is the one who, famously, back about 40 years ago, replied to the sobriquet about greatness that had come to be an unofficial nickname for his group and observed: “On any given night, it’s a different band that’s the greatest rock ‘n’ roll band in the world.” This is undoubtedly true, and on Thursday evening, given a God’s-eye-view of all the music being made in the world that night, the honor might belonged to some bar band playing in Kansas City.

There’s no hubris like fan hubris, but if you’d been there Thursday night, you would have felt it slippin’ away. And part of that had to do with the new guy. It may seem sacrilegious to Charlie to say that there was anything cool about hearing the Stones march to a different drummer for the first time in history — OK, ita sacrilege — but if you’re really a music buff, you’d be insanely incurious not to wonder what happens when a beloved and insoluble dynamic gets changed up by will or fate.

Jagger is probably at his most honest when he’s sharing some snark with the audience, as he did when the subject of Paul McCartney very briefly arose. McCartney, as most fans may know, managed to revive the Beatles/Stones rivalry this week — something that’s not easy to do in 2021 — when he was quoted in the New Yorker as saying of the Stones, “I’m not sure I should say it, but they’re a blues cover band, that’s sort of what the Stones are. … I think our net was cast a bit wider than theirs.

Mick Jagger Gets Snarky About Paul McCartney’s ‘Blues Cover Band’ Dig at Stones’ L.A. ShowAt the first of two Los Angeles-area concerts Thursday, Mick Jagger reeled off a list of celebrities, real and imagined, whom he said were attending the Rolling Stones’ opening night at SoFi … 'I was always very respectful about Mick and the Stones, but he said a lot of sort of tarty things about The Beatles, which I am hurt by, because you know, I can knock the Beatles, but don't let Mick Jagger knock them.” John Lennon The undercurrent I believe is MickJagger, former LSEEcon student, is envious PaulMcCartney is more financially successful than he, hence touring even when the “Stones” are down to only 2 original members. I believe a Mick and officialKeef blues hour w/be far more interesting. Waiting outside for hours in Ann Arbor in December was no problem bc we got in to see John Lennon perform “Ten For Two,” his anthem to Free John Sinclair! Lennon was always exciting! Surprising! Paul was pretty and wrote very pleasant songs.
