Keith was always on the ballad thing.

I see what you mean. I meant Keith didn't sing and soley write these numbers in reference to the album credits. Never been an album credit as to being just a Keith tune.
Again, you can't say well it is this type of ballad, or song so evidently it must be a Keith or Mick written song. You never really know. Their songs can have alot of evolution and transfermation so what makes it to the album is often not what the song originaly started as.
You go by what the group and the people involved in the project say as to who wrote what and how much with versatile bands, especially ones like The Stones.

I realize that. Can anyone understand what I am attempting so hard to communicate here on this subject? I have only been typing it for two months now. My fingers ran through this so many times on my computers keypad it is sickning:
You go by what the band says and the folks who were there in accounting for who wrote what. Any other way is simply assumption and half the time turns out completely inconclusive or flat out backwards.
Everyone at the sessions and writing meetings says Mick and Keith worked together on this particular album more than they have in all the recent albums. They made a solid effort to make it a joint project in terms of writing and working on this album's material and that is what they did and it worked out great.
End of Story.
As I said once before. It isn't Rocket Surgery and at this point there is no more need to specualte. It is what it is. The mystery is long over. I don't know who wrote more of one song or another but I think we all should understand the writing and working out of these songs on A Bigger Bang from both a Mick or Keith stand point are at least pretty close to being as equally important and solid. No Keith does not have writers block. No Mick did not write 90% of this album. Yes Keith can still write and Yes he did so very much all over this album according to the authorities who were there. Why so many have a hard time swallowing this is beyond me.
