QuoteBoognish Mick asks John "Do you remember that old place off Broadway?" What is he referring to? Is there a story there or was Mick just making shit up? It may have been Andy Warhol's The Factory, an old place in Greenwich Village, off-Broadway (?). Both Mick and John visited the place several years before 1968. I only don't know if they were there at the same time, b

QuoteStoneage I think the real question is whether 60-70's acts like Macca, The Stones, Elton and Rod will stop touring. I guess many are afraid of that. I think that they will continue as long there is money to be made from it. And why not. I don't think Charlie will tour in his 80's though. There is an end to everything. Off course there is an end to everything (except our an

I think that those who heard "Satisfaction" soon after its release in 1965 (for me, European, this was in August) could and would be aware of the impact of the song at the time. For one thing, it knocked Help (from their friends The Beatles) off from the nummer one position in numereus countries. The lyrics were "shocking", the beat was intoxicating, it was rough, heavy, but e

Quotebakersfield I love 'Living in a Ghost Town'. It has the three ingredients essential to any good rock song - rhythm, tension and energy.

Bad news. My Stones friend John, who saw the Pretty Things in their early days and spoke with some of them (D.T.) will be very unhappy. I remember in interviews with Phil, talking about the very early embryo Stones days, often meeting with Brian, Keith and Mick. Higly interesting stories. Commiserations to his family and band mates. RIP Phil.
