Mick Jagger and Keith Richards Statues Unveiled in Their Hometown
Statues of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were unveiled today in their hometown of Dartford,
The Guardian reports. The two Rolling Stones met as teenagers at a train station in 1961 and went
on to join the band the next year. Now they are enshrined in bronze mid-performance, destined to
stand there while tourists take photos with them. Jagger is mid-stride, lips pursed, with a microphone
in his hand. Richards is playing his Telecaster, looking down at his instrument contemplatively.

So predictably, the countdown date is probably for the release of a single, with the album to follow a month or two later. Or at least that's how they usually do it. And of course that conveniently drops the album right in time for the Xmas shopping season.Eat Us And Smile

I love the Stones … but their albums since Dirty Work typically had one memorable song. Memorable is relative in this context. They haven’t put out anything memorable in decades. Ok maybe the blues covers album is ok. Conclusion: this new material will suck too. Just give it up boys. Go back to covering blues tunes. I applaud Billy Joel who has not released any new music in 30 years because he knows he can’t write anything worth listening to.
The follow-up, Undercover, had one good track, the title track. The rest was substandard.
I remember buying and listening to Steel Wheels a lot in the month or so running up to the concert I saw on that tour. Couple of so-so tracks. Haven't listened to it (or even had the desire to) in decades.
I also remember the next album after Steel Wheels getting a lot of favorable reviews when it first came out. Bought that, listened to it a bunch, was basically as weak as Steel Wheels only with more songs.
Think I've listened to...what the fuck were they?...Bridges To Babylon and A Bigger Bang a few times each. Nothing memorable or anything I'd want to hear again off of those.
Far as albums, the Stones had a pretty long run (for a rock and roll band, anyway) of putting out good ones. From Beggar's Banquet to Tattoo You, so a good 12 years. But, yeah, it's been over 40 years since they've put out a good one. Can't even say I'll be bothered wanting to hear this new one.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Now go listen to Side Two and take your fucking thorazine.
I'll listen to Side One and have some cocaine.
Then I'll listen to Side Two and have a nice mix of opioids and THC.Roth Army Militia
