Thanks for the suggestions. Those I have not heard, I will check out. Never “gotten” Wilco, but will give another shot – I thought their opening slot for the Stones in Atlanta was a snoozer. I do like a lot of these “solid” bands. But again, the difference between “good” and “great” seems clear to me. I would hardly equate the White Stripes to the Stones or Arcade Fire to the Beatles.

For the record, I am not living in the past…I was born in ’76. There are certainly “good” bands around now, but no one I would rank with those mentioned above. Moreover, the good stuff now is not popular and therefore not significant culturally.

Is there any better soundtrack for the madness of modern war than Gimme Shelter, Sympathy for the Devil, Paint it Black, Midnight Ramber, 2000 Light Years, etc.? Even songs like “Live With Me” and “JJF” have really rough edges to them, lyrically. I love the entire catalogue, but the menacing tone of these classics are the band at its best, in my opinion. I wonder why Jagger has seemingly a

Yeah, there were hints at it, nothing real clear: 1, At the beginning of the movie, a girl leans over at Damon showing her tits and he doesn't seem to care. A minute later, when another guy is watching him, he ogles a passing girl. 2. Walburg's character yells something at him at one point like "oh yeah, I'll show you the codes if you come with me down in the garage.&

My theory: Some bands must work out side deals with the ticket brokers to funnel them primo tickets and take a cut of the mark-up. Anyone confirm that this goes on?

Horrible? You're just being contrary for the sake of it. I can accept not the greatest or ok, but "horrible" is pure b.s.

True, No Security was interesing, but I stick by my post. The only weakness in it - the lack of the "dark" songs I love so much: Midnight Rambler Gimme Shelter Paint it Black Sympathy was in there, though!

And 24 songs strong, I might add. (They had a great video montage for You Got Me Rockin' that night and it was dropped the rest of the tour as far as I know - would be cool to see that again. Anyone else remember??)

Clapton is fun is you happen to like never ending guitar solos and zero interaction with the audience. I like his records, but his concerts bore me.
