Jimmy Page would've been the one - anyone using Alesteir Crowley sex magick must've had it going on. Jagger would've just looked at himself in the mirror whilst bonking his latest conquest....d'you know who was the biggest shagger in the Stones, though? Bill fucking Wyman!!

EDIT - you could show Bowie your teethies.

bill wyman was a whore, he's fucked like 1000 women!

Yeah, I know, and he was the UGLIEST Stone!

"Classics Stones" lookers index:

M Jagger - Meh (although v cool in his "Performance" era, I'll give him that)
K Richards - total cool
B Jones - Cool x 1000
C Watts - the quiet one, but had his own cool thing going on
B Wyman - a fucking plumber.

Wyman looked pretty ace in the beginning.


Keef looked about five in the early days:

^^^Yeah, Wyman does look good there, tis true.

don't forget ian stewart

they hid him in a closet because he looked just like a normal fatman

Ian Stewart was cool because he didn't give a shit about being one of the "lookers" in the Stones - he played on plenty of their stuff too, back in the day (didn't he play the piano riff on "Sympathy..."?)

damn

it's 1969 ok!


seriously though, fuck different epochs, I'm from another dimension.

oh hell yes

No need to be modest, sir - I bet it was you who passed Iggy Pop that big tub of peanut butter at the 1970 Cincinatti Pop Festival, eh? :cool:;)

I love my era to be honest. Well, not that I LOVE it but... I mean, I'm well into it, I wouldn't like being somewhere else in thep ast

Yeah, live at a time when tri-corner hats were fashionable.

History of treatments

There were originally no effective treatments for syphilis. The Spanish priest Francisco Delicado wrote El modo de adoperare el legno de India (Rome, 1525) about the use of Guaiacum in the treatment of syphilis. He himself suffered from syphilis. Another common remedy was mercury: the use of which gave rise to the saying "A night in the arms of Venus leads to a lifetime on Mercury".[25] It was administered multiple ways including by mouth and by rubbing it on the skin. One of the more curious methods was fumigation, in which the patient was placed in a closed box with his head sticking out. Mercury was placed in the box and a fire was started under the box which caused the mercury to vaporize. It was a grueling process for the patient and the least effective for delivering mercury to the body.

As the disease became better understood, more effective treatments were found. The first antibiotic to be used for treating disease was the arsenic-containing drug Salvarsan, developed in 1908 by Sahachiro Hata while working in the laboratory of Nobel prize winner Paul Ehrlich. This was later modified into Neosalvarsan. Unfortunately, these drugs were not 100% effective, especially in late disease. It had been observed that some who develop high fevers could be cured of syphilis. Thus, for a brief time malaria was used as treatment for tertiary syphilis because it produced prolonged and high fevers. This was considered an acceptable risk because the malaria could later be treated with quinine which was available at that time. This discovery was championed by Julius Wagner-Jauregg, who won the 1927 Nobel Prize for Medicine for his work in this area. Malaria as a treatment for syphilis was usually reserved for late disease, especially neurosyphilis, and then followed by either Salvarsan or Neosalvarsan as adjuvant therapy. These treatments were finally rendered obsolete by the discovery of penicillin, and its widespread manufacture after World War II allowed syphilis to be effectively and reliably cured.[26]

i would like to have been born in the distant future. but in the past new york from 1965 to 1990 would have been a great to witness first hand as far as music goes.

stop bothering / boring us withthe Stones for Fuck's Sake.
Here is a little gift to you Stones addicts from ME.

now to answer the excellent question here
i feel good in the period of time i was born.

I was too small in the 70's (to know the Stones)
I was thrashing to MC Hammer in the 80's (ignoring the Cure and Evol as I was kind of mmm 10)
I was listening to pavement and Sebadoh and SY and smoking shitloads of pot in the 90's (mmm good , yet troubled times)
I feel very comfortable in 00's

watching the world as it obviously collapses around me.

I have always been way ahead of my time. I feel like should have been born in 2025.

Alternately, I think I would have enjoyed living as a teenager or college-aged kid in the 1950s, as along as I was among either a) the wealthy or b) the beat poets.

At the same time, I enjoyed the hell out of myself growing up in the 60s and 70s. In hindsight, I wish I'd started paying attention to stuff earlier back then--I was a late comer to the Stones and the Beatles, not really getting into them until 1968 or so when I was around 13.

i haven't fucked much with the past but ive fucked plenty with the future.

seriously.

the middle ages, the renaissance, the classical era, prehistory, the jazz era, the various pre-post-and world wars, the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, can eat shit.

I have always said it, man: There is no time like the present. And you can quote me on that, man.

The present sucks, too. But at least I'm not going to know what happens next.
