The older guys really got it all worked out

I watched 'Gimme Shelter' last night, terrific film, and one of the few chances to see footage of Gram Parsons.

Here's another, of the Flying Burrito Brothers titting around on a boat, singing 'Older Guys', with Gram wearing a foul check jacket and a very ill-advised hat.

And while we're at it, 'Sticky Fingers' is a blinding album...and the intro to 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking' is bleedin' marvellous! after the first dirty, ragged guitar line, a cry of 'yeah!' is heard in the background, Jagger presumably...

'Yeah, you got satin shoes
Yeah, you got plastic boots
Y'all got cocaine eyes
Yeah, you got speed-freak jive'

Jagger just about gets away with that 'Y'all'...

Charlie's good tonight, inee?
