  3. Stumbled on this post in a vintage Boston group. I think folks here will enjoy this...

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    Boston, July 18, 1972.

    The Rolling Stones were supposed to play the Boston Garden that night. Fifteen thousand people were already inside, waiting for Mick, Keith and the boys to show up. Only problem was, the Stones weren't anywhere near Boston. Fog had forced their plane to land at T.F. Green in Rhode Island, and while they were waiting to get out of there, an altercation with police ended with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and three others getting hauled off to jail. Meanwhile, back at the Garden, 15,000 people were sitting around wondering what the hell was going on.

    Stevie Wonder kept playing to buy some time, but everybody knew nobody had come to the Garden that night just to see Stevie. Boston was also dealing with trouble in the South End, so Mayor Kevin White had a decision to make. He needed his cops in the streets, but he also had a Garden full of angry Stones fans who had been waiting all night. So White went down there himself and started making calls. Somehow he got the Stones sprung from the Rhode Island lockup on $50 bail and into his personal custody.

    Then the mayor walked onto the Garden stage, sleeves rolled up and tie loosened, and told 15,000 people, “The Stones have been busted, but I have sprung them!” The place went nuts. White arranged for the MBTA to stay open late, kept the crowd occupied while the Stones headed north with a police escort, and at one point was even throwing a football into the stands. You couldn't make this stuff up.

    The Stones finally hit the Garden stage around 12:45 in the morning and played until after 2. They were hours late, but the crowd was still there. Nobody went home empty-handed, and Boston avoided what could have been one hell of a mess.

    That's the kind of Boston story I love. No fancy press conference. No committee meeting. Just Kevin White walking into a packed Garden full of pissed-off people and basically saying, “Relax. They're coming.”

    And somehow, the mayor pulled it off.

    The Stones played. The crowd went home happy and Boston got one hell of a story.

  8. #nowplaying Picked this up on sale for €60. The listing said there was an Atmos mix included but oddly I couldn’t find anything on the packaging of the box or book or blu-ray that said there was an Atmos mix. Anyways, there is. In other news, I now have a disc player that can handle Atmos. I have a backlog to get through. #atmos #rollingstones

  13. Our current trajectory, it would seem, ties back to COVID, when revenues from income taxes took a serious hit around the globe. So much money was printed and capital doled out (to big tech) to keep the world churning, everything became more expensive, and did nothing to change the fact there was a big black hole in the ledger that can never be recouped. Unless, the promise of AI comes through. Everyone's futures have been bet on its success. Now, completely over-leveraged, it's too big to fail, and everyone loses if it doesn't.

    The Who, “The Kids Are Alright” soundtrack, 1979

    I encountered this film at the height of my Who mania, and it was EVERYTHING to me. It has grainy black-and-white footage of early gigs, TV appearances including the moment on the Smothers Brothers when Keith destroyed Pete’s hearing with explosives (not a metaphor), performances at The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus and at Woodstock, the video for “Success Story,” an outstanding deep cut of John’s (with the studio recording from “Who By Numbers," not included on the soundtrack album), their last appearance with Keith at Shephardson Studios, staged expressly for the film, and more. What it didn't have is the song “The Kids Are Alright.” (Seems they’ve added it onto the later DVD and Blu-ray releases behind additional closing credits, but I liked their little joke better.)

    One of the best segments of the film/selections on the album, and itself somewhat in keeping with the “kid” theme, is their performance of Mose Allison’s “Young Man’s Blues.” The attitude of the original was already pure punk; in The Who’s hands, this jazz/blues piano piece becomes muscular, even menacing.

    They fucking kill it.

  18. CW: dated classic rock tropes incl misogyny

    #EarwormOfTheDay Knew this would happen eventually - it's 'Hand of Fate' by the #RollingStones: youtu.be/3RGhtDjup38
    which is in the running as my favourite Stones #song; not sure why.

    It's a fine example from their vast catalogue of open tuning and misogyny, a strong narrative lyric and dazzling solo work from guest artist Wayne Perkins, but not really one of their immortals. No accounting for my regurgitative brain's taste.
