Tim told us that he began listening to the music of the Rolling Stones in the 1980s. This led him to exploring their back catalogue and also their musical influences, in particular the blues. There are now over 400 recordings of songs by the band, so he said this made his selection of three tracks very difficult. He chose Angie as it is a song of lament over the breakup of a relationship. He aid we all need to mourn over things we miss. He chose Its only Rock & Roll because it the Rolling Stones reminding us that their music is meant to be entertainment, not to be taken too seriously. He saw them live some years ago and was just astounded by their energy. The epic Sympathy for the Devil really needs to be listened to as the words are about the way we often blame the devil or God when bad things happen, when actually it is the fault of humanity.

Tonight’s playlist.

Huey Lewis & the News – Heart of Rock and Roll

Billy Fury – Halfway to paradise – this 1961 UK no3 was requested by Phyl.

Rolling Stones – Angie, Its only rock and roll, Sympathy for the Devil – chosen by Tim
