FotiniD, thanks! Of all the causes in all the world, he expects us to rally behind DISC ( Demand Immediate Socialized Collectibles)  So I decided I wanted to see how the 5-cockroach album cover might look... And for the lenticular version, they could be crawling around... So visitors to your home, seeing it on your coffee table or leaning up against something, get startled. You'd maybe even get a scream out of some of them lol  Also SEEMS MAYBE IMPORTANT I found (I did not create) the first indication that the Cockroaches are indeed swarming. I mean, they are very fast little buggers...
 Also today's Spanish-language headlines, translated by google... Medios Rioja: Released under the alias The Cockroaches it has revolutionized the Stones world and sparked fresh rumors of a tour and possible return to Argentina...Diario Alfil: These days, the music press is talking about nothing but The Cockroaches, a name that has been long used by the Rolling Stones, perhaps parodying "the Beatles". With this new single, they've overshadowed every other new release and are keeping millions of fans on tenterhooks, as if the passage of time hasn't been able to erase their distinctive mark......and from WELT in Deutschland The fact that the Stones chose this particular pseudonym has its own internal logic; because around 1963, when the group was gathering its first fans in London, another group calling itself "Beetle" had already triggered a hysterical mass movement, dubbed "Beatlemania" by the press.
Beetles and cockroaches were the crawling antipodes of the disinfectant- scented, spotless cleanliness and order that was the ideal of the 1950s. Incidentally, the groupies of the "Black Rebels," a motorcycle gang—all white, by the way—who terrorized the citizens of a small American town in Laszlo Benedek's film "The Wild One" (1953), also called themselves "The Beetles."
"Wild One" director Benedek was a Hungarian Jew and knew what it meant to be called vermin. For their extermination—there was Zyklon B. But as early as 1912, Franz Kafka, with a sense of foreboding, had his protagonist Gregor Samsa awaken from troubled dreams to find that he had been transformed into a "monstrous vermin thing", something between a beetle and a cockroach.**********************************************************
Also, via iorr, IT IS BEN WATERS ON PIANO!!!!! Also in Ben's facebook post, he used my RocksOff 1-cockroach jpeg !!!!! (granted: the Stones undoubtedly created it first, it was easy, I just guessed right) https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1648736506739661Also, just now, the latest statement by the President of DISC, with regard to the widespread disorder occurring in IORRaq, attempting to justify his controversial decision to impose sanctions on the notorious rebel group... "Finally it is The Rolling Stones who invented this marvelous idea of sending just four records to Chicago Illinois, a city of 3 million people, and a state of 11 million people, where they usually have two sold out shows at Soldier Field. Just calculate what percent 4 out of 11 million is. The answer is 0.00004%. That is why my people are freaking the fuck out. I mean, some of my people queued for hours, then the shop made a raffle, so that a random person way back in the queue would get the one and only record the shop had got! That is unfair and brutal!"
Also, today from Spain translated... Mariskal's Decalogue , a program hosted by Mariskal Romero on RockFM , dedicated a special edition to their Satanic Majesties. One of the special guests who participated in this Stones-themed tribute was Gay Mercader, the renowned promoter who first brought them to Spain in 1976. During the interview, he told Mariskal that in addition to strong rumors about Argentina, Las Vegas (USA), and London, a Spanish show might be added.
Mercader maintains a relationship with Keith Richards and is in contact with his wife, Patti Hansen : “From time to time, we send each other WhatsApp messages. Patti and I, because Keith doesn't have a mobile phone. In fact, it's very curious, every time I talk to Keith from a distance, it's because Patti has put me through to him.”
