Hackney Diamonds did help me get into and "understand" where they were coming from with albums like Some Girls etc. Never used to like that side of The Stones, but I listened to that album a lot a few months back and totally got it. It tends to be associated with the start of their downfall, but I think they deserve more credit for their disco/funk-inspired material. It's genuinely funky while also still sounding totally Stonesy - sleazy and sloppy. Think it's all down to the push and pull between Mick (always wanting to incorporate new trends) and Keith (always wanting to remain true to their roots). The Stones have also always been interesting to me in that they can sound utterly amateurish (there are some soundboards from their '81 tour where they're under-rehearsed.. oof), but once they lock into a groove it's magic. Live By The Sword is great for exactly that reason imo. The song is not particularly special, but it's a perfect example of them finding a groove and taking off. Made me miss the Watts/Wyman rhythm section. Live By The Sword reminds me of the B52’s. |

Hear the sound of the drums” That sort of nonchalance attitude he has sometimes. |

Their more heavily gospel-influenced material is a bit hit and miss to me. I'm not a huge fan of a song like Shine A Light which is often praised, but on the other hand Let It Loose is among my favorite Stones songs. Imo Jagger's finest vocal on record. He doesn't have that type of power in his voice anymore, but the soul is still there. They've got Chanel Haynes on tour with them now and are performing Sweet Sounds in the encore. She definitely does the material justice. |

I did listen to Pink Floyd's The Wall yesterday but it got to heavy for me man. I don’t need no education, Vera and all that jazz. I was positively numb from it. Comfortably, I might add. I could never get into Floyd. I know they're a big favourite of russtcb, but they were always a bit too... serious?... for my liking. I mean, lighten up fellas, it's just a bit of fun, y'know?! Yep, I love nearly everything Pink Floyd has ever done. The Wall is my favorite album of all time and it's not even close Having said that, different strokes for different folks. I used to go around trying to get others into Floyd and now I just don't care who likes them and who doesn't lol. |

I used to go around trying to get others into Floyd and now I just don't care who likes them and who doesn't lol. I picture you in a mask and cape like Batman or Kick Ass going out in a Floydmobile late at night capturing criminals and random strangers, tying them up and shoving a pair of headphones on them and blasting Comfortably Numb! Random stranger: “Who are you? What are you?” Russ: “I’m Crazy Diamond motherfucka and you’re about to shine on!” Random stranger: “What??” Russ: “Vera, Vera, “what has become of you?” Random stranger: “You want money?? Take it! Take all my money!” Russ: “Money, get away. You get a good job with more pay and you’re okay….” Crazy Diamonds costume has the triangle from Dark Side of the Moon on the chest and the mask is a pig head from Animals. |

She definitely does the material justice. Woah I love her! She really brings something to the song. 🤩 Mick seems to have a lot of fun performing this one. “I said oh yeah!” Really like that Let It Loose. Thanks for sharing it. It has a ring of Handbags & Gladrags to it, and a hint of the Cheers theme tune. Really like it. Love that sort of loose blues bar piano. It’s a vibe. |

It's been a little over six years now and there's not a day that goes by I don't think about or miss you.
"If my voice could reach back through the past, I'd whisper in your ear, "Oh, darling, I wish you were here!""
I hurt you then, but I hurt myself far more in the long run. Honestly, I don't think I'll ever get over losing you.

Please note the below post is quite graphic, so if you're easily triggered, you may want to avoid.
Basically my sibling keeps trying to get close to me and I don't want to. We get on well and have lots in common, and I'm more than happy to spend time with him as part of a group of people. We also message back and fourth a lot and I enjoy our chats. But I don't trust spending time alone with him.
He's five years older than me and when we were younger and shared a bedroom he used to do sexual things to me. I was too young at the time to really know what was going on, although I do remember feeling like it was wrong.
Since then, I haven't wanted to spend time alone with him. Even though he's married with kids now, and I don't believe he'd ever do anything like that as an adult, I still feel very awkward if we're ever alone together. It has never been acknowledged or mentioned between us that this occurred between us as kids.
He keeps trying to make me feel bad when I back out of arrangements that he tries to organise to spend time together. I don't feel like I can ever tell him the real reason why and I think he just thinks I don't care to spend time with him.
I'm not sure what to do, whether I should just get over it, make myself spend 1-1 time with him or whether to keep him at arms length. Part of me thinks everyone deserves a second chance but then another part of me still feels uncomfortable when I'm alone with him.
Does anybody have any advice?

I do hope you get the help you need. I’ve looked towards Christianity recently as a way to address a certain emptiness that sometimes confronts me, but I really don’t intend to patronise or preach to you or anything of the sort, but staring into the lonely empty void can be quite the conundrum. Meet your brother somewhere neutral for a coffee. Hand him a letter with your dilemma and explain to him that you can’t get involved with him and have a relationship with your nieces/nephews, that you want more than anything, until the issue is resolved. That is your part. He will react one way or another. One way will find you in the same position you’re already in, and the other -hopefully the path he chooses- will help towards resolution. Apologies if I’m stating the obvious. |

In time, I'm sure I'll move forward, but I'll never really get over leaving you.
I miss you so much.

Apologies if I’m stating the obvious. I appreciate the reply and I wish I had the strength to do that. Deep down though, I know I could never bring it up to him. I don't know why, maybe I'm scared of the fallout, or part of me doesn't want to shame/embarass him. It's also difficult, because he was a kid at the time too really. I think I was about 9 and he was about 14, so yeah, I was the more vulnerable one, but still, both kids really. I guess I don't really know how to feel about it. All I know is, it stops me wanting to get too close. |
