They got all psychedelic and sitar-ish. The Stones just kept playing straight-ahead, kickass rock and roll. If I had 6 grand, I’d pay it to see Keith Richards and Ron Wood.

I wasn’t really into British bands growing up. I did like The Dave Clark Five and The Hollies, but from the time I was a child to today, my musical tastes were mostly one part Hee-Haw and one part Soul Train.
