Regarding how to make a No. 1 I read a university (yeah, I don't even remember from which continent...) had analyzed the No.1s of something like the last 20 years. The result is that long players tend to contain more and more slow songs than before whereas the most successful singles were happy up-tempo ones.

This summer the Stones played the Olympic Stadium in Berlin and Chris opened for German star Nena in the Zitadelle in Berlin-Spandau - same time, probably 10 km distance. Nena is a big Stones fan, Chris the brother. I think pictures of the two have been posted here but nothing mentioned about Nena/Chris and Mick?!

Hi Rocky, hi Rockman - some further thoughts to Ned Kelly: Didn't Mick hate any kind of "contact sports" (especially the very British Rugby)?!

Yes, Rocky, Mick couldn't finish Fitzcaraldo. Mick's character was skipped in the published version but emerged in Klaus Kinski's role - here in Germany regarded as a real mad and wild man!
