Tell me, how would you expect a spoiled fucker like Mick Jagger and his band to deal with getting caught stealing his music? Wouldn't you expect some asshole with a business education, who became the pet of all the business assholes in the music business so his fame could outlast all the artists from his time, wouldn't you expect some totally detached star, who hasn't lived in the real world since Kennedy was shot, to ignore his wrongdoing and expect the whole crowd to go on loving him? And wouldn't you expect him to have the money to grease the palms of all his friends in broadcasting to keep his music in the schedule for him, where it can reach out and assault his fraud victim in the store where his music is playing? And you're supposed to think the Rolling Stones are still good because they're still on the radio. Does it work? It sure as hell doesn't work on me. I nearly have a stroke from having to hear his voice in music after his crimes with my music. They took more than Nothing but Ashes, by the way, which is a gorgeous song that has been utterly ruined by their molesting crime. They took 'just a few songs, mate.' I may not rewrite them before I die.
And do you think you're safer listening to their older songs? No fraud band is worth such a step. You can't trust them anymore. Where did they get their first round of hits? Who knows? But you can't trust them. In fact, from what I've learned, artists in their forties were much more vulnerable in the 1960's because they lacked modern copyright protection and the younger predator stars all knew it. And so did their predator managers, who are more like violent gangsters when they're showing their true colours. Since younger performers often covet the sophistication of an older artist's music, the climate would have been ripe for all kinds of violations back then. The poor, unprotected, older artists were helpless against false arrests and incarcerations at the hands of lying up-and-comers intent on stealing new music. But now they don't get away with such horrors for real, so they just try to get away with it in their imaginary broadcast bullshit world. They just take the song and lie about the artist they stole it from.
