I agree with Keef

@tgilb,

"Yes, the Stones decided to silence themselves."


Not very rebellious of them was it?

To think, once they had the entire nation out in uproar with tales of public urination, crazed drug parties involving imaginative uses of a Mars bar, foreign debauched holidays in exotic lands etc.

Ah, but those were days when Brian was in the band...

@millercarbon,

"If you want to live in a world where you are no longer free to do or even think anything but what they tell you, just keep going the way you are. If you want to live free, JUST SAY NO!"

Besides, this is Rock and Roll we’re discussing here.

You don’t like it, don’t listen to it.

Don’t try to stop others either.

(Maybe also try to get help with parental/authority issues, but that’s a separate personal issue).

It’s called freedom of choice.

History has shown us time and time again that such freedoms are hard won and often all too easily surrendered.

@artemus_5 ,

Great post.

I like to believe that distance does tend to give you a better perspective.

The over idealistic inexperienced young though, will have to learn for themselves.

As many of us had to.


Great to see that amongst us are folks such as yourself with long memories. Nowadays, I’m having trouble recalling details of what happened last year...I’m blaming information overload.

Anyway, that’s why it’s important that everyone gets a say.
