Two Takes on the Same Theme

The late great Maggie Estep.



And The Rolling Stones.



As good as the Stones song is, it lacks that "I'm doing circus tricks with forks."

BTW, I'm not sure why Estep's death -- she died on Sunday at the ridiculously young age of 50 -- has hit me so hard.

But it has. Damn.

    Now I'm happy too. I never knew about Maggie, but I think I've heard of Mick Taylor.

    Keith was a great singer. I always thought it was a mistake when they started having backup singers to sing the harmonies rather than him doing it.

    Jai Guru Dave - consider the possibility that Keith's singing voice is as shot as the rest of his body.

    They went to backup singers pretty early on.
    But maybe his voice went pretty early. I don't know.
