“[Mick] Jagger was preposterous and admirable, as always: these days, he always seems like he’s filming a workout tape.”
Ben Freeman reviewing the HBO broadcast of the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Concert.
“Fergie, who had started at the back of the stage, on a riser, in a sinuous Kali-like pose, ended up in a cock-and-hen mating dance with Jagger, which wouldn’t have been a problem except for the fact that it flew in the face of context, decency, and history.”
Apparently, according to Freeman, they messed up “Gimme Shelter,” surely a capital offense. Go read his commentary; rock music criticism at its very finest.
