This is a great read. Whether Mick Jagger wrote it, or the story about him sending it is true – who knows? Whoever wrote it it’s compelling and believable.
I see it’s dated 2010 – has anyone seen it before? Maybe we have discussed this before? I think I’d remember though.

The Rolling Stones became a mega corporation in 1971. Their last decent album was Some Girls in 1978 and their last great tracks were on Tattoo You in 1981, Start Me Up and Waiting For A Friend. Have they released anything worth a candle since (and I don’t mean live recordings)?
The Everly Brothers documentary shown this week on BBC 4 was simply amazing.
