at least hayden added a few more syllables to "overrated"

What kinda irks me, though, I have to admit, is when people dismiss the Stones catalog just becuz they think they "suck" based on what the Stones are today. I think people are missing some great music with blinders like those on. Beggars Banquet through Goats Head Soup is some fantastic stuff, and much of their earlier LPs are great, too, like Between the Buttons.

Did it make me look smart? That's what I was aiming for.

they didn't used to suck, but now they do. they are not in true form.

they stopped being the stones I knew and loved right after Some Girls. They're really not the same band.

keith has always been keith.

True.

mick is also still a pretensious cock. you know that lower class english accent he does? it's completely fake. he's been doing it for years.

Yeah, I always knew it was a put-on. I think people put up with it more in the 60s/early 70s, even knowing it was a put-on, becuz so much stuff was a put-on back then, and they were groovey with just going, "Oh, that's Mick, being coy." These days, it's just annoying.

it's such a shame about him too, he used to be as pretty as toilette.

Ha, yeah. What an innocent-looking schoolboy. Before coke and disco.

the stones rock. that's all you need to know.

My all time favorite stones song though is not a rocker, but WAITING ON A FRIEND.


when I found the original 7" single I played it maybe 20 times in one week.

gmku, forgive the young-un's. they know not what they say or do.

I woudlmuch rather go see a rolling stones show today than a Franz Ferdinand or a belle and sebastian or a sufjan stevens show.

Well, yeah, given those choices, I'd choose the Stones concert anyday. They still do entertain, even if they're not as "relevant" anymore.

I like Waiting on a Friend, too. I often forget about the Tattoo You album. It's pretty good. I like Slave, Heaven, and Hang Fire off that, too.

Hang Fire always makes me feel great

In the sweet old country where I come from
Nobody ever works
Yeah nothing gets done
We hang fire, we hang fire

You know marrying money is a full time job
I don't need the aggravation
I'm a lazy slob
I hang fire, I hang fire
Hang fire, put it on the wire

They suck.

I put Tattoo You on over the weekend. So nice. The first 4 songs on that first side are just so slacker perfect. Perfect for clinging to that Tequilla Sunise and never getting anything done... The second side is nice, too, appropriate for when you're crashing from the tequilla daze...

my friend barks on about Modest Mouse all the time.. blah blah blah Modest Mouse. i said, play me an album, he played some album which i listened to with an open mind, jesus it was some god awful shite.
