The funny thing about the Stones is their (or maybe just Keith Richards')
ability to write catchy licks. For example, I was at NBA basketball game
recently. During a timeout. the PA started playing "Start Me Up".
The place was jumping even before Jagger's nasal whinings came on.
I think the Stones have consistently been able to produce these licks.
From "Satisfaction" through "Bitch" to "Start Me Up", that's some
talent that few groups can emulate.

To digress from intros to endings, a local DJ pointed out recently
that on quite a few of ZZ Tops songs, Billy Gibbons really gets
steaming just when the record starts to fade. The DJ inferred that
he knew Gibbons and that this teasing is deliberate. I've never
had the fortitude to stand in line for ZZ Top tickets, so I cannot
confirm that their live performances deliver on this come-on.

Any opinions?
