[quote author=Steel Wheels link=1267023633/1200#1214 date=1273577151]I'm sure the Taj performance was perfect. I'll catch it online. I will not tune in to this infomercial again unless Mick and Keef are on it. It felt forced to me, especially the Lick Something for 10 Bucks game with a Stones theme. The Roots houseband cannot play music well. Jimmy seemed uncomfortable so I turned the thing off. The ratings on Jimmy's show are so low to begin with. No one watches it. quote]
Been out of the loop and forgot it was this week. Steel, I've had the same reservations about the promotional stuff, particularly the Fallon stuff. I know he's in awe of the Stones, but still. I'll catch the performances on youtube. Exile is the bible to me, and while I'm ecstatic that Exile is finally being taken out of the basement and into the mainsteam, the light, so to speak, and equally ecstatic that the Stones, and Mick especially, is paying tribute to that time......but the Target connection, the Fallon show which, as you pointed out, no one watches anyway, is overkill. I'll enjoy the performances and all, but I just hope this doesn't backfire - You know, the 'Exile on Main Street is overrated...' Debbie-downers etc.... because that will surely come. I've always dreamed of people discovering this album and a young generation rediscovering the Stones at their peak. But overkill is a possibility.
