All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.

Time Waits For No One
Time can tear down a building or destroy a woman's face
Hours are like diamonds, don't let them waste
Time waits for no one, no favors has he
Time waits for no one, and he won't wait for me

Such a fabulous song! Mick J on a slow burn, Mick T just brilliant, and Charlie gets his natural jazz on. When they were great, they were terrific.
In early May 1963, the band's manager, Andrew Loog Oldham, said (Ian) Stewart should no longer be onstage, that six members were too many for a popular group and that the older, burly, and square-jawed Stewart did not fit the image. He said Stewart could stay as road manager and play piano on recordings. Stewart accepted this demotion. Richards said: "[Stu] might have realised that in the way it was going to have to be marketed, he would be out of sync, but that he could still be a vital part. I'd probably have said, 'Well, fuck you', but he said 'OK, I'll just drive you around.'
That's a difficult thing to have to accept. He accepted it with grace.
It is, after all, show biz.
I used to know someone who toured opening for the Stones. He and the guys in the band he was in came back from the tour making fun of the Stones for "hitting their marks". It seems their show was choreographed so that it would sync with the light show. Because of this, Keith had to step into certain spots and raise his hand and wave his arms in just such a way at the same time in the song on every performance.
The whole thing was choreographed like that.
It is show business. Mick realized that, and somehow he wedged artists like Ron Wood, Keith Richards, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts into that platform, and they became the biggest band in the world.
A lot of people have been saying the Stones have been going down for a very long time. I remember people saying this way back when It's Only Rock n Roll and Goat's Head Soup.
For my money, they made some of their best music later in their career, even into this century.
Never Make a Saint of Me Rough Justice Emotional Rescue Undercover of the Night Start Me Up She's So Cold Almost Hear Me Cry One Straight to The Body Harlem Shuffle
I'm sure I am forgetting some good stuff.
Also Mick Jagger has done some great stuff,just in the past four years.
Doom and Gloom? "all the passengers were drunk and insane" LOL. I remember when they were the de-facto house band of Studio 54. There was a rumor around that Mick paid the owners to keep the Stones in "heavy rotation". A new term at the time.

It's Only Rock n' Roll is my favorite Stones album. Then Exile.
Yeah, Mick Taylor was great.
So was Ian Stewart.
