Quotescotttilson How dramatic it would be if Mick... in his first song back...took center stage and delivered Love in Vain. It would be truly historic but would take tremendous courage. It would be lame. One of the reasons Mick is an interesting celeb is the fact that he doesn't do crap like that. Putting your private emotions out there to entertain a crowd is lame.

Quotesonomastone Quotedrbryant The Beatles tried their hand at rock and roll from time to time, but by and large, post-Help, those tended to be the weaker tracks on their albums. Their best later-period albums, Sgt.
