...Stones new album, "Their Satanic Majesties Request." The Stones' album has its own little puzzle, which has a number of possible solutions. Why shouldn't the two be connected? The man in blue with only his back showing on the back cover of the album is, after all, Mick Jagger, not Paul. The Beatles are hidden in the three dimensional picture on the Stones cover. This interesting mutual exchange could have gone deeper than the mere covers of the albums. Our analysis of the Stones album is continuing...
...STAGE at the Boston Tea A local group called Quill has just finished its good-to-dreary slot with a bang-up African number. The Jeff Beck Group now quickly marches in, Mick Waller at the drums, Jeff Beck prophetically brandishing his guitar. The singer Rod Stewart in burnt sienna flush velours pants that fit tight, an ornate silver cross hanging from his neck, has slender features and a bouffant hair-do and an impish grin. Ron Wood, on bass guitar, stakes out his area and the music flares like a newly struck match. Stewart sings "Rock me baby/Keep-on-rocking-me-baby/ Rock...
...triumphant index finger high over his head. He 'plays' a long beep and then a long deep wavering note. Stewart sings slow blues style, "My baby, she knows how to spread her wings."

He predicts, "the Stones will stand the test of time better than the Beatles. They're much simpler, you know, and they say a lot more than the Beatles with their highly contrived messages. Its just like Dylan, he can say in a few words what it would take Janis Ian a whole song to get at. I've only recently begun to listen...
...cool spring night at Yankee Stadium, Mickey Mantle, 36, leaned into a high fastball and belted it into the rightfield stands. The Yankees went on to lose the game to the Cleveland Indians, 3-2, but The Mick's blast was a victory of its own. It was his 522nd homer in 17 years as a Yankee, and it moved him past Ted Williams into fourth place on the alltime list, behind Babe Ruth (714), Willie Mays (569) and Jimmy Foxx...
