'Winter' has always been one of my personal favorites, perhaps because I grew up on the shores of Lake Erie, where they really do have long hard winters. It's a beautiful song, one of their very best. Someday the Stones will get the recognition they deserve for all the great slow and mid-tempo gems they recorded.

The 'Holy Trinity' from Exile - Loving Cup, Let It Loose, and Shine A Light for the long ride there and Moonlight Mile, Memory Motel and Winter for the long ride back. Ok, I cheated.

Star Star is almost a novelty song, whereas Crazy Mama and Hand of Fate are real Stones ass-kickers.

Slowing things down would help with a lot of songs. Tumbling Dice live is always too fast. The other thing that would help would be for everyone, especially Mick, to keep the showmanship under control a little bit. You don't want them to stand still like a bunch of stiffs, but when the visuals become more important than the actual music, it's not good.

The chorus is about as good as it gets for Stones fans. Certainly one of the best Exile bonus tracks. Amost as good as PMS.

"Could use a hook or a middle eight, though." No no. Surf music has to be as simple as possible. That's it's basic charm.

I hear more than one guitar, too. As far as Nicky not being on it, well, yeah, that's the first clue it's not an Exile tune.

Fantastic little number. Sounds like Stones surf music. Don't care when it was recorded, it sounds great.

I'm glad the Stones aren't as slick or technically proficient as some other bands. I saw the Eagles last year and they played flawlessly. Note-for-note they were absolutely perfect. And perfectly boring, too. Only problem was it was all terribly boring. You might as well have been listing to the stereo at home. Only Joe Walsh brought any life to the concert.

The Butler is pretty nice museum. It should be a great reception.

Well, I totally disagree but I won't fight about it. I do not care for Beast of Burden (or most of what's on Some Girls for that matter). Just doesn't do it for me.

Charlie and Keith have aged the best. Part of Mick's problem is that he's so skinny he looks dried up. He'd be be better off putting on a few pounds, like Keith.

What a great article. Fascinating that Perkins plays on some of their best songs from this period.

Noodling on Happy? Seems like an odd choice to highlight. You can make the case on some of his other efforts, but not Happy. It's perfect.

Cancer obviously runs in her family. To blame her illness on her diet, and to infer that she will have a relapse unless she changes it, is beyond the pale.

Now it all makes sense. James deliberately tanked against the Celtics so he could claim he needs to go to another team to win a championship. What a loser. I hope Miami finishes last next year.
