The Rolling Stones

For a couple of weeks now, I've noticed that every time we go into the local taco place -- and a certain person is manning the register -- there is a great mix of nothing but Stones songs playing on the speakers. Late sixties, early seventies, mid eighties, all their best stuff. And most times -- I've spent a great deal of time with Mick, Keith and all the rest, so I kinda know what I'm talking about -- I can dismiss the band, as I remember what they've become in the last few years, and I've heard some songs so often, they don't register anymore. But man, hearing Beast of Burden, or Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, or Wanna Hold You just takes me to a higher place. What a fantastic, incredible band. Sometimes, they just sound... Perfect.

agreed! some of their songs are still so potent & wrapped up in all manner of heart & memories - or just require a sweating summer bottle of beer as accompaniment
