‘UNDERCOVER’ seems to be the so-called ‘second tier’ entry I happen to listen to most often. Not a big fan of ‘Emotional Rescue’, ‘Tattoo You’, ‘Voodoo Lounge’, ‘Bridges to Babylon’, or ‘Steel Wheels’...although there are bits and pieces from those releases that do have some appeal. And when I’m in the mood for some ‘old’...or should I say ‘early’...Stones, any of their works from the ‘60s wit

They have a week off in the middle of the tour so theoretically they could do a few rehearsals with him and finish the rest of the shows but if he's committed to resting and recuperating after his surgery, that is what he is gonna do. Or he could join the tour mid-way play a few songs each night get a roaring wave of ac

Big question in NE is "Will Mac Jones eventually take over for Cam Newton as the starter...and, if so, when?" I expect Cam to be much better than last season...it would be difficult to not be, given this year's full training camp and the upgraded offensive weapons at his disposal...but wouldn't be surprised to see Jones given a shot if the Patriots stumble out of the gate.

In looking at the photo of Charlie and wife Shirley...taken in May 2020...that's posted in the 'Charlie Adopts Greyhound' thread, that's the most frail I've seen him in recent years. Granted, it may not be the most flattering shot, but I can't help but feel concern for his current health status and how serious this mystery ailment might be. With no definitive insi

Not going to peruse some 13 pages of posts to see if his name has already been brought up but does anyone feel that ex-Faces drummmer Kenny Jones would have been a better choice then Steve Jordan? I thought he and Charlie meshed together very well at Ronnie Lane's ALS Benefit Concert way back when and that he'd be closer to what we get from Charlie vs. what Jordan might sound like.

While the 'purists' were ready to put an asterisk on this year's NBA playoffs because of the number of prominent All-Stars felled by injury, which thereby, in their words, 'diluted the field', I still felt it was going to be incredibly competitive...and was proven correct. What led to this twist? Was it Karma? Destiny? Kismet? In a day and age where NBA superstars have

I no longer have any interest in seeing the band perform live; it would basically be a continuation of what they've been doing for the past decade or so: The Wash, Rinse, Repeat Tour'. Still, if they've got the energy to continue to get up on stage for a couple of hours every third or fourth night and not embarrass themselves, then more power to them. In that case I might watch a f

QuoteGhostTown2021 I've been listening to the Stones long enough now, close to sixty years, to know that NOT every song features "Keith's OPEN G riffs, Ronnie's fills, or Charlie's metronomic drumming".

Just because Mick is remaining active and recording/putting out crap like 'Eazy Sleazy' doesn't immunize him from the criticism being hurled in his direction by those who find this latest 'effort' a bore.

Didn't feel like posting a pre-game teaser prior to the Patriots-Dolphins game (really...what would have been the point?) but I will acknowledge the 'obituaries' that are being written now that NE has failed to make the playoffs for the first time in 12 years, suffered their first losing season under Belichick since 2000, and relied on an offense that looked like it had been culled

The more I think about it, the more Cam Newton looks like a guy who was converted to QB after being drafted to play another position. The passing stats once again failed to barely register a blip on the radar screen as the NE offense struggled to put points on the board in a game against the Rams that was there for the taking. Yet, almost immediately after the defeat, Belichick reiterated that &q
