How does he hear Mick saying "burst" when he clearly says "busted"?
A bit off kilter of an article. First he says that "The Dead played the key role in bringing the Angels to Altamont" but then he says that Belli is "the one who made the last-minute deal to move the festival to the speedway, the decision that guaranteed the show couldn’t fail to be a disaster."
That's a bit of a stretch. The Hells Angels are why it was a disaster, not the location. Keith: "Looking back I don’t think it was a good idea to have Hell’s Angels there. But we had them at the suggestion of the Grateful Dead."
Rock Scully should've stayed off the acid. That guy sounded like an idiot. “The Stones, man,” he says, “they wrote the script. They got what they paid for. Let it bleed, man. There’s never gonna be another one like it. Anybody should have seen this would have happened — this whole trip, man — if somebody tried to buy another Woodstock. We should have seen it, but we couldn’t see that.”
Pretty convenient to say after the fact. What a tosser.
Rolling Stone's 1970 article by John Burks about the movie, which the Keith quote is from, claims that the Stones were playing Sympathy For The Devil when Hunter got stabbed.
