QuoteGreen Lady What the Mail has really got wrong is claiming that the decision to stop playing BS live was a result, rather than a cause, of arguments about it on this site. The big argument first really boiled up on the live thread for the St. Louis show, AFTER it became clear that BS wasn't going to be played. This is it! Whatever motivated the band's decision, must be sought

To me EMOTIONAL RESCUE is even better than SOME GIRLS, both among their approximately twelve great albums, preferably otherwise without internal ranking. It is the songs outside the very best though that make EMOTIONAL RESCUE even better than SOME GIRLS, whereas I abstain from ranking between those two albums' very best three songs. There, however, "Down in the Hole", not onl

Quotefloodonthepage YES YES YES! LA #2 destroys LA #1!!!!!!!! Only reading: Instead of one setlist "destroying" the other, for me I rather like the variation as such that there is in the setlists. That variation must have increased the pleasure further for those that have gone to both concerts. It certainly would have done so for me.

QuoteStoneage The two plausible release dates would be a) for Christmas 2021 b) for the 60th jubilee in 2022. Or never... Or when it is finished. Instead of seeking an outward occasion for the release (and somehow let the release be drowned in that outward occasion), let the release create an occasion, the occasion, in itself.

I consider that clip most of all as Mick teasing the fans. If not, Mick would do nicely to introduce a few verses to the song's supposed title. Then, maybe!?

I hope the choice not to play "Brown Sugar" has nothing to do with Woke, but only is the result of Mick not feeling comfortable about singing it, without his feelings being provoked by that Woke phenomenon. Edit: Spelling error

If it was not clear enough, with my suggestion in the earlier post of mine of a double album, one LP without, one LP with that alleged "techno pop", I meant two versions of each song. One separate album without "techno pop" versions, one separate album with. That would make it possible for listeners to hear both versions of the album or only one of them, according to their pre

However, in relation to that allegorical perspective, it is the family themselves or the close friends themselves that have to decide what to do and how. It does not belong to the distant guests to tell them what to do about the continuation of their lives.
