When we were kids there was this very cool guy down the street that would always play the album LET IT BLEED real loud in his house with all his windows open. His name was JAKE. He played it Day and Night.

Let me add that JAKE also went to both 1969 LA Forum shows (early and late) and got himself down on the floor very close to the stage (I even believe he caught some rose pedals when Jagger threw them out during STREET FIGHTING MAN.) This made JAKE the coolest x 100. When "LIVEr THAN YOU'LL EVER BE" came out he would play that super loud for the whole neighborhood to hear - over and over. A True Blue Stones fan.....Your thoughts on JAKE.....

Typical Reed College Student: "There's this very cool guy down the hall that always plays the album TATTOO YOU real loud in his dorm room. His name is Nikkibong."

Were you guys like 12 years old and he around 45? Did he also close the windows at times when he had his camera out? He was known to wear a tan raincoat and smoke unfiltered cigs. Lived on a steady diet of Ramen noodles and had a skin ailment. My, my what a crusty ole codger.
Good taste in music though...

I was just sifting through the No Child Left Behind act and I was quite impressed by the work and insights of George W. Bush and his hard working staff. That's a significant piece of legislation that's working. Schools that succeed have got parents who are involved at the school. Reading is the gateway to educational excellence. Supplemental service money means if a child is falling behind, the school gets extra money from the federal government to help the kid catch up. If a child needs help in reading, they've diagnosed a problem early and said, let's make sure this child is not left behind. The No Child Left Behind Act has said that in return for federal money, children will be tested in grades 3 through 8 and this'll allow us to figure out whether or not kids are learning. It's an interesting way to determine whether or not the curriculum you're using works. God bless America and pres George W. Bush.

What I really meant to say was that this Jake dude had an exquisite taste in music.

I THINK JAKE DIDDLED IN YOUR MIDDLED AND YOU ARE CONFUSED BY ALL OF THIS.....

No child left behind = teachers being forced to teach to a test = unsound education methodology = a nation of Bush clones = ? I am sure you can guess

let it bleed was the first ever music I bought. unless you count a cassette of the Cult's greatest hits that I bought. ( , shes coming close now. oh I can feel her shake shake shake shake it FIIIIIIIRRRRRREEEEEE smoke on the Horizon, FIRE !!!! somke stack lightning. fire woman your to blame! ) which I guess you could. I blame her. But let it bleed was the first album I bought. the first CD. it was actually pretty late in life I was 19. thats pretty old to have never bought a CD beofre. I would play it over and over again. I think i borrowed hot rocks from my college roomate before I got let it bleed and then he wanted it back. then after let it bleed i bought hot rocks. then I I got exile and then sticky fingers then Beggars Banquet, then some girls, then tatoo you, then Ya Ya's, then through the past darkly then aftermath, then englands newest hit makers, then I think Black N Blue then after that they all kind of blur together. I dont remember when I got what after that except I know ABB was the last stones CD I bought.

when I first started listening to the stones, before I got CDs. I just recorded it off the radio.

I actually owned a good bit of Stones albums before I got LIB. I knew "Gimme Shelter" very well, but I had it on a vinyl 45 by Grand Funk railroad. I was a little kid and I LOVED the song. Then I heard the Stones version that my sister had. I was very confused. All the subtleties of the song, the whole Merry Clayton bit, the way Jagger sung it was way over my head. GFR did it in a very boorish way and as a brat I liked it more. So I thought LIB was not going to be for me. I only liked loud and hard. I also had the Rambler on Ya-Ya's and the LIB version was s odifferent. Live wth me too. Had some growing to do. Jake helped me...

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

yeah, I lot of the great albums grew on me over a period of time. But let it bleed I istantly liked. Im not a sound expert at all, but one of the things I liked was that I thought the sound mix was really good.

I agree, Let It Bleed has a great sound to it, no doubt......

Jake..........rose pedals............Mick.............I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that they were probably lovers...and that Keith has been jealous ever since............

when i was young, this dude in the neighborhood, Fred, always played "you're pretty face is going to hell" by Iggy & the Stooges at top volume for all to hear.......now, i'm a former junkie, divorced 5 times, who's living in a car down by the river

Leonard - Are you kidding about the divorced 5 times bit?

Well the car bit is on the OK side but were you REALLY by the river Leonard? See, that's the horribly painful part of it.....the laughter never stops....

phewwwww! I just had to check just in case. I know you are engaged, and if you had already been divorced 5 times, I was going to have to fly out there and smack some sense into you.

After the edit: jake is a man's man.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

This is how cool JAKE was...he took some acid one day and was bending over to inhale some petrol/gas for an extra kick ... he turned his head facing back and he saw red arrows flying out of his ass.... How many have had this unique experience? JAKE went to places most had never been....

Hey Mick, that's not cool, that's crazy! Inhaling gas? WTF I hereby revoke my short-lived admiration for him.

Yeah, we'll I'm kind of a rebel when it comes to stuff like that ;-) As for hubby... if we were still together, perhaps he'd like it, but lucky for me, we're not!

You're a single mom? I thought you had a new husband and an ex? that's not how it is?

You know, I'm a bit sad now CindyC, what you need is a man to lay next to you and wrap you up in his arms, kinda cuddle, and let you know EVERYTHINGS gonna be alright. Just feel each other's warmth in a darkened room, just quietness all around, knowing it's all OK....I think you deserrve that in fact....

Ahhh, where's my Cindy Windy, I was just getting into the wuv talk-i-poo.....
