Ex-Mayor of New York, Ed Koch, died last week and the WSJ today wrote about the state of New York City when he came on the scene. Mick Jagger has said it was that broken-down New York that SHATTERED was about. "Don't you know the crime rate's going up, up, up, up, up! To live in this town you must be tough, tough, tough, tough, tough!" Here's the NYC of SHATTERED i

Great song of peripeteia that I saw the Stones do live at the Joint in Vegas when it had only an 1,100 capacity, the perfect intimate setting for an intimate song and I was in heaven.

Reminiscent of Nik Cohn's 1969 allocution (that Bill used in his book Rolling with the Stones): “If the Rolling Stones had any sense of neatness, they’ll get themselves killed in an aircrash three days before their 30th birthdays.”

Seeing above no attempt to discern the last couple lines, here’s my take: “You better watch out now, You’re smashing dishes on the floor.” The song is reminiscent to me of IT MUST BE HELL. (In the background next to the intaglio screen I’m glad to see Mick hung my self-portrait I sent him.) Subject: Trump?/Leftist rioters?/Deveraux in need of a nap?

Nicky Hopkins on confreres: "The first time I worked with John was in 1968, when I played electric piano on `Revolution.' He was real pleased with the way things went and told me there'd be a lot more sessions he'd be inviting me to.

Mick wearing a mask there is an almost inadvertent nod to Siena's history. As beautiful as is its cathedral (and I've been in it and it's beautiful in and out) what's built was supposed to have been just its facade (facciatone), with a grand building to be built behind it to compete with Florence's cathedral.

Paul later said, “I thought, `We just broke up, why get back together so soon?’” After Yoko kept John back because she wouldn’t be on stage, Allen Klein later said something like, “I knew then who wore the pants in that family.” The helping the canaille was less important than her ego. A Yoko biography I read said that, when she was a kid in Japan, her class would put on plays. And Yoko wou

The day Garcia died I grabbed off a library shelf an obscure book whose subject was as far away from the Grateful Dead as you could get—medieval architecture I think—and someone had left inside it a ticket stub to a Grateful Dead show.
