...Tattoo You, the music is raw, the message is clear and simple. The result may not be as consistently good as it once was, but it's the best you can get: the slicing sound of a slightly out-of-tune Stratocaster dissecting a simple bass line, the snare drum snapping on 2 and 4, and Mick Jagger offering, "I'll take you places you've never, never seen before, yaaaaaah." To love the Rolling Stones is to love rock and roll, because both are just right at just the right time and nothing more...

No matter. There is an excitement in a live performance that technical perfection cannot duplicate...
...night, with tent flaps open and the light of campfires flickering beneath the towering dark trees, a harmonica plays a mournful country-and-western air and young voices hum along. Guitars and a drum join in, changing the melody. "The corn is as high as an elephant's eye," the Scouts sing, none louder than a large contingent from Oklahoma. Their voices seem to reach the tops of the trees. If there are doubts about the move away from city Scouting, they pass into the night.
