Jesus, what a whitebread, inane musical judgement.

Neil Diamond exits the stage, Bob Dylan about to go on.
ND: "Follow that."
Bob Dylan: "What do you want me to do, fall asleep onstage?"

Joni Mitchell was onstage with the rest of them.

It's just not that fun to watch, other than seeing them piece together some familiar songs like I've Got A Feeling or Maxwell's Silver Hammer. The release in '96 of the Stones 1968 Rock N Roll Circus was much more exciting because the performances all around had much more energy (plus seeing Brian Jones in his final…

It's harder being a continuing working musician in rock than just being endlessly regurgitated electronic ghosts, safe in your catalogue, like certain other groups. Their haters are people who will reach the same age minus the talent or the fame.

That's true, No Direction was  great, as well as the blues one.  I couldn't understand the wild praise for The Harrison one, giving the random clips, editing, and inordinate length for a Beatles member for whom the group's popularity wasn't exactly built on.

The whole "I'll play what you want you want me to play, and I won't play what you don't want to me to play. Whatever you want from me, I'll do it."

"You'll get more pussy than Frank Sinatra."

He just looks fat and arrogant; don't remember the 'blowing everyone away' part.

Let It Be is mainly some lackadaisical rehearsals in Twickenham, some minor rumbling between Harrison and Paul, and finally a mildly exciting rooftop performance. The bit where John mutters under his breath about Paul not having to be such a bitch, and the segment where he sits staring and smoking at Paul while the…

Scorsese's Stones and Harrison films were both pretty slipshod. His documentary work should really be judged on The Last Waltz alone.

The Stones were never 'old age laughingstocks,' at least to anyone who ever bothered to see them in concert right up to Hyde Park last month and didn't just parrot people who never actually saw or heard them.  Great songs right to Bigger Bang, just outlasted their rivals and radio era.

Probably it's most pertinent influence on modern pop culture was how Mickey Rourke's little joke on his movie date was totally ripped off by The Lonely Island for their "Dick In A Box."

Yes, yes, free-thinkers are trolls, conform or shut up, same old, same old on the AV.

No, it's this thing called 'thinking for oneself.' Strange concept on the AV board, I know, but give it a shot sometime.

Heroes and Changes have some actual emotional resonance; the rest is just coked-out dilletantism.

Just addicted to changing clothes and styles, no devotion to anything. Truly a heartfelt guy.

The continued fascination with Bowie - a bored model whose ADD quick-changes in fashion and music styles gives them no urgency or traction - is truly remarkable.

Poor Gordon Jump; weren't the WKRP residuals enough to avoid these kind of roles?
