Think We Will Get New Rolling Stones Music?

The COVID-19 lockdowns continue... things are boring at my house! I did pick up my weekly takeout from my favorite local Mexican place for lunch. In Ohio, we are now allowed to purchase two alcoholic drinks "to go" as well. That is huge because we have very strict "open container" laws. So I did enjoy a margarita with my bean burrito!

Elsewhere around the globe, musicians are doing their collective thing... and Mick Jagger tells us he is rehearsing while in isolation. Do you think he is working on new tunes, too? What if we get a huge influx of new music out of this whole nightmare? What a silver lining that would be, right?!

Rehearsing in isolation! Have a great weekend and happy Easter. pic.twitter.com/5byL2Fq4YI

Jeebus! That old (76) fellow is in great shape!!! Even if he did the Bett Midler thing and was photographed "At A (Social) Distance." Good for him, keeping busy.

I only wish, and you can file this in the "sorta' like Aerosmith" category, that the Stones had released something really captivating recently. "Love is Strong" is the last Stones song I sorta' dug . . . and that was in 1994. And, sure, that song is all about the Glimmer Twins. But I have to think Mr. Was had something to do with it too. So why weren't _Bridges to Babylon_ and _A Bigger Bang_ better then? _Blue & Lonesome doesn't really count, as that was a covers' album (and cool enough, given their respectful nods to Dixon, Wolf, Slim, and others).

Not complaining really. Heck, I still like Deep Purple. So I shouldn't be throwing stones, rolling or otherwise. I just wish they were a bit more feisty in their golden years. Maybe they need to start putting brown sugar back in their coffee, decaf or otherwise. It's unrefined, sure. But it suits them.

Now, I am going to go listen to Michael Bolton sing about Jack Sparrow. It is kinda' related.

The Stones were supposedly going to be putting out an all originals old school blues album, that was reported early last year or so. Never heard what came of that project. Just give me another Tattoo You, one of the greatest rock albums of all time. I'll take anything right now. This social distancing and everything closed up BS is killing me.
