"Happy" – 4:23
[Save link]
Keith steps out into the spotlight here, due probably to Mick's missingness at the "studio" in France. I'll probably have to make a separate post just to discuss the shenanigans at Nellcote, so look for that. "Happy" is another one of those songs that nobody seems to like except me.

This is some serious dedication to one of the greatest bands in the World. I take my hat off to you fella for wanting to undertake such a thing. I shall be readoing this blog from start to finish when I get time. A worthy cause if ever there was one. Do you like other bands too?
Holy shit, it's been a month! I really have to get back to this. This week, I promise: the rest of the greatest album ever, proceeding to the inevitable 35-year decline.
