...Pepper's was the recognition of the problem and the Beatles spent themselves exploring it. The Stones are too cagey for that and Let it Bleed comes whole, with the problem both stated and then briskly, matter-of-factly solved. Thus "Monkey Man"-the song of assured salvation, utter contentment. In Which The Messrs. Stone (Sans Brian) Express Their Complete Satisfaction. Followed immediately by "You Can't Always Get What You Want, but if you try you just might find you can get what you need." Lesson: You can always get what you need . Moral: You had best look...

...face of it, the Stadium is an utter economic waste of resources, being in profitable and honest use only five to six days a year for football (exclusive of some Thanksgiving Day use by schoolboy football), a few track-meets; and, of course, nowadays, "ad hoe" use for participatory democracy, and other quasipolitical activity. And, Oh, yes-for lease to Miss Joan Baez (I presume and indeed hope that it was, leased, and that some money went to Harvard), for purposes were surely commercial...
