The stones policy towards photographers obviously changed in the beginning of the 70's, but I hope the book will contain a fair amount of photos from the seventies too.

QuoteDoxa QuoteNaturalust I think it's a great example of how Keith and Mick write, with Keith providing this level of writing, at best, and Mick finishing the job. And I hate to say it but 95% of the work is usually in the last 5% of the job. Get it Done, man. Exactly. The song has pretty much the same vibe as many Keith's Winos stuff. What Keith is interested is the sound, th

QuoteDoxa I can't stop watching that "Commit A Crime"... it is a long time since I've heard that kind of old riff rock blues sounding so good. Jagger and Beck are perfect partners in crime. The edge in Jag's voice, the meanness in Jeff's guitar. I think no any British singer or guitar player of that generation could suited better there than those two. Both of them as

Mick Jagger read some verses from Shelleys poem Adonais in Hyde Park 1969 in memory of Brian Jones, who had drowned few days earlier. Beat poetry and romantic poetry have been influences to the Jagger/Richards’ lyrics since they wrote their first song. But the table has also been turning. Stones-lyrics have influenced poets too. Partly or more thoroughly. I think it could be of interest to map th

The White Album can easily be reduced to a single album, but not Exile. The suggestions above show it.
