Quotevertigojoe Britpop came after Grunge, and was killed by cocaine. Yes, grunge certainly does pre-date Brit-Pop. In fact, the latter was a reaction to what was coming out that American scene. It’s funny, as although Blur are seen as being synonymous with the Brit-Pop movement, they do pre-date it. They got their break around the same time as the Charlatans, circa 1990.

There’s nothing be to me here, personally. It should be more widely known to followers of the Rolling Stones that Ronnie didn’t, somehow, magically materialise in 1975. Even before the Faces and Jeff Beck Group, Ronnie was a known in the scene. Those Birds singles are terrific.

I have no idea, really. There seems to be this misconception that, just because they were part of the 'same era', that they would necessarily know one another. I am sure there are many, many, equally famous 60’s musicians who never actually met. Didn’t Keith address something like this, regarding a Jim Morrison association? It may have been during one of those Q&A snippets. Regardin

Angry and Tell Me Straight are both definite inclusions, in my opinion. They may have a coupe of other numbers in rotations; Whole Wide World; Mess it Up, and Bite My Head Off being three probable's.

IF the Stones perform in London once again, then surely Wembley Stadium should be on the cards. Hyde Park is terrific, yet seeing them at England’s national stadium would be marvellous.

Wasn’t it The Brit Awards, where Ronnie had the drunken altercation? That was hilarious. It’s on YouTube, I’m sure. Regarding whether the Stones will make an appearance: I very much doubt it. Ronnie’s the only Stone who seems to spend considerable time there. The Brit Awards was decent in the 90’s; not so much now.
