I was driving in my car in north-spain, when "love is strong" was played on the radio. i really loved that song immediatly, and the album was a company for a long, hot, strange summer. it is no "sticky fingers", but the recording sounded like a band together in the studio, mick and keith writing together, and the boys having fun - no "dirty work". the album sho

Dear friends, my mother is lying on her deadbed, I am listening to "goats head soup". She is 80 years old and suffering from Alzhzeimer. There is my granddaughter. I told my daughter, that one life appeared, and another one vanishes. Life is like this. Love the ones you are with!

Boston 93 is my favourite Winos DVD - a well oiled band firing on all cylinders. I always wondered what had happened in Koelln. The concert is good too, but Keith was not very amused. Maybe he was not happy with the crowd, that seemed to expect a kind of Stones-greatest-hits-set.

Wasn`t it released on a Deluxe release? I have it on Bootleg. Surely not a classic, but not so bad, compared with some later Stones Songs I think.

Vanity died in february this year of kidney failure, possibly a result of her crack and alcohol addiction in the 90ies. Prince and she were in love for a while in the 80ies and he wrote some songs about her then (and created the group Vanity 6). She was 57 too when she died. Sad. Sometimes it snows in April...

Uschi looks very good for her age, but she admits, that some restauration has been done. Her newn teeth are much better done than Keith's, I think. In the 70's her partner Dieter Bockhorn run the famous "Cafe Adler" in Hamburg. When I was 14, 15 years old, I used to hang around there a lot - it was a very fascinating scene there for a small-town-boy like me. In the movie

She is 14. Her english is not very good -she's german. So she has no idea what Rihanna is talking about. Me neither btw, because I never listened to it with interest. I will next time.. She chose the tune, because it's good to dance to. Usually she is into Slipknot, Billy Talent, Bullets for my Valentine and German fun Punk. When she was 10 she liked the Ramones and Kiss - so the

I am 46 now and knew the Rolling Stones since my childhood, when they were played often on the radio, but they were only one band among many for me. In the mid-eighties - relatively late - I became a die-hard-fan, and so "Steel Wheels" was their first album for me, that I listened to with interest, when it really came out. The first time I heard it, was when it was played entire (!) o
