"Yeah. It was all… I really have no idea if anyone ever shoved it up the shitter"


Fantastic interview with Keith on the GQ site. Here's "Shake Your Hips" by Slim Harpo, as covered on "Exile On Main St.", while you read it.
"Shine A Light" is on the way. You didn't hear this from me...
here's an MSNBC report...

The Lawnmower Man

George "No Show" Jones is to tour Ireland this summer but the promoters seems to have dropped the ball in that there's no east coast shows at all. Looks like the Coff and I will have to head west to catch the Possum but it should be worth it. Who can forget the fine tale about him and his lawnmower?

Here's one of his great early tracks, "You're Still On My Mind"
Buy George!

More George, one of the greatest country records of them all

It's Not Your Bag Baby

NME reports that Keith Richards is taking part in a new ad campaign for Louis Vuitton. Considering this and my last post, have they got some outside help they don't need round the Stones' office?

Let's hope the new Scorsese movie's as good as the trailer but would it have killed them to repeat the format he used on "No Direction Home" with Dylan, i.e. new interviews and a load of rare footage. It's not like there's a shortage of live Stones video available. I've got two 4 dvd boxsets from the last two tours for christ's sake. I really have got to stop giving these people my money.
