For those of you with sufficient musical taste to appreciate the Stones

Meh. Jagger's preening is almost as irritating as that of Mercury and... don't you think, with all that undoubted talent, (Keef), it's criminal that they failed to leave us with a heaving mass of Great Songs?

They stuck to a very simple formula and never really tried to innovate. Jagger’s act is just that. If it didn’t work, someone as bright and calculating as him woukd have changed it.

That’s the thing, really. The Stones have been a cynical money-making machine for so long, it’s difficult to remember that they might have been something else once upon a time.

Clever bloke Mick, did he not insist his Daughters did their A levels despite being paid loads as Models?

Yep - it's weird. They are an act whose best days were before even we were born, b. Maybe not WES who might actually be in his 60s. No idea what they were like as a new act (save video footage etc). Probably a bit like when S Club 7 came through to challenge Steps I reckon
