"Meaningful litigation": how about their rhythm section leaving them? Even Charlie Watts had enough of rephrasing the same riffs stolen from Robert Johnson et alia a long time ago, and of a singer which has never learned to sing for s**t, but is a miracle worker on charisma (and finances).
So much for silly. On Da P'leece and yet another resurrection, I think we thoroughly and dispassionately agree
Bill Wyman is the one who left (without litigation)...
Charlie is still playing along to the stolen riffs.
I love the Stones so I cannot form a unbiased argument...I have to leave them to that.
But you are right.
We agree on The Police!
