Mal so nebenbei: Waren in den 60ern nicht eher die Beatles die wilden? Das waren Jungs aus der Arbeitklasse, die auf der Reepenbahn in Hamburg gespielt und gelebt haben; und die Stones waren doch eher die Bürgersöhnchen. Der einzige wilde Stone war doch Brian Jones. Oder nicht?

Die Sixties waren generell wild. Die Beatles wurden aber auch von Großmütterchen gemocht. Die Stones eher nicht. Damals.

“The Beatles were hard men. Brian Epstein cleaned them up for mass consumption, but they were anything but sissies. They were from Liverpool, which is like Hamburg or Norfolk, Virginia – a hard, sea-farin‘ town, all these dockers and sailors around all the time who would beat the piss out of you if you so much as winked at them. Ringo’s from the Dingle, which is like the fucking Bronx.

The Rolling Stones were the mummy’s boys – they were all college students from the outskirts of London. They went to starve in London, but it was by choice, to give themselves some sort of aura of disrespectability. I did like the Stones, but they were never anywhere near the Beatles – not for humor, not for originality, not for songs, not for presentation. All they had was Mick Jagger dancing about. Fair enough, the Stones made great records, but they were always shit on stage, whereas the Beatles were the gear.”
