  2. You are a Mick Taylor fan? A buddy of mine shared a story with me. Occurred four years after Taylor left the Stones. My friend worked as a bouncer at Up And Under on Brady Street in Milwaukee. Dive bar with a small stage; the neighborhood hadn't yet suffered through gentrification. Mick Taylor was the scheduled entertainment one night. The basement of the club served as the green room. I don't remember a poured concrete floor at the time. The building was over one hundred years old so it may have been the original dirt floor and timber and stone walls. On the top of a filthy old washing machine used for laundering bar towels, Mick Taylor was sorting out pills and preparing a line of coke or a speedball. My friend had to help him upstairs to a barstool on stage. The set lasted forty-five minutes and that was it for the evening. Hailed a taxi and carried him out to the car. After the Stone's American Tour 1972 concert, I next saw Taylor in Chicago in 2013 with the Stones as a guest artist. Played on Midnight Rambler and Satisfaction. Really great. Strange that he hadn't been included on Honky Tonk Women as he'd been the one to convince Mick and Keith it was a slow blues song. Then, a few years later, in one of those Glimmer Twin twists when we'll never know if it was truly an oversight or if Mick and Keith intentionally slighted Taylor: https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/658838/Rolling-Stones-forgotten-Mick-Taylor-odds-world-best-known-rock-band
  3. I think they meant the 1960s. Label from aerosol can of soft drink concentrate from 1967. IIRC the television commercial featured a kid with a secret agent-type attache case. <img>http://imgur.com/a/hM5Mw</img> Adidas Cross Country II circa 1974. <img>http://imgur.com/a/fVELB</img>
