I would not have bothered to watch the video had I not come across the comments here. I don't expect the Stones to have much to offer at this point. They were great at Earl's Court in 1976 (and I was at an age where having sweaty teenage girls crawl over me to get to Jagger was a delight. Come to think of it, I might still be that age).

The thing is, if you're a White American Guy in his '60s or '70s, you kind of DO have to watch the video.

I mean, I'm not gonna watch the video for the first single from the first Stones album of new material since 2005?  Not bloody likely.

That's not their problem; that's your's.

Let do a better one.  Let's say the Frenchette guys open another restaurant.  But, although it charges Frenchette/Le Rock prices, it's no better, in terms of ingredients, execution, and service, than the NYC Le Relais de Venise L'Entrecôte was -- and instead of looking like a cafeteria as Relais did, it looks like a very cheesy overdecorated Vegas dining room.  I'm a fan of the Frenchette guys -- even though I don't think Le Rock is worth a trip, it doesn't miss in a way that pisses me off -- so I'm gonna feel like I want to try the new place, right?  So it's MY fault, when I go there, that it turns out to be a cynical cash grab?  And I can't complain about it cuz it was MY CHOICE to go there?

How much have you spent, other than the 4 or 5 minutes (and the ensuing hours posting about it here) to watch it, for the new Stones' song? Cynical cash grab? How much of your cash have they grabbed?

Now - if you're gonna buy the album, after how much you loathe the first song/video you've heard/seen from it, that's on you.

Now let's say Wells writes a review about the Frenchette guys' hypothetical new restaurant, before you've been.  Let's additionally say he writes:  "Anyone, especially @Sneakeater, would be an idiot to spend money here."  But because you are "a fan of the Frenchette guys"  you go,  and hate it. That's on you.
