Gina Arnold wants it both ways: according to her, the Stones emerge winners vs. the Beatles, but asks why are Mick and Keith still alive? This is not lucid, but instead childish.
No mention of the obvious either: the Beatles never made a bad album. The Stones have made plenty.
The comparison between the two bands was historically invented and perpetuated by hack journalists, and ultimately was meaningless. They played in largely different styles througout.
