The Greatest Rock & Roll band in the world

It’s Friday night in Wash, D.C. I’ve taken off from blogging as all this Kathy Sierra, porno banning, Imus scandaling, war raging, bloggers blogging, beheamouths purchasing, leveraged money guys spewing, rich people a partying just bores me - to be honest.

But when a friend pointed me to the post on Rolling Stone magazine launching a social network - I thought: “Gosh that’s something I should blog about.

So I took off from my crazily busy life and spent :03 putting up a post which acknowledged that some of us ‘older types really would use a social network, if I knew my constituents, my homeboys, all my grrrrls, my friends, peeps like me - would be on that network. I suggested that we could all reminisce about our favorite concerts we ever attended.

I even plopped down a couple of old found memories of the two most memorable concerts I ever attended - and you know what happened? This:

    Did you even read the article you linked to in this post??? This social network has nothing to do with the band Rolling Stones, it has to do with the magazine, genius! Mike’s right, your generation really is too old for this.

Yo - Mo.

I hate to break this to you - but I actually did read the post, I actually did go see the Stones in ‘72 and was almost trampled upon as 50,000 funk fans went ah-rioting in Grant Park when Sly Stone never showed up. I know you must think all us hippy types are just stupid, but dude - life is for living.

Go have a drink or do whatever it is you do. I don’t drink.

The 1969 tour of the Rolling Stones produced the greatest live album ever.  Its called “Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out”.  That album blew my mind and changed my life.  I attended the 1972 tour - wishing that they’d play everything that was on the album.  They did.

Mo - I highly suggest you go and download a copy and don’t “bust a button on yer trousers” - “cause you don’t want Mick’s trousers to fall down now - do yah?”

    I saw the Stones at Knebworth in 76. The only time I’ve seen them live. I’m happy never to have seen them again. At the time I didn’t really realise it, they seemed so huge and so established - but they’d only been around for a little over ten years. Now it’s a little over forty. I loved that gig - it was full of hippies and rockers and god knows what else. It was huge. All day the radio blared about it. Too many people turned up. They knocked the fences down. The Stones came on late late late, in the middle of the night. I was fourteen. It was the end of something that I had mostly missed. The next year punk hit with the force of a hurricane and took me away from all that. Keep it up Marc, you rock.

    Yeah, Ya-Yas was ja, ja! ;-) Haven’t thought about it for awhile, but it was a great album.
