Nice read! I don’t know why, but the funny visual of Ed Sullivan struggling to make a high-tech “VOICE” judge’s chair spin around comes to mind. Shampoo would have been the least of his worries!

Yeah, old Ed Sullivan was kind of creepy. I never could understand how that guy came to such prominence in broadcasting. Very interesting facts about the Stones. Learning so much about a band I always admired for sticking it out and not breaking up.

Maybe those lyrics were just too saucy for Ed and the gang at CBS. I’m hugely enjoying this series. Can’t wait to find out what happens next (even though it’s already happened).

These posts always entertain me with interesting bits of info from stories that I’ve never heard in detail–only the vaguely generalized version of events. Good stuff, keep it coming.

Fascinating stuff. You make it seem like you were actually there. Were you? And how do I get an advance copy of Part IX?

Thanks for reminding me of the many facts I had either forgotten or possibly never knew in the first place. I always loved the Stones. We used to buy their EPs from England back in ’68 because they weren’t available in the U.S. Keep up the good work!

Why do I feel entertained yet older when I read about these Brit Rockers mixing it up with Ed Sullivan? I was a pimply teen back then, but I can remember it so vividly! Great writing covering a fabulous time in music history, which is still going strong. The Stones should rename themselves “The Grateful Living!”
