Happy 71st, Sir Mick...

Still out there doin' it, prancing the stages as he'd done at half his age ago in defiance of chronology. For Mick, it is less the case of "Time Waits for No One" as it seems "Time is On My Side".

Dunno what Mick is up to these days beyond revving up the Stones worldwide enterprise to audiences with shows that cleverly manage not to tip over into an oldies concert. Doesn't matter, having made Beggers/Bleed/Sticky/Exile in a career IMO earns the right to be as artistically pastiche as they feel like.

A few years ago, during the time of release of Keith's autobiography, a written piece made the rounds that was probably not written by Mick but, as ghostwritten, managed to sound like Mick. An interesting and utterly plausible perspective on the damnations of hugely successful creative partnerships.: please_allow_me_to_correct_a_few_things.1.html (http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/low_concept/2010/11/please_allow_me_to_correct_a_few_things.1.html)

I know, it's only rock and roll but I like it.
