I primarily disagreed with the part that they broke up "too soon". IMO, they broke up at just the right time. By 1970--drugs, Yoko, and their egos had taken an incredible toll on the Fab Four.

For all we know, if they had stayed together, we may very well have seen a substantial decrease in the quality of their music in any subsequent albums.

IMO, things worked out for the best.

On a personal level, I'm impressed that the Stones could stay together this long and not hate each others guts. But people need to face the hard truth--the Stones are only a skeleton of their former greatness.
