Keith worked double? Damn, that means he played BOTH chords that night...! And that one bent note solo Keith has been working to death for the last 4 years musta made his OTHER finger sore. My point being - if Ronnie goes, then Keith has got to go too. They both just pose. That's it. Ronnie got together with Rod for unplugged and tore it up. (Don't anyone tell me that that's because it was ACOUSTIC! - A geetar is a geetar) I think Ronnie has been held back in the Stones just like Mick T. was. How many times have we seen a Jagger/Richards/Wood composition? Or better yet a Jagger/Wood, Richards/Wood or just a Wood/Wood? Ronnie's had fun, got a big ass paycheck, done lots of drugs, seen the world a gazillion times, met a tremendous amount of people etc. He's a perfect fit for Mick and Keith and Charlie. Maybe not for all of us, but for the STONES he is. He's there for reasons that may not be completely apparent to us. Mick T. is gone and has stayed gone for reasons too. Keith and Mick T. were never friends like Keith and Ronnie are. That's the clincher.
