These musicians don’t ride public transit and certainly are not “front line” workers, nor are they called to fill-in on their days off. They are, however, able to perform via social media.

I can understand selling or trading in CDs by any artist, because I prefer the sound of analogue-to-analogue, especially vinyl recorded before the digital era. I wouldn’t let go of, for example, the amazing interplay of Brian and Keith on “ 19th Nervous Breakdown”, nor John and George on “And Your Bird Can Sing”.

Mr. Gutfeld attended UC Berkeley in the mid eighties and said that it influenced his political outlook.

Re: Hyde Park ‘69 version of Johnny Winter’s “I’m Yours And I’m Hers”. The Stones must have realized that covering this song in a respectful manner was a huge undertaking. So, given that the original is in A, the band artfully seizes upon the nearest key,G, which Keith can manage quite well in open tuning. They begin with Johnny’s signature lick; the intro is now the instrumental “b-part”, and aw
