Quotecyclist So many of those rumored song titles are clichés... I haven't given them too much thought really, but yes some generic clichés, and nothing too special and/or thought provoking. Get Close and Dreamy Skies sound like they could be the titles of a snuggly Carpenters tune, or even worse something from Michael Bolton c.1980's! But you can't judge a tune by it's

There's also the possibility they recorded a cover tune or two... Thinking maybe a Motown cover ala Just My Imagination or Ain't Too Proud to Beg, or a blues cover ala Love in Vain or Little Red Rooster. Or perhaps they even recorded another reggae cover ala Cherry Oh Baby, though they've never quite managed to do that genre much justice imo. Or...maybe they really did dec

Mick doesn't need to say anything - his love, gratitude, worship, indebtedness, and admiration for Keith is louder than words. And the feeling seems mutual between the two. After all is said and done, as the old saying goes - talk is cheap...

My wife and I saw him a few years ago at the Ventura County Fair for free included with the price of admission to the fair itself. He put on a great show playing so all of his hits, even coming out to the crowd mid-song to mingle. One of the greatest free shows I've ever seen - Tommy is a LEGEND!

As far as greatest rock and roll singers, and if it was up to me, I would add: Jim Morrison - "Break on through"!!! And Paul Rogers - "All right now baby, it's all right now"!!! And Steve Winwood - "Dear Mr. Fantasy, play us a tune..."!!! And Johnny Rotten - "I am an antichrist"!!!

Mick can sometimes come off as a dictator on a major power trip - you can sometimes sense it and see it on stage especially in the last two decades. But guess he can't be blamed too much as he, along with Chuck Leavell, wants to keep the ship sailing as smooth as possible. Mick's the conductor, and he's the boss, and without his direction, imagine how many shipwrecks there woul

QuoteIrix QuoteBashlets Is having Watt a co-writer a good sign? The greatest RnR-band on Earth needs a co-writer and non-Stones related guests .... indeed mixed emotions.

Yes there's plenty of other great examples of Charlies drumming, and indeed too many t
