NEW! The Rolling
Stones in London Walking Tour launches on Thursday 5th May 2016!
Curated &
guided by the team that brought you the Rock'n'Roll London Walk, we'll be
prowling in the blueswailing, drug-busting, establishment-baiting footsteps of
the savage young Stones in their 60's pomp – from the studios where they
created to the shebeens where they, er, socialised – this walk provides the
ideal "bonus tracks" to Exhibitionism, the blockbusting Stones
retrospective at the Saatchi Gallery.
Meet at Tottenham Court Road station
Thursdays at 2:30p.m. STARTS THURSDAY 5TH MAY 2016.
Daily Constitutional Editor & Rock'n'Roll London guide Adam Scott-Goulding writes… As a countdown to the Rolling Stones in
London Walk I've picked 45 moments – tracks, busts, incidents, quotes – from the greatest
story in Rock'n'Roll. These are the moments that made the legend…
1/45. "We
piss anywhere, man." 1965
Mick Jagger’s
retort to petrol pump attendant who refused to let the Stones use his garage
rest rooms. The Stones proceeded to urinate against the wall of the garage
forecourt in the Romford Road. The police were called and the offending Stones
were fined £5 each. The incident set
the swaggering, gloriously arrogant tone for the next 20 or so years.
Here's how the incident was reported in the Newham Recorder…
Street Fighting Men: The Rolling Stones in London Walking Tour begins on Thursday 5th May 2016 meeting at Tottenham Court Road Station.
