Last album was not original material, though. It proved they could still
play. But how strong is the songwriting? And Charlie was in top form on
Blue and Lonesome. I hope he's on most of the new tracks. For myself, I
don't think it's the Stones without that beat and swing. I mean, Jordan
is good, and Charlie approved of him and all, but Charlie was the pulse
of the Stones. Without your pulse, you're dead. Don't get me wrong, they
ought to play as long as they want to; but now they've flipped into
being like the Who is without Moon and Entwistle -- Townshend calls it a
celebration machine, and acknowledges that it's not quite the Who. It's
still the best we're going to get, and it's better than nothing, and if
they want to play and people want to see them then fine. But it's not
quite the Stones any more.
