suites Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Just saw them in Philly. Just one word "AMAZING". Blown away. Been to hundreds of shows and have to say I thought they sounded pretty much perfect. Took my 20 year old and just think they have been doing it for 30 years more than his age.

Plumplechook Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Keith Richards absolutely butchering the opening riff to Start Me Up at their Hyde Park concert on Saturday. I know Ronnie is covering a lot for Keith these days - but this is just awful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_CtY_Ix5cQ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I got this book recently: 50 Years The Rolling Stones - 1967 - 1971: Essential anthology on The Rolling Stones and Rock'n'Roll historyby Hanspeter Künzle At first I thought it was simply the writer commenting on the time period, with press clippings included. It seemed to be mostly stuff I have heard about many times over the years. But, there is a really long interview with Keith towards the end that makes it worthwhile.

Lammycat Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 This is solid. Todd Snider was asked to write a column on a songwriting hero and he delivered this free-verse poem: http://www.americansongwriter.com/2014/05/todd-snider-mick-jagger/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I heard on the Elizabeth Cook XM show that Snider has a book out too ---- have you read it Lammy? She recited at story of him meeting a fellow songwriter who wrote a song called Beer Run, too - it was a pretty funny account. (Need to the above link when I get home) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Need to the above link when I get home)I got it off Amazon when it recently came out but gave it to my ex to read before I got to it. That "Beer Run" story he does live sometimes, too. In fact, most of the stories in the book are part of (at various times/shows) his live act.....Funny shit when heard live, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 This is solid. Todd Snider was asked to write a column on a songwriting hero and he delivered this free-verse poem: http://www.americansongwriter.com/2014/05/todd-snider-mick-jagger/ Fuck yeah! Great piece of writing. I could've kept reading on and on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Read Snider's piece --- definitely a good one. Searching for some Stones music on the interwebs, I came across The Rolling Stones Radio hour --- looking over the show logs, some of it looks pretty cool. http://www.prx.org/series/5107-rolling-stones-radio-hour Listening to a show on the New Barbarians, now.http://www.prx.org/pieces/116156-rolling-stones-radio-hour-barbarians Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Todd Snider was asked to write a column on a songwriting hero and he delivered this free-verse poem: http://www.americansongwriter.com/2014/05/todd-snider-mick-jagger/That was awesome - thanks for sharing. One question - does Mick ask if he could stick his PEN or his PIN in his heart? I always thought PEN. (TS says PIN at the end of the Ode) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I always thought it was a "if I could stick a knife in my heart, suicide right on stage." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Um... Todd, maybe you arent familiar with "Lets Work". It doesnt happen much but that was a big swing and a miss by Mick. Carry on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carry on.What's that - Royal Flush?? Well ain't that a bust, I'm broke! I always thought it was a "if I could stick a knife in my heart, suicide right on stage."That's correct, but those words are farther on in the song. First line in the song is: "If I could stick my pen/(pin?) in my heart, and spill it all over the stage..." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Oh yeah! Almost positive it's "pen" not "pin". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Well according to Wiki it's "Pen" and of course that is the definitive word. But Really, Pen just makes sense, Pin does not. That Snider piece is amazing. Love the part about Dylan and Richards going "way out of their way to make sureeverybody knows how little they care. Jagger just doesn't."

Lammycat Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Love the part about Dylan and Richards going "way out of their way to make sureeverybody knows how little they care. Jagger just doesn't."Woke up this morning thinking about these lines.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Heard that Bobby Keys passed away today - read that he was ill a few months ago. He definitely found his niche within the Stones, it's amazing that he lasted so long within the origination, I guess it had a lot to do with his relationship with Keith.He was a good player, though - too.

NoJ Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Yeah, I really liked Bobby playing with the Stones. RIP Bobby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hixter Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I think he met the Stones here in San Antonio 45 years ago. Rest in peace, Texan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Listening to the Let it Bleed record again this evening, so I could listen to Keys on Live with Me -- my favorite solo of his on a Stones song. What a great record. Nice obit from the NY Times http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/03/arts/music/bobby-keys-saxophonist-for-rolling-stones-dies-at-70-.html?_r=0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
