It's about neutered longevity vs. the brightest flash in the pan.

definitely the Stones. I mean, would you rather sleep with Yoko Ono, or every hawt supermodel that Mick Jagger boinked?

Good point. That and I heard Lynda was a bit of a freak.

Yup.

Then again, Mick did sleep with David Bowie, too.... woops.

Eye jess broak the tie.
woot.

the flamenco forum took a hold of the same question and did much better with it in the end. i'm mildly disappointed here.

I would not mind being Keef-

A still fetching in her late 50's model wife, a few houses around the world, some money, still has not allowed himself to be knighted thus he is still non complicit with the higher social orders...but he probably does as much charity giving as Sir Paul.

He stays up late at night cooking bangers and mash, and he gets to play Pirates in movies. He fell out of a tree and lived.

In the beginning they concert promoters said of the Stones and the Beatles; The Stones were gentlemen they had to gussy up to look shabby and tough and the Beatles were street toughs they had to put in suits and ties to make them look less like Marlon Brando clone punks. In Germany in the pre invasion days they dressed like greasers. In America that look was too menacing and tough to make them seem like those dapper Lads from Liverpool. The Stones first tours of the US took them through areas where they hung out in black night clubs where whites did not go, but they seem to have been welcomed because they knew the music in detail.

Sort of like Americans or Japanese going to Spain and being welcomed by Gitano's more so than Gitano's might be open to non Gypsy Spaniards. I remember telling some Spanish guys I hung out with that I went to a Gypsy baptism, they were both jealous and repulsed at the same time. They said how could I stand to hang out with 'thieves and drug addicts' while in the next breath saying I love flamenco and I've lived in Spain all my life and have never been invited to a flamenco Gypsies private life or home. I filled them in on what happened and they just sat there gawking.

Some time ago I read, maybe in one of Paco Sevilla's books, that Camaron was invited to sing in a private fiesta for the Rolling Stones for the sum of 30,000 dollars. In the end Camaron declined to perform for some reason, I don't know why. Who knows why, maybe he was too strung out. Sometimes when junkies meet up it flares their interest in going on a jag and getting high..or maybe Camaron just did not want to sing for such a small sum..the lore around both the Stones and Camaron is so Byzantine and opaque how could you ever know unless you asked one of them yourself?

Maybe the reason flamencos pick the Stones over Sir Paul and Co. is because the Stones themselves are just more flamenco than the Beatles. The image, the sound, the strutting..

Maybe Camaron did not want to compete with Mick for who struts better...

I Like Acid and Weed a lot better than Cocaine and Heroin, so Beetles it is.

While it may be safe(ish) to assume the Beetles did not do much coke or smack, it is 100% certain that the Stones did lots of all four.

I believe the choice is clear.

Heroin! Cocaine! Methamphetamine! LSD! Crack! Opium! Cannabis! Mushrooms! Ecstacy! PCP! GHB! Cough Syrup! Alcohol! Ketamine! Mescaline!

I want it all...

I guess that makes me more like:

Oh sweet jesus.

It's probably good you didn't invite me to Jtree. You and I hanging out IRL might not end well.

Cactus Party?

Heh heh heh...

But yeah. What you actually meant. I'd be in to that.

Well, being that I'm at work, I'll have click on that later. But theres lots of Teddy Bear Cholla to be had at JTree. No really teddybear:
