Wonderful, wonderful guy. He had a sense of excitement and possibility that helped sharpen The Who's artistic assault on the English class system and on the moral and sexual hypocrisies of their day. After The Who, his sense of decency and again, of possibility, made him a leader in the treatment of addiction and trauma. He was a lovely and always dapper presence in New York City and out

Funny about "Harvest Moon." If you listen closely, it suggests the preservation or the reconnection to a long relationship that has seen some wear and tear and some drift. He talks fondly about the beginning of the affair and then notes the passage of time and sets a contrast to the present, "but it's gettin' late now..." and "I wanna see you dance again..."

I guess my feeling is that many Stones songs are "underrated." I mean, how could anyone overrate, say, "Jumpin' Jack Flash," or "Waiting On A Friend" or "No Expectations or "Get Off Of My Cloud?"
