Thanks for this stuff. I don't watch Jimmy Fallon so this went under my radar.
It's nice to see the guys promoting a good album instead of a crap new LP.

Next tuesday - Mick on Larry King live You've had an incredible career Mick. Besides Barney on The Andy Griffith Show there was The Ghost & Mr. Chicken, The Reluctant Astronaut, The Shakiest Gun in the West--all classics. Are you still in touch with Jim Nabors?

I remember Fallon was a huge douche on Saturday Night Live...always cracking up about stupid shit during a sketch...charter member of the unfunny diarrhea club.

Cool story here - I was just reading an old thread on IORR site, entitled "Have you caught a pick from Keith at a concert...?", so all these guys are telling their little anecdotes and posting photos of various plectrums, and then this guy nails it:

No, but i once THREW a pick TO keith. New Barbarians, pittsburgh civic arena, 1979. keith was wasted and his straplock kept failing, so the guitar strap fell off 3 times during the show. he was also very drunk and kept dropping picks occaisionally. ronnie was chiding him about it.
my friend and i had jumped on the floor from the seats and made it to the first row right after the hoighty-toity high-society-types there had abandoned their seats when they realized that the whole floor was going to stand all night and that this was not some kind of surprise RS show. BAM! we leap their seats as the crowd surges and there we are, leaning against the barricade, 6-7 ft. from keith, front row. for some bizarre reason, i started waving my pick at him. i was very stoned, and everybody else was reaching out all concert too; empty hands trying to get a direct glance from the master, people waving old record covers, flowers, panties, signs, "give me a handshake" waves, "give me a high 5", etc.,..so being a young freak and budding musician, i thought i'ld wave my pick. maybe he'ld notice and nod at the musician instead of the obnoxious jock pushing over people to get a handshake or the hot chick or the person with the RS/HTW sign....i actually got a few nods from the man during the first half of the show!
all of the sudden, midsong, he drops his pick and i reach out again with mine. he smiles and nods my way, hand open. without hesitation i fling the pick his way....
3 problems: 1.keef is drunk and wasted and has been dropping shit all night.
2.picks are like throwing matchbooks, they curve and spin, you don't just lob them straight.
3.more than just stoned, the acid has totally kicked in and now i'm tripping my balls off, interacting with keef at a show. stanley clake's thumb on AIGY seems as big as keith and ronnie's heads.
luckily i don't think about *any* of these 3 things until after the show; -the pick goes RIGHT into his friggin' hand, he smiles and nods a big thank you and rejoins the song in progress. he plays with it for the rest of the show, dropping it during the JJF encore. for a half hour after the show, while the crowd empties, me and my buddy are trying to get the attention of the guitar crew breaking down the set. we point to the pick onstage and explain (somehow using verbal language despite our 4 inch wide pupils) the situation. he notices that it's not keef's style of pick, and so believes us, and retrieves it for us. we *float* home.
the pick is still with me this day, albeit somewhat shredded at the edges b'cuz i played and dragged it on my guitar strings for awhile before retiring it to the memorabilia folder. still my only interaction with the man, 27 years later....as close as i may get to my dream of jamming with him someday, but i'll take it!!

Thanks, never saw that pre-Altamont footage of Mick flouncing around the Embarcadero pier.

"The book, entitled Life, is not being released until October, but it is said to contain numerous revelations about Sir Mick's private life, including his affairs and drug-taking. An early draft has already been written, with The Rolling Stones management advising him to tone certain sections down in order to avoid a confrontation with his bandmate" tinyurl.com/27w78s8 |

Daily Mail eh? Keith had his brain surgery four years ago, not two. Here's another one then, Keith thought of replacing Jagger with Daltrey in the 1980s: tinyurl.com/2warm2tCan't wait to get the book, though. |

Hey, time for another farewell tour! They "realise that age is creeping up on them"! ROCK veterans THE ROLLING STONES are set to finally bow out after 50 years in music - with a giant farewell tour.
The foursome will have a combined age of 268 when the world tour kicks off next year.
The band - formed way back in 1962 - will reach its half-century during the jaunt, which is set to last into 2012.
Drummer CHARLIE WATTS will celebrate his 70th birthday on the tour, and bandmates RONNIE WOOD, 63, KEITH RICHARDS and MICK JAGGER, both 66, agreed the milestones make it the right moment to call it a day.
They are in talks with promoters Live Nation about the tour, and a source said: "They're likely to perform in stadiums. It's almost certainly the last full-scale world tour.
"The band realise that age is creeping up on them. They want to bow out on top of their game, and not short-change their fans."
The Stones first did a farewell tour of Britain in 1971, then left the country to avoid high taxes. They gave up touring again for eight years from 1982 until the Steel Wheels tour in 1990.
The Stones have sold more than 200 million albums and recorded a string of classic hits including Satisfaction, Paint It Black and Brown Sugar.www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/3067095/Rolling-Stones-to-say-farewell-with-50th-anniversary-tour.html |

Of course it's funny, it's "The Sun" after all. Anyhow... Wood: 'Stones Will Roll On'RONNIE WOOD has dismissed reports the ROLLING STONES are planning to retire, insisting the veteran musicians are determined to "rock till we drop".
British tabloids reported that the Brown Sugar hitmakers had agreed to conclude the band's 50-year career with a farewell tour next year (11).
But guitarist Wood insists he and his bandmates have no intention of quitting.
He says, "We have all agreed this won't be the last time. Everyone's rocking."www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/wood-stones-will-roll-on_1155036 |
