About Dodd
Dodd, who used to run a blog named ipse dixit, is an attorney, a veteran of the United States Navy, and a fairly good poker player. He can kill a mime using only his thumb.
He joined the staff at OTB in May 2007. Follow Dodd on Twitter.
Over the last 10 years, making concessions to advancing age, the Stones have adopted a tri-set: Stadium, Arena and Halls. The song sets are different for each, and I suspect they can basically play forever if they want to and throttle down to Hall sets. And I suspect those will gravitate to very ballad and bluesy heavy set lists. Roots. Good bye Satisfaction?
The problem with ZZ is that I just can’t see them pulling off anything rather than full throttle R&R. Hence the problem with this milk toast version of TSB.
Just a thought.
