Title: 60 years ago today, the stones first bust… 6 decades of "We piss anywhere, man…" Post by Voodoo Chile in Wonderland on Mar 17th, 2025 at 9:07pm
On March 18, 1965, after two shows at the ABC Theatre in Romford (East London), The stones (except Charlie) were fined £3 to £5 each for pissing on the wall of a London gas station
Bill Wyman wearing dark glasses at night asked, “Where can we have a leak here?", he was refused the use of the restrooms due to his appearance and language. According to Bill, from his book “Stone Alone: "Absolutely bursting to go, I returned to the car, where I explained what had happened, Mick took my hand and said, 'Come on, Bill, we'll find you a toilet.' Then Mick, myself, Joey Page and Brian returned to the attendant and asked him once more if we could use the toilet. He started screaming at us." So, Mick replied with the now classic "We piss anywhere, man…" and the Stones except Charlie, that was sleeping in the car, repeated the phrase singing and pissing in the wall. The police arrived immediately; the attendant described Wyman as "a shaggy-haired monster wearing dark glasses at night”, the Stones were charged and released Picture shows Charlie as we couldn’t find a picture of the rest pissing “somewhere”, or pissing "there"; Charlie was the only one who didn't piss the station |

West Ham magistrates court register for July 1965.
We know for Charlie but Keith was not involved too, and was just a witness at the court. Mick : We were all found guilty of using insulting behaviour, whereby a breach of the peace may have occurred. We were each fined £5, and ordered to pay 15 guineas costs. We all gave notice to appeal. I was also found not guilty on the other charge of using obsence language. The magistrates' chairman said, 'Whether it is the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, or anyone else, we will not tolerate conduct of this character. Because you have reached the exalted heights of your profession, it does not mean you have the right to act like this. On the contrary, you should set a standard of behaviour which should be a moral pattern for your large number of supporters. You have been found guilty of behaviour not becoming of young gentlemen.' |
