1) paraphrasing a similar quote from Linda Ronstadt, about her time hanging out with Mick: He's as good as they say, and as bad. Its like he's always offering you a beautiful red apple, and even though you know its slightly poisoned, you take it anyway 2) So i've been thinking a bit more about the beautiful red apple Mick gave us a few years back, the Fully Finished Outtakes, and now I know why 3) he was testing the market, to see if fans these days preferred the half i went crazy over, the brilliant but very different stuff they kept in the can in the 80s 90s because it wasn't commercial enough, or the other half, the familiar but second-rate songs 4) and judging by what i read on the various fan forums, the clear winner was the second- rate classic-sounding tracks 5) So they gave the people what they wanted, the shiny waxed apple of Hackney Diamonds. Don't mind the maggots.
