was from Ketih Richards "Micks Rock and I'm Roll". So true. How else could you explain the true marriage between the two? They ARE rock and roll and their love child is the dirty american guitar music brought to life on the legendary Exile on Main St.
Nam was in full swing and Nixon was in power and there was a lot going on outside the villas gates in Nice. But all that mattered was the rock n roll explosion going on in the basement at Keiths.
Stones in Exile has hundreds of black and white still photos (oh Anita!) taken while they were in residence avoiding their tax issues back home. Lots of gorgeous jerky hand held camera footage too - I am always amazed at what they can remember. Especially Keith who hit the smack big time there with his high old mate Gram Parsons. I love that they are all still alive to tell their sordid, sexy tales.
You must watch this little doco and uncover the gem again that is Exile on Main St. It will show how and why America loved them more than the Beatles.
