"The Rolling Stones' keyboardist has carved out a new role as the Bush
administration's idea of the model conservationist."
Is this another Bush sellout? I always thought the Rolling Stones sounded like a dying cat in a hail storm pissing on a flat rock. Their popularity always amazed me. I have to admit, some of their songs are cool when someone else plays them.
PositiveCogins,
No, this is not a Bush sellout. These folks apparantly practice sound wildlife management practices, etc., on their property, and probably deserve the recognition.
What's wrong with that?
I know many conservationists, both Democrats and Republicans, who own large tracts of land and manage them for the betterment of wildlife, making life better for others.
As for taste in music, I think it depends a lot on what one was listening to when landmark events happened in their life experiences.
In a lot of mine, I was listening to the Stones.
Guess your line of thought on Rock and Roll music is in the miniority being the STONES sold out every venue in less than two hours and are adding more to the tour .BTW , WHO covers their music better than they do ??
Best Stones cover ever was Gimme Shelter by Sisters of Mercy.
