well yes , in fact you can see them influence in the new york dolls , ive
often heard the exclamation the lies they said about the stones were in fact
truths of the dolls lol . the dolls later went on to influence the pistols
clash etc etc . fact is early recording of the dolls were quite bluesy like
the stones original image .

well istn that true human nature ;-) , i still think they were
rebleiouse but yes not as punky and yes they did try to become noble men ;-)
. just living in red lands will make you feel that lol

yes but as much as arnold lane or bike

and much more musical and melody and the whole arrangement was more
completcated and ground breaking imho but pink didnt have brain , ive often
though brian and syd would have been great together in a blusy way .

I first heard the Stones music on a children's tv show
> called The Hilarious House Of Frightenstein, in the early '70s

dont rmember than one , here in the states in the early seventys remember
puff en stuff and lids ville ;-) two shows that were very colorful ;-) .

I was never all that

same here , at least not as much , there are eceptions . the eightys stuff
most of it i havent listen to , did they make eightys stuff ??? i dont know
;-) . after emotioanl rescue i really gave them up . then again i did for
eightys bowie as well till he got fripp .

think

well i think that goes for the burst of creativity at that as
well . has creativiy been close yet , even in the movies they have to rehash
old scripts and nothing is new anymore . just the next flash in the pan when
the current in the bun ask for too much of the money share .

killed t-rex climb didnt it but mark b persona did that as well with being
so self centered
