It was full of screaming crowds, hysterical girls fainting and carried away to ambulances and the cops joining the free fray. My parents went ballistic, said this wretched pop music and evil personified Rolling Stones who could send people mad was a sign of the end times. I was told not to listen to corrupting pop music ever! Well that sent me listening to all the pop I could clandestinely listen on the radio when my folks weren’t around. Nothing tastes better than stolen fruit. Cut to the present, I’m 67, and my wife literally dances with rage, when I turn on the music loud in the house everyday.And I saw the Stones on YouTube last week when they released their new album!Matsamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738915050150533025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-55860369008826504982023-01-26T00:33:15.175+08:002023-01-26T00:33:15.175+08:00I Was there!

I was sat just behind those girls in the picture from the newspaper but you can't see me. I've been to many concerts since, including the Stones, but as a 10-year old this was an incredible experience.
