So much of his tribute band stuff is rubbish and his recent outings have been dismal, he should stop; maybe it was the presence of George Martin and, Knopfler, I think, and others that kept this one going but baby I was amazed.<br /><br />Stealing My Heart and Start Me Up, don't amount to much in the years since Exile on Main Street but they're about it, I think, Stoneswise. If only they could have met another Ry Cooder to rip-off.<br /><br />I think, mr elby, that future musical historians will value the Beatles as sometimes-original artistes, the Stones as, for a few years, skilled exponents of that part of the blues known as urban. Odd, too, they might reflect, that the four most original and significant contributors to the Stones magic - Cooder, Jones, Taylor and Ian Stewart are all but airbrushed out of the Stone Age.call me ishmaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369028864168461729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-14285158524800966102009-09-17T20:49:48.948+01:002009-09-17T20:49:48.948+01:00Not bad for the old cunt.

Am on a huge Beatles and early Stones jag (pre Exiles, their last record of note) at the moment; the Beatles stereo remixes are monstrous, and a return to Aftermath yesterday reminded me how much I adored them. <br /><br />And Exiles is one of the finest rock 'n roll records of all time. All down hill after that, with a few good thigh-slappers along the way. Love Keef to bits. Still. A role model for this old man in his youth, bless him.Elby the Beserkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060519682739666145noreply@blogger.com
