Video: The Rolling Stones Get Introduced by Roy Orbison in 1965
by Josh Hart

I don't know what's gotten into the Rolling Stones, who have been posting all sorts of amazing archival footage on YouTube lately, but I like it.

The latest gem the Stones have shared with us is a TV clip from 1965 which features rock and roll legend Roy Orbison introducing the band on Australian TV.

The band then go on to perform "Walking the Dog," "Heart of Stone," and covers of Howlin' Wolf's "Little Red Rooster" and Chuck Berry's "Around And Around." Watch the clip below.

It's hard to believe, but Mick, Keef and crew are celebrating their 50th anniversary as a band this year. According to guitarist Ron Wood, while a tour hasn't been confirmed just yet, the band are "on the verge" of touring this year.

Gazza,
Please delete this offensive political cartoon mocking the tragic Italian cruise ship disaster.
Brainy

.....and Mick must have been singing really loud.

There wasn't a mic anywhere in sight!

Hey! Glad to see you grew a set, Brainy-Boy, and address me directly rather than crying to an administrator.
Something that may have gone over your head is the similarity between that captain & Obama, in that they both run away from problems and tend to blame others.
I think most people who didn't like the cartoon simply ignored it and perhaps read my posts & moved on.

Enjoy the new pic, and I sincerely hope that ride doesn't show up at your doorstep.

Looks more like the Republican health care plan:  1)Don't get sick; 2)If you get sick, die quickly.  Gazza, I feel compelled to respond to Edith's attacks on the President; if you'd delete them, I wouldn't need to respond.

Now that Edith has changed his sig pic, I call on FPM to take down his HIGHLY OFFENSIVE
sig vid of a Monkey preaching from the Bible.

Mocking religion may be de rigueur in certain circles, but there are plenty more where it is not.

Feel free to delete me at any time, Gazza and Voodoo.

I wonder how loud some of you would scream if I used as my sig pic, a vid of
a braying ass reading from the Koran????!!!!!!!

just sayin.........................

This is not about politics; it's about having and showing respect to those who have Faith in a
higher power and do not ever intentionally use it for any other purpose than the common good of all mankind.
Somehow this is mocked??? Very disappointing.

IMO, a signature picture is a subtle way of giving people a glimmer of who you are and what you might be like.
I see a difference between that and constantly espousing political views within the text of someone's posts.
If you happen to not like someone's sig pic, try reading his/her posts and then decide if you want to give that person any credibility.

We're all here because we have a common interest, but damn, we're not always going to be totally happy with everything.  

What would Roy say?
