@[bassuptoit:31164] No, I think you are a couple of years early. LET IT BLEED was from 1969-1970 when the Rolling Stones were still based in England. It was cioser to 1972 when the Stones left England for tax reasons and Keith bought a mansion on the south coast of France (i.e. the Riviera). Other band members rented their own mansions within about 20 miles of Keith, although I think that Mick may have had a place near Paris where his new wife Bianca was having their first child. This was the setting for the recording of EXILE on MAIN STREET at Keith's place using the RS Mobile Recording Studio (a van with all the latest gear) parked in the garage but wired to various recording sites on the lowest floor. Keith was in daily charge of the project (in his own way) with Mick required with wife and coming by only a few times, until the very end when Mick and Keith put the album together in France and later LA. Also, in between there was the STICKY FINGERS album. |

@[jkisau:31163] To quote from the brilliant film SPINAL TAP, when asked about sexism the ST guitarist responds: "Ok, but what's wrong with SEXY?" |

| @[Quartz:31162] Are you serious about people in the 60's? What would you say was so different from today? I think the lyrics are visions of Sirs Jagger and Richards with some bits of sly comedy thrown in, and overall not meant to be taken too seriously or too literally. As for the 1960's, even without an Internet, they were way more profoundly radical, more original and more 'down-in-the-streets daring' than that which passes for "radical" today. | |

@[jackstrawIII:30772] Where do you get this "direct descendant of King Charlemagne"? I guess it could be from a genetic test (assuming that someone has the DNA specs of Charlemagne from a well-preserved relic). But Charlemagne reigned more than 12 centuries ago (1200 years) and a continuous family story over such a time period, and over that many generations, seems very unlikely. Modern families may be able to reliably account for 'who begat whom' over the past 12 years, but not 12 centuries! Also, the Frankish/French ruler who defended Europe against the Moors was no so much Charlemagne as it was his grandfather, Charles Martel who led a French army to halt a large Muslim invasion of Europe at the Battle of Tours in 720 AD. This was the same Muslim force that had already captured Spain and Portugal and which would proceed to impose Islamic rule over both kingdoms for several hundred years. |
