We All Need Someone We Can Cream On

In this month so far The Rolling Stones have been a hot item in the news. The main reason is, as all of you should know by now, the story about how a few years ago, Keith Richards allegedly snorted some of the remains of his father's cremated ashes along with some cocaine, a story he later denied was true. Keith Richards is one of a kind to be sure-we need more iconic figures like him around; it makes the music world much more interesting to deal with, especially these days with all the poseurs and asshats running around.

Earlier today I discovered while watching TV that the title song off of their classic album "Let It Bleed" (which is a great album, sure, but personally I think that not only is "Exile on Main Street" the best album they ever did, but maybe the best album of all time, period.) is now being used to shill Amstel Light, of all products. I didn't quite understand the connection between the ad and the song, but these days it's common for everyone to use their songs as a means to shill some product that has nothing to do with the song itself. You just have to live with it. But, I want to upload the song as it's a great track-one of the best from the band that you hardly hear on the radio, although there are *many* great songs from that gang which you don't hear on the classic rock stations.

From the same album is "Live With Me", another great song that I've never heard on the radio before. It's not just the awesome bassline in the opening of the song; it's one hell of a tune, although pretty risqué for the time, a statement you can also make for the other song I put up here.

Tomorrow I'll post some more "lesser known" Stones ditties, including one or two where you get to hear Keith as the lead singer.
