I am listening to a live national interview with the Stones being broadcast on 102.9 MGK IN Philly, and believe it or not, Keith came up with the Orwellian barnyard allegory for Rough Justice, not Mick. I would have sworn Jagger came up with that idea. To hell with all the Keith naysayers!!!
Uh oh- Keith just called Brian's death a tragic accident- and then added- "just like the rest of his life." Really poor taste, Keith.  |

I don't think that that line is in poor taste at all. Brian,while a very gifted musician,and founder of the Stones,was,in fact,a major fuckup. He was an emotional basketcase,as many have attested to. He beat on women,and left more than a few of them holding his children. Which,by the way,he never gave any help to at all. Be it finacial,emotional,or even an acknowledgement. The guy holds a special place for one reason,and one reason only. He was the founding member of the Stones,and helped with some very cool tunes with his multi instramental abilities.
The fact that some here are so oblivious to this guys failings is nothing more than revisionist history. Most people,both inside the band,and outside,said the same thing about Brian. He was spoiled angry child that could not handle the success that he originaly wrought. Once Jagger,and Richards came to the fore he was lost. For those that play the sympathy card every time Brian's name is mentioned I just shake my head and laugh. The guy was a first class asshole. A talented (for a time),asshole,but an asshole all the same.
That's just the facts,and I don't think that Keith should be constrained in pointing out the obvious.
Just my two cents.

agreed Riffhard
there's nothing "poor taste" about the truth
it may not be palatable for some but it sure is better than "revisionist" hindsight - tho i might say keith HAS been guilty of that on occasions
but not this time |

Hey, Brian was an ass. No doubt about it. Really just a bad person in many ways. Anybody who knows anything about the guy knows that, but I thought Keith's comment was a bit harsh, and uncalled for considering the topic being discussed. |

Did you guys hear them say that the next single off the record was going to be "Rain fell down?" I like the tune, but the next single??? I hope not. |

It could be wise strategically in the sense that Rain Fall Down might get wider airplay because it could see rotation on radio staions that cater to "dance friendly" music, for lack of a better term. |
