It may only be rock and roll. And I Iike it.

I need a break from the Felon Trump.

What better way than to write about some good old rock and roll. Taking a walk this evening I stopped at a Little Lit Library near my house and found the book ‘Parachute Women’ by Elizabeth Winder. The 2023 tell all about the Rolling Stones wives and companions is a play on their song from the 1968 Beggars Banquet album.

The Stones did a memorable performance of the song in London as part of the ‘Rock and Roll Circus’ in 1968. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones_Rock_and_Roll_Circus_(album) Listen to the lyrics as Mick Jagger rattles off a number of cities as he riffs through Parachute Woman.

The well received book goes into documentary style tabloid detail about the Stones well chronicled personal lives.

The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus is the fifth release of the Rolling Stones music by former manager Allen Klein‘s ABKCO Records (who gained control of the band’s Decca/London material in 1970) after the band’s departure from Decca and Klein. Released in 1996, The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus is a live album that captures the taping of their ill-fated 1968 TV special, which was not broadcast until almost three decades later.
