Agreed. Remarkable little song that still hits decades later.

Stones version is tingle-worthy. I always enjoy it, and the story of KR and RW listening to it every day for a month when it came out.

Wow. I couldn't have predicted how sad this news would make me.

I used to listen to "Drift Away" as little kid, years and years ago, in my mom's car. I knew all the words, and would sing along to any and all sundry.

Damn. Suddenly, my childhood seems that much farther away...
