QuoteStoneage I see no reasons whatsoever to postpone the release of the album. Time is not on their side anymore. I think it would be a good idea to release the album while the remaining core members are still well and healthy. This album may very well be the last effort from the band. Make sure that all the band members can celebrate that. I do so much agree about this! Well spoken, Stonea

I don't know so much about Joe South. But I fell for "Games People Play", in its time, possibly 1969. A wonderful song it is. I have to admit that I am uncertain now, if I bought the single or a compilation/an album with the song on. I think it was an album. There was also the song "Mirror of Your Mind". (Blush! But where did I put it?) "Who's that fool

There were four songs on a, I don't remember which, comprehensive compilation, that I did not buy. I, who don't buy compilations, if they do not contain new material, felt irritated at the time by having to buy all that stuff to gain four songs. Also hoping for a separate release a little later. (I would have bought the compilation now to obtain the songs). I think I have had a most di

Yes, you may be right, Big Al, that Lennon did not necessarily think so in every respect. But I think much of the distinction still applies.

I am another, who live in Norway. I was slightly aware of Elvis before the arrival of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. But Elvis did not matter anything to me then. During part of that period I spent time with a boy in my neighbourhood. When his family moved to another part of my town, I visited him. I then listened to his Elvis singles as he was quite into Elvis. I found those OK, but nothin

I relate to the UK version of AFTERMATH. There to me "Goin' Home" is a major attraction. Besides, this song number is a link between the R&B band that they started out as, and the "progressive pop" band that they were continuing as during a phase with three studio albums and some marvellous 'noisy" single A-sides and remarkable B-sides of a different cha

What bv called bad losers, Doxa, was to talk about Norway actually cheating. They asked permission. There have been winter Olympic Games at least once, when Finland did better than Norway.

I guess there have been, so to speak, many parameters about this band, the Rolling Stones. Ian Stewart one of them. Those are almost all of them, all the same, important aspects of variation of what is still one collective unit, the Rolling Stones.
