Recently I came across the Rolling Stones on Tik Tok, sandwiched in between cat videos.
Several, with Mick singing "Country Honk" - it's a variation on their song "Honky Tonk Women."
(One Comment said, "The Rolling Stones are more country than today's country music.")
I first heard Rolling Stones music when I went to college in Boston. In my freshman year, living in the dorm called Warren Towers, on Commonwealth Avenue, I listened to WBCN and heard a song:
...no one knows,
she comes and goes,
good-bye, Ruby Tuesday,
who could hang a name on you
when you change with every new day,
still, I'm gonna miss you...
I told the guy I was dating that I heard this song I liked by The Beatles, called "Ruby Tuesday" - he corrected this immediately, (and with a sort of startled expression, as if I was a stranger who had just stepped out of a space capsule from another planet), saying, "That isn't the Beatles, it's the Rolling Stones."
(All those English accents...)
