i am reading Nick Kent’s new memoir, which is out in the UK. it’s called (greatest title of year so far) Apathy for the Devil. i am reading so much these days, literally two to three books at a time (flagging every other page with a pull off mini post it, a signal to go back and type out a point at a later date… a hell week, if the Bowie work was any indication, one that lead me literally to the bathtub, fully clothed as i could no longer do such monkey work at a desk, or vertical) that i should call this Jagger book i’m researching Atrophy from the Devil, as i am seriously worried about my muscles. need to get out and walk. have not had a drink or a cigarette in two weeks. does that mean i quit??? did i quit smoking and not realize it. shit man. anyway, the Kent book brought up an interesting point: the Rolling Stones are the world’s greatest rock n’ roll band because they are facially hairless. in the same way (this my addition) that the Yankees are the greatest sports franchise in history. “i loved the band’s first two albums like everyone else but had issues with their collective fashion sense and penchant for extravagant facial foliage. they were just too hairy for my taste… the band turned almost everyone in the rock milieu into budding grizzly adamses practically overnight… look at photos of paul mccartney during the Let it be sessions. or jerry garcia at the end of the sixties. you’re confronted with more hair than face. that’s why the stones were always the best looking rock act of that era. five members and yet no facial hair whatsoever. they always had their priorities well sorted.” that’s all this book writing shit is really. i need say 1,500 more theories like this. and a title. it’s a little daunting, and probably why i used to drink a lot more than i do now. the pressure to think. what on earth do i have to say about the rolling stones in 2010 that’s new? well, they are Bronx Bomber like, of course. it’s a start.
has anyone else noticed that Mike Damone plays Joan Jett’s guitar tutor in the Runaways movie?
