Saint Paul the persecutor
Was a cruel and sinful man
Jesus hit him with a blinding light
And then his life began
I said yeah
I said yeah

Augustin knew temptation
He loved women, wine and song
And all the special pleasures
Of doing something wrong
I said yeah
I said yeah

I said yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You'll never make a saint of me

And could you stand the torture
And could you stand the pain
Could you put your faith in Jesus
When you're burning in the flames

And I do believe in miracles
And I want to save my soul
And I know that I'm a sinner
I'm gonna die here in the cold
I said yes, I said yeah

So I was like 8 years old and wanted a spice girls cd... but this is what my dad got me instead :) I recoverd the lost cd just after he passed away last year. Thanks Dad!

FUCKING LOVE THEMMMM!! THIS IS REAL MUSIC PEOPLE!!

Bridges, Voodoo, Bigger Bang--all good, actually. The problem when you are SO FUCKING GOOD, for so long, is that people can on the one hand EXPECT so much from you and on the other just be so trendy and cowardly as to belittle you for being around so long, i.e. you mustn't be any good, too old.

NOBODY has a peak that goes on forever, 68-72 say was unparalleled, but Goats, Its Only R&R, Black n Blue, S. Girls, Tat. You (even E. Rescue b4, and Undercover after), Steel Wheels, & above damn nice.

Oh, and just saw (May 8th, San Jose) my 10th ever show, 8th tour, every one at least once since Detroit in '81, and I can attest, they still kick ass live, no lie. I was remembering a quote of John's, "They just gave the Stones an award for 32 years of being together", obviously an exaggeration at the time.

I would bet there are MILLIONS of Beatles folks who wished they had more than those nine years. Stone's catalogue is so vast, varied, and good. GREAT LIVE, Rocked AND Rolled, Beats only Rock

[Nun Ya]

Never saw this vid--pretty damn good one, in a minimalist kind of way. From the floating angel in the gnarly public bathroom, to Mick's one black fingernail, to Charlie and his finger propping the floater up, I dug this.

I love a lot of the Beatles, and give them their due, and leaned Lennon (though a documentary on Harrison I saw of late is GREAT, made me appreciate him a lot), but Lennon's sometimes snarking on the Stones is laughable.

I am DAMN glad they have hung around all these years.
