Are the Rolling Stones spats a good thing? Maybe…

Speaking with the New York Post, longtime [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Rolling Stones[/lastfm] keyboardist [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Chuck Leavell [/lastfm]said the lifelong tension between [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Mick Jagger[/lastfm] and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Keith Richards[/lastfm] is actually good for the band.

“If it was all flowers and kisses, then I think it would be boring,” said Leavell, who added that the rancor between the Glimmer Twins is nothing more than “healthy tension.”
