Quotelem motlow But wait, isn’t Jagger a putz for hanging out with high society and meeting people like “Prince Rupert” who Mick subsequently hired to look after the bands finances? Hmmm I’d like to keep my “artistic credibility” and still own a couple of mansions and an island home or two while being too fckd up to stay awake.How do I do that? I’ll take Mick Jagger for $500 million Alex.

I saw Buddy just before the covid madness and it was rather sad. I left early. I probably caught him on one of his bad days.

Judging from TV, Axl's voice is not what it used to be. Guitars are great as always.

I am probably less informed about the Stones' love lives in 1960s, but Anita did not come out very nicely from this documentary.

Quoteerikjjf Crazy Mama - Rolling Stones Crazy Mama - JJ Cale (also played by Paul Butterfield & Rick Danko) Naturally, I prefer the Stones version. But the other one is also quite nice. These two are different songs, not versions of the same. I like the one by Stones but must say that JJ Cale's song is pure genius.

Got to the select and buy stage and thought why so much. When did a gig become a £200 layout. Probably double with travel and drinks and meals etc. I bailed. Most of the tickets are no

Quotetreaclefingers QuoteNikkei Whenever one of them died, like recently Beck, I get the feeling that I'm responsible to feel something about it. I am not a fan of old guys I am a fan of the Stones. I get that the Stones feel something about it, they don't have many peers, but do I have to? I was bombarded with links to Beck songs I am supposed to know and it just feels like more homewo

Bill's Rhythm Kings were always great fun. Not original music, but great live delivery. His bass playing was just delicious.

The best? Possibly the young "Nashville Masters" (Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck & co.) in Prague around 1985. Absolute eye opener. Ike Turner (Jazz Cafe London 2008) and JJ Cale (London 1992) were amazing. And then of course all the Stones (together or individually) in various places.

QuoteKoen QuoteDGA35 During this World Cup, I've read articles about who is the goat, Messi or Ronaldo. To all the IORR'ers who follow the sport, your thoughts, either of them or someone else? The goat is Pelé. Second one is Cruijff. Then probably Messi/Maradona. Ronaldo (CR7) is a great player, but not nearly a goat, IMNSHO. Exactly my thoughts.

Quotetreaclefingers QuoteDoxa The success of Taylor Swift is unbelievable. She sold in America almost a milloin physical copies in three days plus the singular songs topping the single charts, meaning they are also streamed helluva a lot. In absolute terms she doesn't compare, but relatively speaking, if compared to other artists nowadays, as a record seller she is doing better than The Beat

I saw them in Ronnie Scotts when they played (jammed?) after Ronnie Wood's tribute to Chuck Berry. That was rather awkward. I assume this tour is different.
