QuoteThe Sicilian QuoteOlly It's unfortunate for Wyman's legacy that the beginning of the Stones' best era as a live act coincided with him leaving the band. Would we have had those swaggering, uninhibited performances during 1994/5 with a motionless Wyman onstage? Bill's departure seemed to release the Stones back to their roots. A capable bassist, but Darryl Jones i

Quoterunaway It looks 70s to me and Keith is looking to another person with a drink and cigarette. Yes, no doubt in my mind about that. Keith definitely is not looking at whatever it is Taylor is doing in that moment.

Don Was mentions in an interview, for the re-release of Exile and the bonus tracks, that he specifically searched for anything Parsons may have done with the Stones at Nellcote while going through the vault. But he couldn't find anything... Leon Russell has a mention of Graham in connection to Wild horses here... says he does not believe its his song... video: Nice cover though..

I can understand why so many are put off by Donald Trump -- he has indulged in some inflammatory rhetoric, and misrepresented a number of issues..(in the latter he is far from alone though).

Perhaps an interesting sidebar for some... I believe Bill Wyman says that when he quit, he put it to Mick, Keith and Charlie to make Ronnie Wood a "full" member on the business end (for those proceeds that are, and were, split 4 ways). Now, perhaps this isn't true or Bill exaggerates his part in this, or The Glimmers would have done it anyway, since they didn't stand to los

Okay, Sway is a good one, no doubt about it, but Moonlight Mile is the weirdest and strangest thing on SF and I dont like it at all. 100 Years Ago is simple boring, boring, boring and Dead Flowers is an attempt to write a country song without creating a highlight, it´s rather average.
