QuoteLeonidP Foo Fighters cover Miss You last night (this morning, actually), live at the Cubby Bear, Chicago: Not too shabby! Not too shappy? That sucked! And what kind of performer drinks out of a plastic cup in the middle of a song? "Miss You" relies on the harmonica and sax for much of its magic, not to mention somebody who can really sing.

Giants fan here. I live in SF. The excitement of having our team in the World Series hasn't gotten old despite the fact that we've been there three of the past five years. There's a buzz around the city with everyone having a good time. KC is like the Beatles. I prefer the Stones -- scrappy, down and dirty, soulful.

I don't think the Clash have aged well. The seem kind of one-dimensional with their politics. However, they are the band of my youth. In 1978, I moved from California to London for six months. The Clash seemed to personify everything that was cool in London in 1978. Joe Strummer's early death made me very, very sad. I have some lyric sheets written in his hand from the "Give '

I don't know anybody in America who cares for the gushiness, the silly clothes, or the pretentious videos. Sophistication has always had a hard time crossing the Atlantic.

Agreed! I love "If You Really Want to Be My Friend." I always thought of it as the Stones' tribute to the Philly Soul sound. Blue Magic, who provide the background vocals, are beautiful. This group (Blue Magic) had a top-ten hit in the summer of 1974, a few months before "It's Only Rock 'n Roll" came out. The song was called "Sideshow": Here

No rock band will ever replace the Stones. Rock and roll is dying. Young people don't go for it. I can't imagine any scenario where a young rock band schools itself in the blues, hones its musical skills over a decade, and puts out a string of masterpiece albums like the Stones did in the years 1968-1973. In the future, fewer and fewer people will play musical instruments. Mixing and

Haven't read it in years, but when I had a subscription in the years 1972-75, my father used to ask to borrow it. He liked the political coverage. After Jann Wenner, the editor, moved the magazine from San Francisco to New York in 1977, the mag became a glitzy celebrity chronicle. Wenner said San Francisco had become "a provincial backwater" when he moved the magazine to NYC.

I like the song in general, but sometimes Jagger's imitation of the Black American accent is embarassing, as it is on this song: "Why'ant ya go down the liquor store, steal something off the shelf and be back here by a quarter to three."
