Quote3DTeafoe On his Facebook page, Ethan Russell says he's on his way to NYC. I wonder if there is a connection. Just thinkin'... (He has an exhibit opening at the Morrison Gallery on May 4th.) There is a Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary related photo exhibit which is open to the public starting Friday May 4th at The Morrison Hotel Gallery in SoHo.

And my hunch is that the Stones really liked what Don Was did with Bonnie Raitt's Thing Called Love. Don Was did a fantastic job here of a synthesizing a polished modern sounding blues based rock song. Sadly, IMO, with the exception of a couple of songs, he was not as effective with the Stones, especially on Voodoo Lounge and Bigger Bang. I do like what he did with the second coming

Jagger, the guitarist, is a little more intersting than Keith Richards, the "singer". They are both curios and the role playing adds an interesting dimension to the Stones sound. Having said that, I don't pay money to either hear Jagger on a guitar or to hear Keith "sing".
