Dreams are the touchstones of our character.
I grew up with a heavy diet of gospel folk and blues because those are kind of the cornerstones of traditional American music.
If you were the first person ever to design an application for the iPhone and you patented it you would be very very better off than we are right now you know? But you've got to be the first one to do it. So I figured that Led Zeppelin or the Stones were going to do it unless we just got on to it. So I got cracking with the guys from Apple.
I think when I was a kid and I was in England and it was all about The Stones The Who The Kinks and The Beatles and that's what my dad was into.
My first memory of the Rolling Stones is listening to 'Satisfaction' at a sixth-grade slumber party at a friend's house in Ankara Turkey where my family was living at the time. In the middle of our sleepover my friend's dad stopped the record when he heard the words 'girlie action!'
Courage is sometimes frail as hope is frail: a fragile shoot between two stones that grows brave toward the sun though warmth and brightness fail striving and faith the only strength it knows.
As life runs on the road grows strange with faces new - and near the end. The milestones into headstones change Neath every one a friend.
My dad used to love Steely Dan the Stones Jethro Tull and all that. There was always Steely Dan going in my dad's car but I remember The Royal Scam in particular because it has 'Kid Charlemagne' on it.
The Stones are a different kind of group. I realized that when I joined them. It's not really so much their musical ability it's just they have a certain kind of style and attitude which is unique.
As in nature as in art so in grace it is rough treatment that gives souls as well as stones their luster.
