both neil and mick are awesome performers. I don't deny it.
The point: why are either of those choices the only choices?
Neil is a poet but he lacks, in a certain sense, in some of his poetic lyrics because it sounds really good when you sing it, but later on you parse through it and it's like the addlings of a druggy in the throws of withdrawal . . . or just word pudding.
"the world is turning, hope it don't turn away." It sounds nice, but it's just observational nonsense.
As a philosopher, Neil is good.
As a guitar player, he is great.
as an angry Warlock? he's a bit nasty and not nice. LIke the whole deal with 'don't take a bath.'
dress in dirty clothes.
that's not good advice.
He's a musician. He's a warlock.
He's not a philosopher. I don't take life advice from him.
at least with Mick He doesn't give out snarling political advice and act like anyone who doesn't agree is an asshole.
Look, I saw Niel perform and it was amazing to me to see it. It was almost like a coven dance, Not really a bad thing, cause I think he means it well.
it was one of my favs, Down by the river.
so go hear him play, it's amazing.
but he's gotta be full of regrets. If he could have come out of it , from the drugs, early and cleaned up a generation, instead of making it a culty thing to be a junkie, and not telling that Seattle crowd "no do not do this!"
but he advised them well.
So he made some mistakes.
He's still got time, right.
but being an angry warlock is not a good thing.
