Viva Los Rollings
February is the month where there’s not much happening on a Sunday afternoon because baseball hasn’t started and Tom Brady is still celebrating a title before he gets to work on going back to the next super bowl.
Kathy went to Bingo. Jake went to work. Sam was lost in his college basketball studies.
“The Rolling Stones: Ole, Ole, Ole: A trip through Latin America”
“That looks promising.”
I flipped it on.
Awesome!!!
The Stones shows of 2016 in Argentina, Peru and Cuba were featured.
Mick & Keith sat on stools and did a country version of ‘Honky Tonk Woman.”
But they showed the band behind the stage.
They’re just old musicians now. There weren’t any drugs, women or bottles of booze. Just men doing their jobs.
Keith and Ronny can play those magical riffs in their sleep.
No one moves like Jagger.
He knows all the words to some of the greatest songs ever written in rock and roll.
Charlie is still there, keeping the beat.
Just incredible that they’re still doing it...
...but it wasn’t about them.
The people of Cuba used to be jailed for listening to the Stones!
Jailed!!
“I got caught listening to ‘Jumping Jack Flash’ in a park in the 60’s,” one guy said. “They arrested me! I went to jail!!”
The crowd was massive.
People were in tears.
Mick was speaking Spanish.
They were all singing along.
If you get a chance, watch it...
...they showed “Satisfaction” in its entirety.
It’s a song that was written before I was born...
...tore the place apart.
And it made my heart sing.
Music is such a universal love. It’s magical. It’s mystical.
“Viva Los Rollings!” One of the sobbing Cuban men screamed.
Beautiful Sunday afternoon.
