Well, the Stones have chosen a different path--to do exactly what they have
always done, in exactly the same way, for 30 years.  This way, they haven't
ever confused any of their fans.  (Imagine being time-warped from 1964 to
1993--wouldn't you have a doubt or two about whether PsychoD was really by
the same Pete Townshend?)  Stones fans never had to grow and stretch with
their fave artist.

Obviously it works.  The Stones still sell out stadiums, they still get
plenty of MTV time.  And it's cost-effective.  You only have to own one
Stones album to know how they all sound.
