Count me among those who believe that The Rolling Stones are the greatest rock and roll band in the world…still.
In recognition
of their 50th anniversary, in a series of four individual
interviews, NPR’s Melissa Block and Audi Cornish asked Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Ron
Wood and Mick Jagger to pick a song out of their archives to talk about. Keith
talked about Street Fighting Man, Charlie’s pick was Satisfaction and Mick
went with Gimme Shelter.
I liked Ron Woods pick best. He went with Dance Part 1. It's a song that gets you moving...
"I stuck up for myself, 'cause I picked a song that I
wrote," Wood says. "I thought, 'No one's gonna mention that.' But I
think people, when they hear that song, they love it — because it's really up,
and it gets everyone dancing."
Melissa Block said her favorite was Wild Horses.
Great stuff.
