San Diego/La Jolla. When I was fourteen and my friend Carlos was just graduating high school, we started playing rock 'n roll. A partnership that lasted thirty years. Wood, (something to do with Ron Wood,) lent me his well-worn double album, "Let it Bleed," so I could learn "You Can't Always Get What You Want," on my Farfisa. I felt like a huge gap in my education had been filled. I'm not sure if I agree with the 1969 peg you put on it. (No fair wiki!) Wasn't "Let it Be," released in 1970?<br /><br />Of course, I had heard the radio hit version countless times. We always performed said version when the parties were just heating up. The unmistakable cowbell and drum head, the syncopated open G chords. I can't guess how many times. It was good to hear the acoustic version again after so many years. Many thanks. This tendency of Mick and Keith to poke fun at the American South presaged "Sweet Virginia," and later, "Far Away Eyes." After all, no state is home to more hicks and drawlers than California!Flying Juniorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098313953658606206noreply@blogger.com
