That video is so cool. Gets you thinking about Brian Jones and what would have happened had he survived his own turmoil.

It’s obvious that Mick knew early on that he had everyone in the palm of his hand. And he still does 50 years later. Go figure.

Cool, indeed! And so much talent lost and squandered... But let’s not go there tonight. :)

[a fool in paradise]

Mick Taylor is a prime example of a genius in a field who thought he could work by himself but instead found out he couldn’t so he ended up wasting 40 years of his life. There’s a lot of people like that. The Lamborghini don’t move without the gas and people like him always think the gas is coming but it ever does.

Nothing is certain in this life. The Rolling Stones didn't think they had 40 more years in what they were doing. 1981 was the "final" tour. And Ron Wood gets to be called a member of the band even though Bobby Keyes has been playing in the Stones far longer. Funny how that works. Bill Wyman left and doesn't seem to be regretting it.
