OK, that's what I thought you were getting at but I wasn't sure if the
sarcasm was directed at me personally. I can be a right twit. ;-)
However, where as it would be nice to think the Stones were profoundly
influenced by The Who's CFNY set, & made some kind of substantial shift
in their live sound to....compensate? From what I've heard from people,
the Stones have been pretty loud & raw-sounding on their past few tours,
as well. I don't think this is something new for the Stones.
Besides, compared to, say, the band Nashville Pussy, or the Makers, The
Who are "professional-sounding & polished," as well. Ooops! I made a
comparison. Forgive me of my sins, Jeff. For I know not what I do.
And if I may be allowed one last comparison in my final statement: At
least we Who fans don't have sit through the embarrassment of watching
Roger Daltrey wiggle his ass like Mick Jagger. Or would that be a good
thing?
