Quotejamesfdouglas... I can't really argue that, Doxa. It's a 'show' now. I still think that when they started using a kabillion extras in 89-90, the five members were still driving the tunes home. The b/u folks, over the years, have helped make the decline much less noticeable. Here's some baseless specualation! It's almost like they'd set it up in 89 to

Well, my two-year old son seems to laugh every time he sees Mick Jagger performing - but musically he seems to be more into Bob Dylan. (Poor kid - his dad won't play him much else...)

I remember so well when those songs (ME; LIS) came out - both them sounded quite pleasing, like a promise that this will be another 'big Stones song' - which they never turned out to be. The catchiness of both of them died quite quickly and I think neither of them is survived very well - throwaway songs, really. The video of ME flirted nicely with nostalgy - at that time that was so

It looks like that rumours of Earl Court gigs being their last in 'capital' didn't hold true... Do the Stones ever play in London without that sort of speculation? Remember 02...

But the question arises, are the albums anymore manufactured to be listen as wholes? I mean, aren't they more like faceless collections of songs? A BIGGER BANG does not offer much drama.
