I saw Keef about 30 years ago with the New Barbarians. We were right on the wall in the old Atlanta Omni, he wasn’t 10’ from me for most of the show.
He looked like death warmed over back then.
Too bad Gilda’s no longer around to perform this classic on SNL:
Gimme Mick, gimme Mick
Baby’s hair, bulgin’ eyes, lips so thick
Are you woman, are you man
I’m your biggest funked-up fan
Gimme Mick, gimme Mick
Baby’s hair, bulgin’ eyes, lips so thick
Are you woman, are you man
I’m your biggest funked-up fan
So rock me and roll me ‘til I’m sick.”
[Struts up and down the stage]
“Some girls want Travolta
All black and white and slick
But there’s screamin’ hunky mamas yellin’
Gimme Mick
Well my fine performance
Take my wife and all that shtick
Makes me die just ta meet ya
(Gimme Mick, gimme Mick
Baby’s hair, bulgin’ eyes, lips so thick)
Are you woman, are you man
I’m your biggest funked-up fan
So rock me and roll me ‘til I’m sick
You, Mick Jagger, actually continue to perform at a concert where someone got knifed and killed during the 60’s
You, Mick Jagger, are English and go out with a model and get an incredible amount of publicity
You, Mick Jagger, don’t keep regular hours
You, Mick Jagger, have the greatest rock ‘n roll band in the history of rock ‘n roll, and you don’t even play an instrument yourself
(Rock ‘n roll, rock ‘n roll
Gimme gimme gimme rock ‘n roll)
Gimme gimme rock ‘n roll
(Gimme gimme gimme gimme)
Gimme gimme
Gimme gimme gimme gimme
Gimme Mick, gimme Mick
Baby’s hair, bulgin’ eyes, lips so thick
Are you woman, are you man
I’m your biggest funked-up fan
So rock me and roll meeee...
‘Til I’m sick [burps]-Ugh!”
The Rolling Stones brought slime and trash to the Rock and Roll world. Bad enough that the Beatles looked like girls, but these dirtbags brought all the sleeze and filth you could haul to Rock and Roll. That’s my opinion, so . . . there!
Whose got them moves like Jagger?
The old Mickster is 69.
“AIN’T TOO PROUD TO WEAR DEPENDS”
“START ME UP WITH MY PACEMAKER”
“I CAN’T GET NO BOWEL MOVEMENT”
“JUMPIN’ JACK FLASH MY PACEMAKER JUST SHORTED OUT”
“LET’S SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER SAYING THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER”
“RUBY TUESDAY SO IT’S PUDDING AT DINNER”
“TIME IS ON MY SIDE BUT NOT GRAVITY”
YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT AND WHAT I WANT IS THOSE DAMN NEIGHBOR KIDS OFF MY LAWN”
Quote possibly the most overhyped band in history. There is no reason, aside from longevity, that they should be mentioned among the rock and roll elite.
I read “Life”, and surprisingly, despite all of the drugs, Keith comes across as a pretty sharp guy. I think when he appears in public, for the most part, he puts on an act.
WINOS FOREVER!!!!
