QuoteHairball Quoteguitarbastard there wont be another stones tour probably.. shurely not 2021. Imagine if they did a live stream pay-per-view with only a small handful of family and close friends in actual attendance? Maybe do a series of them in different settings to mimic a tour. Surely they could set a record for virtual "attendance", not to mention all the money they could ra

QuoteSomeTorontoGirl QuoteSwayed1967 Wow, I never knew that. Artistic licence indeed - Neil was closer to Florida than Northern Ontario, practically speaking. IMO, you’re a southerner if you don’t live north of the Wawa goose. But sticking with Canuck lyricists, the second verse of ‘Suzanne’ usually gives me goosebumps...

I renounced my Canadian citizenship over this song. Somewhat drastic to be sure - I mean there are worse Stones covers out there - but I couldn't keep bowing to a regime that force-fed me crap like this with their fascist Canadian content laws. They brainwash you in Canada. And here's the proof: I was a Streetheart fan before I was a Stones fan! How f##ked up is that? Think about it.

I just listened to Starship Trooper for the first time in at least 30 years. It took a little time to find it cuz I couldn’t recall the title – all I remembered was that it was the only YES song I ever liked. Glad I reconnected with it - Transcendent and joyous tune. However, I have no desire to delve further into ‘prog rock.’ Growing up Canadian and bound by Canadian content laws, I’m more fa

For doggy style definitely Bitch – your dong mimics the movements of the brass section. I find that Jumping Jack Flash is good for cowgirl when the woman gets tired and needs you to pick up the slack. But if your woman wants conventional missionary romance, screw the Stones and put on ‘Tonight’s the Night.’

The Doobie Brothers – Michael McDonald is a God. Get on your knees and pray! REM – Haven’t a clue what Stipe is singing in Pretty Persuasion but it sure sounds perty. The Flying Burrito Brothers – Dylan said Palace of Sin was his favorite record of 69. Good enough for me. (And a true Stones fan gets Gram onto this list with either this band or The Byrds.)

I owned the Essential Jimi Hendrix compilation as a kid which is pretty much all you need…or so I thought until I heard 1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be) for the first time just a few days ago. Praise Neptune!

No, actually it’s fantastically overrated among the small minority of fans who like ABB since LIND always seems to garner the most praise. I understand why people single this song out but to elaborate on that would be to insult them so I’ll hold my peace. Suffice it to say I haven’t listened to anything on ABB since its Creation.

Four pages to discuss (and at times praise!) this flimsy excuse for a song?? The guitars sound pleasant enough - the song had potential - but the lyrics have that 90s Jagger stink. Three verses of Jagger finding unimaginative ways to say the same thing over and over: ‘loosen up, babe.’ It’s a three-word song with no emotional or intellectual depth. Jagger would never have released something so

When the Stones lost the prolific and creative Keith Richards to his drug dealers in the 70s the band went downhill. And their descent to mediocrity found another gear soon after when the Jagger who could write powerful lyrics jumped ship. One would hardly notice the loss of Brian, Mick T. Bill etc. if the Glimmers hadn’t burned out (just like few people in 1971 mourned the loss of Brian when the

QuoteHairball Could be my favorite episode mostly because it's Johnny Cash, but not because of his acting skills ha.

Quotetomcasagranda The other song was I Saw The Light, which Johnny recorded specifically for the episode. I wasn’t aware of that, thanks. Given the popularity of the Cash episode I’m surprised that other artists like Dylan or Jagger didn’t audition for Columbo – both would’ve made great villains.
