  1. I think the Stones were doing something different.   They were like an ironic art project, where their awareness of the distance between what they were capable of and what their (patently superior) models were capable of was where the art reposed.  (Compare the recent Springsteen covers album, which as far as I’m concerned has no excuse for existing when the hugely superior originals are available.) (And wouldn’t you know it, most of the originals are by Black artists.  Wonder why Springsteen’s Rockist audience doesn’t listen to them?)

  2. To be clear, I don't focus on the imminence of death.

    But it's clearly in my consciousness.

    For example, after a friend had mentioned it, I recently decided -- in all innocence,  I thought -- to reread Dante's Commedia.

    As soon as I started reading, I thought, this can't have just come from out of the blue.
