The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones


I like the Stones but I have never been a huge fan.  I liked them a lot in college and then a friend of mine told me she never listens to them because they are sexists.  I never thought of them until she started quoting "Under My Thumb" and "Let's Spend The Night Together" and other verses of varies songs.  I had to concluded that she had a point, a very good point.

I don't know the members of this band as I know other bands.  Of course, I know the ever-ugly Mick Jagger and the notorious Keith Richards (and yes, I do believe he actually attempted to snort his deceased father's ashes), But I don't know any other band member.

I quote Mick Jagger as if he is some great philosopher.  I constantly tell people, "You can't always get what you want but if you try real hard, you get what you need".

I'd like to see them in concert.  But I am not willing to spend big bucks to see them.  But, the older they get, the more expensive the concert tickets get.  I think the producers always take in to account that this could be their last concert due to their age and drug habits.  But I am not spending $200 to sit int he nose bleed section of a concert hall.  So, in reality, I am never going to see the Rolling Stones.

But there are some Stones songs that I just love to hear, again and again and again:


  • Rudy Tuesday
  • Show Some Emotion
  • Angie
  • Satisfaction
  • You can't Always Get What You Want
  • Time is On My Side  It’s All Over Now 
  • Under My Thumb 
  • It’s Only Rock ’N Roll (But I Like It)
  • Mother’s Little Helper 
  • Paint It, Black 
  • Miss You 
  • Play With Fire
  • Get Off Of My Cloud
  • Beast of Burden  
  • Dancing In The Streets (With David Bowie)
  • (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction 
  • You Can’t Always Get What You Want
