Since when do you need musical eclecticism to be able to write good songs.

That's not to say the Stones didn't have any considering if you actually listen to their stuff rather than just a few overplayed hits you could hear anything from Rock n Roll, R&B, Garage Rock, Pop, Country, Soul, Funk, Blues, Disco, Gospel, Psychadelia and even Reggae.
Good songs, not amazing songs like they're given credit for. I'd never consider the Stones a bad band, I just don't know why exactly they're put on a pedestal above the thousands of other blues rock bands doing the exact same thing. I've never seen them doing it all that much better.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
Al Pacino = God
