This could be the last time, maybe the last time, I don't know, that we hear from him...
Wasn't Angie David Bowie's wife at the time? Something like that.
Yes, but Angie could run into trouble if she starts that up. Mick's not big on others using his songs; she'll get no sympathy from that devil.
Schroeder, you want to be a street fightin' man, but you can't always get what you want. When Angie wins it'll be a gas, gas, gas!
I'm a child of the '70s. I'm sure you've heard this expression - "If you can remember the 70s, you weren't living them".
Loved the Stones back then. Don't really care much about them now, just a bunch of old millionaires. The "Strolling Bones" as another poster here on FR said.
The friendship between David Bowie and Mick Jagger (and Angela Bowie's suggestion that it may have been more than a "friendship") led to several retroactive rumors concerning whom Mick Jagger was singing about in the Rolling Stones' 1973 #1 hit "Angie," a bittersweet (and presumably autobiographical) ballad about the end of an unsatisfying love affair. (Part of the speculation may have been fueled by Angela Bowie's statement on "The Joan Rivers Show" that when she when returned from a trip to find her husband and Mick Jagger in her bed, she thought that "they were composing 'Angie.'")
The most common interpretation was that Angie was Angela Bowie herself, with whom Jagger supposedly (also) carried on an affair.
Angela Bowie's relevations on "The Joan Rivers Show" led some to speculate that the eponymous "Angie" was not Angela, but David Bowie.
Another prominent rumor was that "Angie" was actually about Angela Richards, Keith Richards' daughter by actress Anita Pallenberg. (This was a rather silly rumor, given that Angela Richards was less than a year old when the Rolling Stones recorded "Angie." It isn't even likely that Mick Jagger simply used her name for the song's title, as she was originally called Dandelion by her parents until she insisted on the name Angela several years later.)
Yet another rumor had it that "Angie" was about Anita Pallenberg, who had flings with both Brian Jones and Mick Jagger in addition to a multi-year relationship with Keith Richards.
Yep, because You Can't Always Get What You Want, and I'm afraid he can't claim that "Time Is On My Side."
1860's - kinda, sorta, like you know (wo)man, just a little bit - shored up the argument that Mick is a relic.
Unless he's getting paid, like that horrible Ameriquest commercial I saw today, right?
You beat me to it.
Jeeze, I'm 2000 light years from home. (But at least I'm not a turd on the run)
Well, at least you will Not Fade Away (unless you Play With Fire.)
"Layla" was supposed to be about Eric Clapton's unrequited love for George Harrison's wife.
As long as you got the silver, Wild Horses couldn't drag you away on this Ruby Tuesday.
This could go on all night if I go downstairs and look at my albums.
Shuh-doo-bee.
Reminds me of the Reagan re-election campaign using Bruce Springstein's hit "Born in the USA". The lyrics were actually pretty critical of the US, but the only part anybody heard or cared about was the "Born in the USA" part with the metal guitar beat playing away.
Worked for Reagan.
This might work for Angie.
At least one neocon appreciates the publicity the rock star is giving the cult. :)
That one is true.
As a matter of law, does one need permission to play any song at a political rally?
