RE: Re: Sweet Hanger-On
The Stones have never been about rebellion.
Strother, you have got to stop believing that popular culture began shortly after you started paying attention. Starting in 1964, all the way up through the early 1970's, the Rolling Stones were ALL about rebellion. That was what set them apart from their compatriots, The Beatles. While John, Paul, George, and Ringo were dispensing their sticky-sweet pop jingles, Mick and the boys were cultivating their rebellious, bad-boy image with songs like Let's Spend the Night Together, and Jumping Jack Flash. While the Beatles wore their sport jackets, ties, and polished dress boots, the Stones wore leather jackets, T-shirts, and scuffed-up motorcycle boots. All the pretty kids in school were Beatles fans, all the geeks and trouble-makers were Stones fans.
...I assume that he had to come up with something politically provocative and slanted to the right.
How cynical of you. I guess it never occurred to you that Beston might have written this because it is what he really believes.
