If there were any question you could ask each Stone, what would it be? This might require some thought, so I hope posters don't take this has a normal TTM trivial bullshit poll.

Charlie - Where did you come up with the idea for the cowbell on HTW?
Keith -  
Mick -
Woody-
Wyman-
Taylor - Why did you REALLY quit?

i don't think that was a cowbell.  i heard it was a chop stick tapping on a glass...at least thats what someone told me.

anyway, i would probably direct a question towards keith richards.  i'm not sure what i'd ask him but i sure would thank him for all the great tunes.

Glass? Possible I suppose. But I would have thought glass would have a "lighter" sound.

instead of wasting your $ at a stripclub go buy some chineese food and get some chop sticks and go home and try it...listen carefully and you will see.

Waste?????? Strip Club money is never a waste. Well ....when invested properly.

It's a cowbell.  Obviously.

I'm kinda partial myself to the private room lap dance option on the way home from work.  It's kind of an investment in your marriage. The old lady looks alot prettier when you get home.  :D

175 dollars would buy a lot of chineese food.

Cowbell it is  :warhorse

We've never played an intro to Honky Tonk Women live the way it is on the record. That's Jimmy(Miller) playing the cowbell and either he comes in wrong or I come in wrong - but Keith comes in right, which makes the whole thing right. It's one of those things that musicologists could sit around analyzing for years. It's actually a mistake, but from my point of view, it works. - Charlie Watts, 2003

"It's one of those things that musicologists could sit around analyzing for years."

Yes it is.

It is also, in my opinion, the truest essence of the Stones sound in all of their catalog.
The fact that it is a mistake only makes it more so.

Which one of you got in on with Margaret Trudeau, which made Canadian PM Pierre so mad that he got Keith busted?

That's one thing I dig about the Stones. They get to fuck all kinds of girls. Even politicans wives, upscale models, talk show hosts etc.. I mean if you're a Rolling Stone you get to fuck about any woman you want. :blankfriggingstare1

In Ronnie's book, he says it was him, I remember the cover of McLeans (A Canadian Mag) had a cover of Margaret & Mick sitting, with Mick in his housecoat & what looked like a joint in his hand (it sure wasn't a cigarette) in '77.

except for madonna

There are multiple sources that have said it was our Ronald that put the twinkle in Maggie's eye.

Maggie was just a wee bit of a Stones ho tho...she was partying with them all.
She partied with them in Toronto when Keith got busted in '77.
Accordng to my sources deep, DEEP in the Stones camp, she went to El Mocambo show March 4th and held a party for the band at the Harbour Castle afterward.
After the show on the 5th, she left with them to a private party.
Pierre was left beating the bishop apparently.
As the great Charlie Watts observed, "I wouldn't want my wife associating with us"
Mick stated "Someone said she wanted to come to the gig, so we took her."
Nice!
That Mick - he has a way with words.

The Stones then moved on to NYC on March 9th '77 (except for Keith, who had some bidness to attend to).
The Daily News reported that Ronnie was doggin' the missus.
I believe she just up and followed the Stones to NYC once they left.
I recall Pierre demanding she return and cancelling all of her social calender right after!

He he.
Stones related offenses!!

Often wondered if "politician's garish wives with alcoholic cunts like knives" was any reference to her.

They can't answer...at least without an ouija board.

Mick - How much did your weave cost?
Bill - When you picked up Mandy for your first date, how could nothing inside you say "this is just wrong"?
Ronnie - Were you referring to some other Ronnie Wood throughout your book?
Keith - Does your swollen right index finger drive the wife to ecstacy during foreplay?
Charlie - Why is it that your hair has turned grey but everyone else in the band's has miraculously maintained its normal color?
Taylor - what's the blue plate special tonight?
