    "You had it all the time, pal. You just didn't listen" The significance of what Keith said there can't be overstated.

    you gotta love Kieth. when he smiles his face lights up, but the final seconds when he says "why did you start it, how do you wanna finish it? that's the blues" you would not want to mess with him. his eyes are so "don't fuck with me."

      That’s true. But Brian founded the group, picked the members, did all the promoting and booking and “finances”, such as they were. (And, yes....he did give himself an extra 5 pounds a week, which was a sticking point for Mick and Keith, especially, for years.) And, of course, Brian chose the direction their music was going to go, and steered the band in that direction. Without him, Mick and Keith could very likely have ended up unknown outside of the London area....and, obviously, Mick and Keith were urged to write original material by manager Andrew Loog Oldham, and they were successful right from the beginning...the early days were good and exciting and Brian and Keith were especially close. Brian had the vision and the drive, but it took all 5 of them to make up the “Rollin’ Stones”, aka The Rolling Stones (after they went through a few early members, and after Ian Stewart was relegated to pianist/roadie/glue that stuck them all together).

    he now has arthritis in his knuckles. it won't stop his playing as it is on the first knuckle. only keith could get away with getting arthritis, and not have it affect his playing. it's probably been brought on with playing for nearly 60 years. when you think about it, playing a guitar makes you use your fingers in a way they aren't designed for.
