Kingston Crossroads: Re: Sex Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll

Admittedly Larry, the title of this thread caught my eye!

And while on the subject of Sex, Drugs & Rock'n'Roll, a few months ago I got to watch the TV mini series "The Linda McCartney Story."

There's a scene where Mick Jagger makes advances towards Linda McCartney.
She's quite taken with him. My wife also tells me how charming Mick Jagger is.
Oh yes. Makes my day! (hahaha)

In a later scene, Paul McCartney wants to form a new group ("Wings") and asks his wife, Linda, to join them.

Linda McCartney refuses and tells Paul that Mick Jagger told her to never join a rock band no matter how much Paul begs her to.

So Paul McCartney screams: "Oh yeah? Well, screw him!"

Linda tells Paul:

"I already have."

First, let me say I am still a KINGSTON TRIO MANIAC....
Then Secondly ~ a BEATLEMANIAC....
Thirdly, I'm a ROLLING STONES MANIAC....
Fourthly - I'm just a plain MANIAC, but not dangerous. So No Worries!

OK - so here we are: THE ROLLING STONES

MICK JAGGER is the quintessential Poster Child for the "Sex Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll" lifestyle.
And no, Mick did NOT form THE ROLLING STONES...it was BRIAN JONES (1942-1969) who actually put these five guys together.
BUT it was MICK JAGGER who became the major "Star Performer", and who also wrote songs together with fellow "STONER" - Keith Richards.

[almost in the same category as Lennon-McCartney]

Without MICK JAGGER ~ I'm not sure how THE ROLLING STONES would have evolved in becoming the second most popular "Rock Band" ----
right after THE BEATLES.

As the charismatic frontman of THE ROLLING STONES, Mick popularized a rebellious archetype that defined Modern Rock Culture.

As of this writing, MICK JAGGER recently celebrated turning 82, and to me he looks excactly the same as he did waaay back in the 1960's ----
except now he's got WHITE HAIR. (remember Andy Griffith in the TV series "MATLOCK" ?)

(sorry, unable to post the picture of Mick blowing out the candles on his birthday cake)

THE ROLLING STONES - As Tears Go By

And we KINGSTON TRIO FANS know exactly where THE ROLLING STONES got their name....
