Pedantically it did exist. See [www.pewresearch.org] Those of us working in universities were beginning to hear about it.
I'll agree that the unprecedented release of the WWW into the public domain, which had the most astonishing impact, didn't take place until 1993.

My fault Keith shot his guitar

This story is so unusual (even unbelievable) that I have only told a few friends until now. It's my very favorite Stones story. I have no proof that it was me.
A couple years back someone on iorr.org posted a link to a guitar auction. The auction was for a guitar that Keith shot:
[gottahaverockandroll.com]
Here's where I come in:
Like a lot of us, I discovered the internet during the VL tour. The FIRST thing I did was to seek out other Stones fans. I joined Compuserve, alt.rock-n-roll.stones, and the Undercover mailing list. I think that was about all there was at first. No World Wide Web yet. Some of you were probably posting there, too. One of the first things I did was request for the Stones to put "Shine a Light" in the set list. As some of you may remember, Mick put the song into rotation because of an internet post. I don't recall anyone else requesting the song and I searched hard and long after reading why it made the set. Without that request, "Shine a Light" would probably never have made the set list, the LP/CD/Video would have been named something else, and the guitar probably would have been locked up in storage and it would still be in one piece today.
I claim the blame! Keith... I'm sorry you shot your guitar, please forgive me.
