QuoteDoomandGloom With a few weeks to digest what we witnessed I can't help but become less critical of the Stones performances and begin to place those nights in historical perspective. In a way the anniversary celebration can only be compared to The Beatles goodbye some 40 years ago and I'd say The Stones did pretty darn good with their farewell which I hope continues for a decade...

Neither. Macca beats them both by a mile in a scene filmed for his 1984 movie Give My Regards To Broad Street, where he is filmed actually busking in front of a London train station--and no one recognizes him! Here's the story behind that scene and what Paul thought about not being recognized in public, with a guitar and singing perhaps his most famous tune no less. Paul McCartney

In two more days it will be exactly 50 years since Charlie played his first gig as a Rollin' Stone. So when did they become The Rolling Stones? I don't remember that one.

I read somewhere that The Stones front line dropped acid before a show as late as 1977. One of those many Stones books/bios, so probably not that reliable. The trouble with LSD is that it's laboratory synthesized and the paper it's blotted on may contain chemicals that can lead to bad trips . Unlike our 60s forbearers, we often don't have access to the pure liquid form they used

Nothing speaks to the lazy tone of a sizzling summer night quite like Can't You Hear Me Knocking, especially Mick Taylor's jazzy playout. So, therefore, Sticky Fingers.

For this choice, I will have to pick a cover: Little Red Rooster. A defining moment for The Stones. In taking pure rhythm and blues to the top of the charts in Britain, they did what no other recording artist before--and, I believe, since--managed to accomplish. The Stones established their reputation through their interpretation of the blues, and this track is as authentic an interpretatio

Wouldn't a simple across-the-board remastering of his back catalog solve the problem of copyright extension? Has his catalog ever been remastered? It would be a sweet payday for him, as well as a treat for fans. All the ABKCO remasters, for instance, have 2002 as the copyright date. It could be that ABKCO had this in mind to keep their rights to the catalog from slipping into the public d

You could say that Undercover Of The Night is the last classic The Stones came up with, though a lot of people like to stop with Start Me Up--which accounts for UOTN's being underrated. Start Me Up was The Stones in the 70s, but UOTN is a great example of The Stones in the 80s--their first, and perhaps their only, example of greatness in the 80s. And, of course, unlike Start Me Up, people wi
