QuoteDandelionPowderman QuoteStoneage At the time I thought it was one of the stronger tracks on "She's The Boss". In hindsight it's very 1985 though. Synths all over the place.

Quotestonesstein While Coming Down Again sounds like what it is - a junkie ballad from a guy too wasted to care, people who matter (the Stones) deemed it worthy to be on GHS back when. I wish they had put Chris Cross Man on GHS instead of CDA, but they didn't ask me. (Imagine that?) As for All the Rage, it's no more a GHS song that the Exile "remake" trax like Plundered an

It has been a long time since I listened to the only very few albums that I have got from Marvin Gaye. However, to me even his own album, MPG, is much to prefer to WHAT'S GOING ON. That was a highly strange choice.

My latest and probably(?) my last Rolling Stones concert was in Stockholm, 2017. I had to look it up and find that it was on October 12 at Friends Arena, Solna. With the largely unchanged setlists, one concert was enough for me. With only one concert I enjoyed it very much. Had I seen more than one, however, what I then experienced as very, very good and sometimes great, would have worn off

Maybe controversial, but personally I do think though that the influence from the Otis Redding version on Stones later live versions of "Satisfaction" detracts somewhat from the greatness of the song, compared with the earlier live renditions of it from the Stones, that is, the few I have heard. I guess that parts of the menace about the original song is lost that way. Saying this
