j45nick Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Today (July 26th) is Mick Jagger's 70th birthday. Will the man ever stop? (Rhetorical question: everyone knows he won't.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I tend to believe that Mick and the gang grew into a position where they function like some sort of valve for western civilization. They are 'hired pirates' who kind of answers the old roman thought : Give the people bread and circuses (while we the leaders undisturbed stick to more important issues). Go buy a Stones concert and drive a little berserk in decadence afterwards. Then everything will remain in order when the hangovers are gone and you're back in the humdrum. Okay, that's the philosopher in me speaking. The old street busker just don't want Midnight Rambler to stop - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Love'em or hate'em, they're The Stones and don't want to be and won't be anyone else. Originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 The Fab is like a divine power ~ a limitless reign that time after time reaches down and blesses me by placing a crown on my head. Stones is more like a third arm – sometimes in the way, , , but definitely a part of my soul and body. Yes, there is Gibson content - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is Gibson content - Em7, whatever you have been smoking, I think it is a bit too strong for you! Happy B-Day, Mick! I saw the Stones twice in December and Mick ran around the stage for 2 1/2 hours like he was in his 20s! Unbelievable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j45nick Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 I guess there are no doping tests in rock and roll! And that's probably a good thing. Probably just as well they don't test rock 'n roll fans, either. As I understand it, Mick has been clean for a long, long time. Keef? Well, Keef is Keef.......

As said before : Don't do the magic oil no more, but there might be some drops left rolling in there. Seriously - have a feeling I speak for more than a whole lot of people in that post #6.

E-minor7 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Lots of pics of their at the time 'new' blonde Bird with rosewood insert. Had that down and talked about it here before. Then 2 shots of Jagger with a cherryburst Bird also with rosewood adj. insert. That one was new to me and I don't believe the photos was from Nellcôte. Definitely from the early 70's though - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
