I don't know if this subject has been discussed before, but I recently read an interview (July 17, 2009) from a magazine named Uncovered. A guy named Ernie Cefalu sort of stated that he may have been (or was) the first one who designed the Rolling Stones Tongue & Lips logo, where officially John Pasche is named (and registered) as the original designer. What confuses me is that Pasche

Quotegeoffc In an interview in the Guardian, Ginger states: "If truth be known," he continues, "I was the Stones' first drummer.

QuoteMathijs I think it truly is a terrible show, but much of it is due to the sound quality. That just emphesizes each and every mistake by the guitarists, and focusses too much on Chuck.

Quoteotonneau If the guitars were that strong, I wonder why the show was disregarded for 4flicks? I think it is clear from Jagger's performance that he has in mind the fact that it is being recorded for potential release - that's when he cracks his voice rather than wisely save it for next time. At Olympia, I think he is simply not in such good form, but the overall performance being

I would say "Hey Mick, don't worry too much about the ticket prices.
