  • Stones teen fan mag love!

    I loved the teen fan mag talk! I feel like that is an area that hasn’t been touched upon in the lengthy Stone’s history. So, pretty awesome to hear. I can’t wait to read the work!

    Overall, I really love this podcast. The host and guests are down to earth! Best Stones podcast out there!

  • Glad you’re back!

    A most welcome surprise…listened to the episode and immediately revisited Emotional Rescue. An often overlooked release. I remember it was a bit of a let down following Some Girls.

  • Yes! First time

    I laughed out loud when you described seeming them and having a hard time believing that they were real, and in the same building.

    I had the same sensation. When I saw them for the first time in 1978. It was not only my first time seeing the Stones, but it was my first concert.
