The station I listen to most is playing an day Rolling Stones party fest. The Stones have soooooo many songs. I actually have so much to do but just feel like driving around in the car with the windows down singing loud. I don't always care for everything they put out. Some of their countrified songs don't always go down with a spoon of sugar but damn do they rock it when they want it. Exile on Mainstreet is a favorite that my sister and I bought in a small record shop in San Luis Obisbo. It held us over on our rushes up the PCh taking in the wild beauty of Big Sur and the charisma that is San Fran. To be honest I never knew all the names to the songs on Exile I just loved the sound the vibe. "Shake Your Hips Baby" stands out. "Rip Roaring Joint' also. I like to move. I like to sing loud. I guess I like Noise. My favorite song this year and there are so many is "Life To Fix" The Record Company borrows some Stones noise making ideas. I feel the raunch and motion in their songs. The Stones have it all together. I sort of wish they would stop touring because Mick and Keith have not aged well. Craggy bottom boys. They just have so much damn diversity it's freaking amazing. and Mick while no I don't want to see your face gracing the mags sorry dude but the amoun t of energy he possesses in his 70s. Come on kids today couldn't keep up. So we have Greta Van Fleet as the Led doppleganger who is swooping in to give us a 2018 taste of the Stones. Who I ask who? I will be your groupie.

The low rush of background singers whispering “Palatine” sneaks in as he continues to resonate. As his voice hits its crescendo the pop of the drums whips in a surprise. The deft use of the kit rushes in, quick and edgy. The song rolls on with dramatic flair while his voice ascends "We will take the chance to fly away" He plays his vocals again as he sings Taaaturbulence then the gust of the drum takes over like a strong supporting character. A song rich in drama and operatic elements, comparisons to Queen are fair. And again the drumming continues stellar. Listening to this song is like being enveloped in a short play. I can imagine the majestic costumes and sweeping set design. Also I see color when I listen to “Turbulence”; scarlet, rich gold and shades of charcoal much like the picture I just posted. Interestingly I...
