The Rolling Stones have been a recent obsession of mine. It seems as if every song they make is a chart topper. All of my older family loves the Stones and have somewhat persuaded me to listen to them. Originally, the band had six members, but their manager said six was to much and they can only have five members, so they cut their pianist. Then there was Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Brian Jones, and Bill Wyman. Mick Jagger is one of my favorite singers and brings a rasping sort of voice. Keith Richards is also one of my favorite guitarists who grew up in a regular blue-collar home.
The Stones started is Dartford, England but gained a larger reputation in London. Jagger and Richards were childhood friends, but then grew apart. Later, in their early high school years they met again when Jagger had a pile of blues records under his arm. Richards was totally interested and couldn't wait to listen to them with his old friend. Then they started covering some of the songs, and it was history from then on out.
