more on Stones
I don't listen to The Stones. If they are around (which their marketing
machine ensures that they are) I may find it necessary to listen.
I watched a bit of "Gimme Shelter" a few weeks ago. I've not seen any of it
for many years. I was killing time in a motel in the early afternoon before
the Jones Beach Who show. I was pretty keyed up, but I had to kill some
time. "Gimme Shelter" was on the tube and it put me to sleep. The music in
that movie is boring. No - I did not compare it to The Who @ Jones Beach
;-)
Now on to some semantics :-) "The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band"
title always makes me think of P.T. Barnum. I don't get any more upset with
the title "Greatest Show on Earth" than I do about The Stones
self-proclaimed title. It is packaging, nothing more.
