Quoterumple21 So young white-boy Michael J Fox invented the Chuck Berry sound ... oh dear issues issues issues! That's a bit unfair. The whole scene in the movie is tongue in cheek and in no way detracts any credit from Chuck Berry's. Fox no more "invents" the Chuck Berry sound than The Rolling Stones (or The Beatles) did when they covered the songs. Every time I see

QuoteAquamarine Surprised to see first reactions being responses to the support acts (who cares, to be honest? I don't think there are any opening bands at most of the Europe gigs, which is fine with me). You've got all the gigs rescheduled plus two new ones, surely that's great news? Stadium shows don't have support acts. The anxiety is over the longer outdoor shows.

Worth noting that the interview referred to in the immediately previous posting (Brian Jones/KRLA) is from this remarkable archive It's scanned and searcheable copies of a 1960's pop newspaper from California, and once you start reading you'll be hooked! Lots of Stones in there...
