Have you seen the ROLLING STONES new movie?
I just seen Shine a Light. One word FANTASTIC! This is one great concert movie folks. I saw it at an IMAX theater. It was fun to watch, and the music was great. For those of us that are not teenagers anymore, but still want to rock out. The Rolling Stones are showing the way. And to think these guys were the Beatles contemporaries, and still playing hard. It was so inspiring. Go see this at an IMAX if you can. SUPER!

....And it's not just the Stones' earlier music which has stood the test of time but lots of their songs are awesome on every single album right up to the present day. These guys don't get intellectual about their music, they just DO it! (even with that favorite among some IACers - Christina Aguilera)
There are other great bands of course, but no-one else just delivers the down-to-earth feel of music like they do....And keeps on doing it for decades! You don't have to be an old hippie to love and appreciate The Stones.
As Keith says: "A song doesn't stop when you've written it.........It only ends when you no longer play it"

Some music is really timeless, like the American blues artists e.g. Robert Johnson and John Lee Hooker that influenced the Stones in the beginning. Satisfaction, Paint It Black, Jumping Jack Flash and Brown Sugar were in the charts when I was a teenager and were playing at all the parties I used to go to. They are still great to listen to after all these years DK's Mum (ageing Hippie !)

"The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus" came out on DVD recently - I think it was from '67 - the highlight is "The Dirty Mack" playing "Yer Blues" (Keith Richards on bass...Clapton on lead guitar...Mitch Mitchell on drums...and Lennon fronting)...but the whole show is fab...if you don't mind stuff that's 40 years old...

Wowee - sounds like a lotta fun...I have no clue about this movie, and I suppose it's easily researched online, but what era? Is this new or historical? Or hysterical? H
