The Rolling Stones 50 years anniversary..My thoughts..

Its 1965,l am a hick who has just arrived to the U.S from Cuba.Can't speak the language,and living in New York City. One day walking on the streets l hear this music coming out of some record store, some guy screaming at the top of his lungs"Hey! You! Get off of my cloud ,Hey! You! Get off of my cloud" and that was it, l am hooked, finally l find out the name of the band..The Rolling Stones..That summer that's all you can hear in NYC,my Latin friends thought l was crazy,with my infatuation with that song,and the band.
The Beatles were great,but they wore suits on TV,and smiled too much, The Stones never smiled and wore hip clothes,they were the bad guys,attitude,and music that was right up there with the times,"Can't get no Satisfaction","Lets Spend the night Together",Sex Drugs And Rock and Roll,could have been their motto.What not to love? finally in 1969 l get to see them live two shows at Madison Square Garden,l was in heaven,after that l have seen every tour since,multiple shows at times,and their music has been the soundtrack of my life,in good and bad times,l can always find one of their songs that will fit my mood..So today on their 50th Anniversary,l just want to  say ...Thank,Mick,Keith,Brian,Charlie,Bill,Mick T,for all you have done for me....Facebook
