Q The Stones are playing the Bay Area three days before the Who. We're inviting readers to weigh in on which is the greater band. How do you vote? Why?
A The Stones are ``greater.'' But the Who are probably best musically right now. We carry less baggage, but as a result we may also convey less magic. Simply seeing Mick and Keith standing on a stage together rocks my world.
Both bands are far too old and successful to even worry about all this, but I think perhaps we do. Mick is competitive I know. But he is also incredibly supportive; he has called me during this tour, brought me in to work on his solo records and has been to see the Who play a number of times in the past 10 years. Keith writes his friends get-well cards these days.
I will always be a fan of the Stones until the day I die. They helped to shape me; remember that when I was 16 at art school in Ealing they did their few shows in London at the Ealing Club nearby. The word was out two years before I wrote my first song.
