I stuck around st. petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change Killed the czar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain I rode a tank Held a generals rank When the blitzkrieg raged And the bodies stank Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name, oh yeah Ah, what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah |

Wasn't that song written about the death of Brian Jones?
It was kind of a dark message, but it was always one of my favorite songs. What made you think of this tonight? BTW, for any one out there who is less than eighty or you just don't the know the story, Brian Jones was one of the founding members of the Rolling Stones. He was found dead floating in a swimming pool. |

| Awesome, awesome thread for a Friday! |
OP here. I feel a strange sense of armageddon with threat of a governmental shut down. The Stones are my soundtrack for the weekend ! |
| What are you people talking about? |
I saw her today at the reception A glass of wine in her hand I knew she was gonna meet her connection At her feet was a footloose man |
The answer is no. it was released on Beggar's Banquet - before Brian died and he did backup vocals on it. I actually recently saw footage of the recording of the song (I'm the one who just read KR's book "Life" and am a little obsessed) and it's so funny to watch them doing it. Mick is on one side of a screen singing and the others are on the other side all gathered around a microphone sing "oooh, ooh" into it. Not at all what you would expect! I just finished Marianne Faithfull's bio (see, I am obsessed) and she said Mick wrote it after reading a book she gave him about a devil-like character. According to Keith Richards, many of their songs really didn't have the deep meanings that everyone attributes to them. Jumping Jack Flash is not about heroin, rather it is about Keith's gardner! The circumstances behind Brian's death will forever be debated. Marianne places a lot of blame on Keith and Mick for the way they treated him. Keith says it was probably a suicide but just as likely that he pissed someone off (Brian was known to be quite an asshole) and he was killed. Any more questions? |

And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse" Sing it to me now... |
| Someone at 105.9 frequents this board, it was playing during rush hour tonight, love ut. |
| I read the Marianne Faithful bio also and could she be more of a victim? It was incredibly irritating, even though I devoured the book. |
