We are being offered a lot of education about The Rolling Stones right now. Let’s break down this wonderful opportunity, 1 by 1.
Below we have a trailer for the 2012 GRRR LIVE! which was recorded in Newark, New Jersey. This show features iconic performances by the likes of Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, The Black Keys, Mick Taylor, John Mayer and Gary Clark Jr. This 2 CD, 3 LP (Classic Black and Limited Red) is available on Digital, DVD and Blue Ray it will be arriving February 30th and it can be preordered here.
The Rolling Stones Site is offering an amazing treat in that they are telling us the story of how they were financially finagled into exile - much as I have been. The album inspired by this frustrating experience is entitled Exile On Main Street which can be heard here.
Exile On Main Street can be streamed from here.
The Rolling Stones Experience on rollingstones.com offers many RELEVANT stories about the reality behind the songs we have all grown to love. I’m always very eager to hear the direct perspective from the artists themselves about the hidden hands that work together to make the lives of creative people more difficult for some bizarre reasons.
The Rolling Stones Experience can be accessed here.

Below we have a sample from the GRRR! Live concert which was filmed in 2012.
The Rolling Stones - Happy
Happy lyrics
The Rolling Stones
Well, I never kept a dollar past sunset
Always burned a hole in my pants
Never made the school mama happy
Never blew a second chance, oh no
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Always took candy from strangers
Didn't wanna get me no trade
Never wanna be like papa
Workin' for the boss every night and day
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love, baby, won't ya keep me happy?
Baby, won't ya keep me happy?
Baby, please keep me
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby, keep me happy
Baby
Never got a flash out of cocktails
When I got some flesh off the bone
Never got a lift out of Learjet
When I can fly way back home
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby, keep me happy
Baby, baby, keep me happy
Baby
Happy
Baby, won't ya keep me happy?
Baby, won't ya keep me happy?
Baby, won't ya keep me happy?
Baby, won't ya keep me happy?
Baby, won't ya keep me happy?
Oh, keep on dancin', keep me happy
Now baby, won't you squeeze it? (Happy)
Oh babe, you got to feel it (happy)
Now, now, now, now, now keep me happy
Come on now, keep me happy
Keep on dancin', keep me happy
Keep on dancin', keep me happy
Come on babe, keep me happy
We also have another wonderful look into one of my all time favorite Stones songs, Waiting On A Friend available here in English and SPANISH. What a great chance to take a fresh look at this TIMELESS classic about the great value of friendship and collaboration.
Waiting on a Friend lyrics
The Rolling Stones
Watching girls go passing by
It ain't the latest thing
I'm just standing in a doorway
I'm just trying to make some sense
Out of these girls passing by
The tales they tell of men
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on friend
Mmm a smile relieves a heart that grieves
Remember what I said
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend
Just waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend
Just waiting on a friend
Ooh don't need a whore, I don't need no booze
Don't need a virgin priest
But I need someone I can cry to
I need someone to protect
Ooh making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for youth
But I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend
Just waiting on a friend
Waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend
Just waiting on a friend
Waiting on a friend
