Kind of like some NFL quaterbacks that didnt know when to quit ,seems like everyone knew it but them,kind of sad
The Stones, retire or re-invent themselves?
At least in some circles, and from some people it is popular to bash the Stones as being too old, or irrelevant.
I personally believe they still put on one of the best shows out there. It is though, the source of much of the criticism, and a question of how long Mick can prance about the stage?
However, I do agree that their best albums were made long ago, maybe back to "Some Girls" and before.
My solution to the Stones dilemma, if indeed they have one, is too become at least partially acoustic, and make country-blues albums.
I envision an album of songs along the lines of "Sweet Virginia", "No Expectations", "Far Away Eyes", "Country Honk", "Salt of the Earth", & "Sweet Black Angel", for example. Hey, they might even bring back Mick Taylor for some sweet licks on the slide, and Mick blowing on the harp.
The show would be in smaller venues which would accommadate a semi-acoustic sound.
Am I on to something, or should aging rockers from the 60's and 70's call it a day?
