I think we outed the Cohen guy as a monstrous douchebag.

OK thanks. Saw the subject but didn't read the postings.

Surprised to read Vinyl not doing well. Michael Savage has been talking it up on his radio show. (I plan to check it out on Amazon Video at some point.) He's kinda schizo about the Stones, especially Mick. (Mick JAEGGER as he pronounces it.) On the one hand he thinks they are the most talented band ever, on the other hand he says when he watched Gimme Shelter the night before, they looked like 5 devils on stage.

5 devils? More like 5 little boys who found the matches, set the barn alight, and are worried Mom and Dad will notice. If they looked like 5 devils on stage that night then I look George Clooney.

To quote myself in another thread on this:

"Nine months holed up in Nellcote left both Richards and his wife, Anita Pallenberg, with an appetite for heroin that was nothing less than ravenous. She was pregnant with their second child."

And--

"Anita’s daughter Dandelion was miraculously born heroin-free."

WHAT? Yeah, that sounds pretty damn miraculous. Is that even possible?

In addition to that little tidbit, this Cohen sounds like he's really full of crap. Vinyl has been unsuccessful but has been renewed for another season? In what universe do they renew unsuccessful shows? HBO and other companies are even more ruthless than the Stones are accused of being. Yes, I know Mick Jagger's name is on it but come off it; this isn't the pre-2000s when that name was far more (in)famous. This is the 2010s, the era when Kanye West introduced Paul McCartney to his audience and they didn't know who that is. (Which didn't surprise me; what would Kanye's fans know about music?) Few of these same people would recognize Mick Jagger either. Get real.


Hope posting that again isn't spamming.
