I was impressed with A Bigger Bang. It covers a lot of musical territory -- rock, blues, country, ballads. It really is the best Stones album since Tattoo You. The more I listen to the record, though, the more I realize how much Jimmy Miller's producing skills meant to the band. I keep thinking how good A Bigger Bang would be if Miller were producing. Most people would acknowledge that

In this 1967 proto-music video of "We Love You," the Rolling Stones allude to their recent drug bust and tabloid headlines converning the "naked girl in the rug," Marianne Faithful. Keith wears a judge's wig. Mick appears naked underneath a fur coat. Marianne looks stoned and has a bad hair cut (what did Mick ever see in her?).

Continuing his slurring from the 1975 Tour of the Americas, Jagger demonstrates that cocaine makes the lips and tongue go numb. The guitarists and rythme section carry the band in this rendition of "Jumping Jack Flash."

The weirdest rumor is floating around Riverside, California radio stations -- that the body of Gram Parsons has been dug up in the nearby Mojave desert. Parsons and Keith were great friends in the early 1970s, and Parsons may have inspired (some say written) "Wild Horses." Parsons' road manager, Phil Kaufman, claimed that Parsons had remarked that he did not want to be buried w

Hopkins tickled the keys very nicely, but Preston was miles above him. You can find Preston's fingerprints all over these Stones songs: Miss You, Heartbreaker, Melody, If You Really Want to Be My Friend, I Got the Blues, and Shine a Light. Listen to recordings from the 1973 European tour to see how creative he was. His background stylings are awesome. I miss Billy Preston. He added

Alvin Lee. In general, English lead guitarists are the worst. They don't understand that less is more, and Alvin Lee is the epitomy of bad English guitarists. Keith's solos are not "minimalist." They are soulful in the manner of Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, and B.B. King. Keith doesn't turn his solos into road races to see who can go fastest. BTW, I think Mick Tayl

Check this out: A 1967 BBC documentary and roundtable discussion with Mick Jagger, a Professor Psychology at Manchester University, and a moderator. They discuss crowd behavior. Jagger is very eloquent on the subject of audiences and how he feels when he's performing. There is also some good Stones concert footage. It's a half hour long, and the first five minutes show bizarre scenes

Don Kirschner's Rock Concert, circa 1973, with all except Mick lip-synching "Angie" and Mick Taylor pretending to play piano. Don Kirschner was a geeky-looking guy.

Musically, "Goat's Head Soup" is great, but the album is underrated because the song lyrics are the worst of any Stones record. The haunted-house "Dancing with Mr. D." lyrics are daft. The "Silver Train" lyrics are meandering and practically meaningless. Both of those songs could have been Top 40 hits if the lyrics were better. Like others, I like the wis

I was heavily into the blues when Exile came out, so I immediately appreciated the album in spite of, or maybe because of, its rough edges. Back in the late 60s and early 70s there used to be this thing called a "concept album." Instead of thinking of the record as individual songs, you were supposed to listen to the songs one after the other and let them sort of run together. I beli
