Damn, until just now, I always thought the lyric was "if only beatlemania had bitten the dust."

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Still, probably better received than Stones fans took to Prince in Oakland around the same time!

I saw Prince open for the Stones in L.A. in 1981. The bottles were flying at him and he left the stage after about 4 songs.

I remember he played his song "I'll Jack U Off" before leaving the stage, calling the crowd assholes.

Quoted from SkeebWilcox:

was playing "Safe European Home" in Heavy Rotation.

It will be 40 years to the day this Saturday that Give Em Enough Rope was released. Yikes. I always liked Safe European Home.

I remember the first time I heard their cover of Police and Thieves on the Stanford Univ station in 1977. I did a brief DJ stint on another college station in the 80's, playing stuff that you would never hear on commercial radio.

Terrestrial radio really sucks now. It's unbelievably shitty.
