The Rolling Stones' recorded legacy is unfortunately similar to that of many other rock stars of the 1960s -- a great burst of creativity that tapers off into a stretch (eventually decades long) of unremarkable (and sometimes downright awful) recorded work.

Bill Wyman the Rolling Stone wasn't born Bill Wyman. . . . His real name, Stones fans know, is William George Perks.
