I get it if people tend to be repetitive though... Can't you just be satisfied in not liking something, is it that you have to convince everyone else not to like it too? Is there some sort of "satisfact

My review of HD. Let me preface it by saying I haven’t listened to it in months. Angry – Vacuous lyrics (sad when compared to Mick’s truly provocative lyrics in the 60s and 70s but I suppose we should all be used to it by now) but the mediocrity of the song is partially concealed by the production. It kinda sounds like ‘Sweethearts Together’ on steroids. It’s ok, I guess, if you’re the kind of

This isn’t the best song on the album (that honor probably belongs to one of the Jagger numbers) but it’s my favorite. For me this is the only song that can trace its roots back to Exile. Not that it sounds like it could’ve been written during the Exile sessions – it doesn’t – but in this song I dreamily see and hear those same lions who roamed the earth during my youth. Mick and Keith were lions

Who sings Honky Tonk Women in the shower? I’ll answer that question but first let me just say that I’m enjoying the new album immensely while recognizing that it doesn’t have long legs. By that I mean I won’t be spinning this a year from now. For me this is ‘She’s The Boss’ all over again. Although Wandering Spirit obviously has more Stonesy sex appeal I’ve long considered ‘She’s The Boss’ to

This song is an insult to Stones fans who dogmatically refuse to buy Jagger solo records. He’s been jailed for lesser offences.

A compassionate and groundbreaking piece of music in which Keith reinvents himself as the poster boy for musician-assisted suicides. I ask you - What man intent on blowing his brains out but lacking sufficient courage to pull the trigger wouldn’t be grateful to hear this dirge? BANG!

“One Mississippi, two Mississippi…” Far and away the funniest line in the history of film thanks to Mick’s thespian skills. Jagger was robbed by the Academy (again). Oh, Hairball was, is, and will continue to be a w@nker…cradle to grave – don’t need a time machine to know that.

Jagger looks and sings like an escaped mental patient but that could be by design I suppose…It’s also rather noisy but that probably works to the song’s advantage –if an acoustic version of this song were released I feel Keith would be justified in circulating a petition to lock Jagger out of studios (including his own). It could be realized too through an intervention with some trickery. Every t

The music of the Stones and some others will be featured in commercials etc. for eternity but only the trivia buffs will be able to tell the bands apart. It’ll be just like classical music today…I’ll hear some famous piece playing in the background and say ‘isn’t that Mozart?
