I note with interest Steady M's report on finding the traces of B&S in unlikely places. Very much the same phenomenon happened to me. The other week I was round at his 'manor' house at Greenwich's fashionable meridian when a private screening was arranged of an obscure performance by the Rolling Stones. Asked if I was up for watching the old devils, I couldn't but wink: 'It's only Rock'n'Roll - but I like it!!'. The show had various Belle and Sebastian lookalikes on stage, plus two special guests: Ricky Ross of Deacon Blue, and Marianne Faithfull, back in the big time and occasionally striking a tambourine. But the aural warpquake that is The Stones was unmistakable as they loped through a track from side of 1971's Sticky Fingers elpee. Most amazingly of all, even Brian Jones was back in the line-up - a comeback to put Tom Jones, the Sundays, Nat King Cole et al in the shade of a tower block. Halfway through he belted into a veritable swimming pool of a solo, and never mind that he thought he was still playing 'Heart Of Stone'. All in all, it was great to see them back where they belonged - no less than the irreplaceable, irresistible, irrepressible GREATEST ROCK'N'ROLL BAND IN THE WORLD. 'As the saying goes': We salute you! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
