THE STRANGE DEATH OF THE ROLLING STONES

In one of those strange kinks that can suddenly happen in history England suddenly exploded with musical talent at the beginning of the 1960’s; talent that was to conquer the world. The rock and roll band was born. In one short decade music changed forever.
Extraordinary Talent
Two bands however stood out The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. We know what happened to The Beatles but whatever became of The Stones?
When looking at their back catalogue one is overwhelmed by the sheer diversity and quality produced, - Satisfaction, Get Off My Cloud, Lady Jane, Ruby Tuesday, Jumping Jack Flash, She’s A Rainbow, You Can’t Always Get What You Want, Brown Sugar, Street Fighting Man, Parachute Woman, Gimme Shelter, Wild Horses. The list goes on. Then sometime in 1972 they flew out into a clear blue sky never to be seen again. True a solo hit for Jagger ‘Angie’ appeared in 1974, salvaged from the wreckage as it were, but the Stones were gone. In their place came the infamous money making tribute band, Jagger and The Stones, who even had the effrontery to produce some sub standard ‘original’ material. However their major goal was to make money on the back catalogue.

As all true fans knew The Stones were gone, we would never see their like again.
