2. Wow. Hard to believe but it shouldn't be (to me), I remember going to a concert of theirs

back in the early 1980s here in STLMO. I was lucky enough to score a couple of free tickets and the guy (went to high school w/ him) that went w/ me said that he shouldn't have to pay me anything for them (which I disagreed with).

I regretted ever since, don't deal w/ him any longer, since I discovered that he's a tightwad.

But the Rolling Stones experience is/was enough to last me a lifetime. Amazing.

4. I saw the Rolling Stones once.

I saw the Rolling Stones once, in 1966 (I think). I was 16, too young to go by myself. My older brother took me to Birmingham, 90 miles north from my home town of Selma. The concert was in Legion Field, the football stadium, and our nosebleed seats were farther from the stage than (I would guesstimate) 69,500 of the 70,000 attendees. Still, I was there.

I REALLY wish I could have seen the Beatles, just once in my life. The closest I came was in about 1965 when we were in Columbus, Georgia, visiting my maternal grandmother and uncle, and the Beatles were in Atlanta that weekend.

Somewhere on Youtube are some videos of the Beatles' rooftop concert in January, 1969. If Satan appeared before me wanting me to sell him my soul, and in exchange he would put me there, on that London street when the rooftop concert was happening -- well, I wouldn't do it, but I would be SORELY tempted. Either that or in those Liverpool and Hamburg pubs where the Beatles played before they became famous.

But I did get to see the Stones once.
