You're totally right, though - right now is the "good old days".

ps-

1) Babelogue

I haven't fucked much with the past, but I've fucked plenty with the future. Over the skin of silk are scars from the splinters of stations and walls I've caressed. A stage is like each bolt of wood, like a log of Helen, is my pleasure. I would measure the success of a night by the way by the way by the amount of piss and seed I could exude over the columns that nestled the P.A. Some nights I'd surprise everybody by skipping off with a skirt of green net sewed over with flat metallic circles which dazzled and flashed. The lights were violet and white. I had an ornamental veil, but I couldn't bear to use it. When my hair was cropped, I craved covering, but now my hair itself is a veil, and the scalp inside is a scalp of a crazy and sleepy Comanche lies beneath this netting of the skin. I wake up. I am lying peacefully I am lying peacefully and my knees are open to the sun. I desire him, and he is absolutely ready to seize me. In heart I am a Moslem; in heart I am an American; in heart I am Moslem, in heart I'm an American artist, and I have no guilt. I seek pleasure. I seek the nerves under your skin. The narrow archway; the layers; the scroll of ancient lettuce. We worship the flaw, the belly, the belly, the mole on the belly of an exquisite whore. He spared the child and spoiled the rod. I have not sold myself to God.

Yeah, I'm totally familiar with Patti Smith and her stuff (after all, I was in LOVE w/ her for Chrissake), but the other bit about mooning somebody was totally new to me.

i was lost in the infinite sea
i was lost and measure for measure
love spewed from the heart of me
i was lost
and the cost
and the cost didn't matter to me

Here are my favorite Stones lyrics of all they ever did:

Mister President, Mister Immigration Man,
Let me in, sweetie, to your fair land.
I'm Tampa bound and Memphis too,
Short Fat Fanny is on the loose.
Dig that sound on the radio,
Then slip it right across into Buffalo.
Dick and Pat in ole D.C.,
Well they're gonna hold some shit for me.

Yes. The Stones never gave their piano guys enough credit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Stewart_(musician)


Born in Pittenweem, Fife, Scotland, and raised in Sutton, Surrey, Stewart (who was often called Stu) started playing piano when he was about six years old. He also took up banjo, and played with various Sutton-area amateur groups on both instruments.[1] Stewart, who loved rhythm & blues, boogie-woogie and blues as well as big-band jazz, was the first person to respond to Brian Jones's advertisement in Jazz News of 2 May 1962 seeking musicians interested in forming a rhythm & blues group.[2] Mick Jagger and Keith Richards joined them in June, and the group (with Dick Taylor on bass and either Mick Avory or Tony Chapman on drums) played their first gig under the name The Rollin' Stones at the Marquee Club on 12 July 1962.[3][4] By January 1963 Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts had also joined, replacing a series of off-and-on bassists and drummers.[4]

Stewart had a regular job at Imperial Chemical Industries in addition to his work with the fledgling Rolling Stones. None of the other band members had a telephone; Stewart said, "[My] desk at ICI was the headquarters of the Stones organisation. My number was advertised in Jazz News and I handled the Stones' bookings at work." He also bought a van to transport the group and their equipment to their gigs.[5]

In early May 1963, the band's new manager, Andrew Loog Oldham, informed the Rolling Stones that Stewart should no longer be part of the onstage line-up, saying that six members would be too many for a popular group and that Stewart's appearance didn't fit the band's image.[6] He proposed that Stewart could stay with the band as road manager, and could continue to play piano on recordings.

Stewart accepted this demotion. Keith Richards has said: "[Stu] might have realised that in the way it was going to have to be marketed, he would be out of sync, but that he could still be a vital part. I'd probably have said, 'Well, fuck you', but he said 'OK, I'll just drive you around.' That takes a big heart, but Stu had one of the largest hearts around."[7]



etc etc-- amusing anecdotes follow.

later:

When the Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, they requested that Stewart's name be included as a member of the band.

i would've loved to expierence punk rock 1979-1983. actually i just feel like i was born and raised in the wrong town and at the wrong time and the wrong scene. washington dc 1979 until about now i guess would be my ideal time and place for me to live in.
