Remember when Keef was described as the worlds most elegantly wasted being?.....

I just hope that he actually enjoyed himself getting that way......Bless 'im....

 

[Fat Freddy]

I’ve wondered about this. Never tried it.

I'd give it a go.....NOT on one of my own albums though.....Naturally....

Keith was actually fairly good looking in his younger days. Mick should thank his lucky stars he can "sing"*, otherwise he'd never get any...uh...satisfaction. Yeah, that's it.
*as y'all might guess I'm not a big Stones fan. Sorry.

Everyone looks better than Mick, which seems to me the entire point. To my memory ... when The Rolling Stones and The Beatles held the main spotlights ~64-66, the Stones were the mean and ugly ones. Boys wanted to perfect the Mick "sneer".

Yep. Back then in what passed for my world the girls got the Beatle haircuts and the guys mostly preferred the Stones. I still do, actually.

Although I've come to appreciate the Stones more, I'm still on The Beatles side of this old battle.

This way is much better-er!
Hifi shop I worked at, as a pre-teen, had one of these.
I spent seven weeks running it 8 hrs a day to save a guys 3,000 plus record collection after his house flooded and covered all his albums with mold. Got to know it real well.

Inside cover pic from a 1966 Mad Magazine, Mick's caption reads:
I'd like people to consider me as something more than "just another pretty face"!

1970 is definitely the point in my life when I last bought 45s.

I think that the Stones musically died with Brian Jones. Just like Elvis died when he went into the army and Lennon mostly died when he left the Beatles.

This video shows who was in charge of the Stones. They were just kids taking the trip of a lifetime.

Some capitalized on a pretty face (She's a top flamenco guitar player!)

She's an outstanding guitar player. A few months ago I watched a bunch of youtube videos of her playing.

Interesting.

I think that you think wrong.........

...and speaking of pretty people who are Also monster flamenco/ mariachi guitar players...Antonio Bandaras...



...of course, I could watch Salma Hayek read the phone book till further notice...

Obviously we'll never know, but it would be interesting to pay a visit to an alternate universe where Jones doesn't die and see what their evolution would have been.

Then you'll really like Salma Hayek multiplier function in this song!



(Cue to 2:19 if you're impatient).

Harp in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

This isn't a phone book, but it should do until the phone book gets here.

This always happens when the religion of The Stones vs The Beatles comes up.

I think that they'd have split if Brian lived.....Keith, for one, could barely bring himself to talk to Brian and Mick wasn't exactly putting himself out to be civil to Brian either.....

Yep, but it's pretty cool that so many people still even care at this point.
