LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-DEC 12, 2018…MICK TAYLOR LEAVES THE STONES

buyprint@https://www.wolfgangs.com

ON THIS DATE IN 1974 MICK TAYLOR ANNOUNCED HE WAS LEAVING THE ROLLING STONES. MICK TAYLOR JOINED THE STONES IN 1969 AND SUPPLIED THE GUITAR LICKS ON SOME OF THE ROLLING STONES’ CLASSIC ALBUMS, INCLUDING ‘EXILE ON MAIN ST.’, ‘STICKY FINGERS’, AND ‘LET IT BLEED’.

HE WAS QUOTED IN A FEW MAGAZINES THAT HE LEFT BECAUSE HE WAS PROMISED SONGWRITING CREDITS FOR A NUMBER OF SONGS BY MICK JAGGER, AND THE CREDITS NEVER CAME.

TAYLOR IS REGARDED AS ONE OF ROCK’S TRUE GREAT GUITARISTS. SLASH CREATING TAYLOR AS ONE OF HIS BIGGEST GUITAR INFLUENCES.

THIS IS GREAT CONCERT FOOTAGE FROM 1969 WITH MICK TAYLOR AND KEITH RICHARDS EXCHANGING LICKS ON ‘STREET FIGHTING MAN’

LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-DEC 12, 2018…BLACK CROWES AT THE FILLMORE

I CAN TRULY SAY THAT THERE IS TRULY NO CONCERT EXPERIENCE BETTER THAN CATCHING A MAJOR ARTIST PERFORMING AT A SMALLER CONCERT VENUE. THAT WAS THE CASE IN 2010 WHEN THE BLACK CROWES KICKED OFF A WEEK’S WORTH OF SHOWS AT THE FILLMORE. PURE HEAVEN.

HERE’S GREAT VIDEO FROM THE SHOW THAT CLOSED OUT THEIR 2010 FILLMORE RUN

GIANT INDUSTRIAL SPOOL ROLLS DOWN THE HIGHWAY AS DRIVERS TRY TO AVOID IT

A field trip to the Holocaust Museum was met with one big obstacle in the road. About 25 students from the Mirus Academy along with their teachers and principal saw the driver of an 18-wheeler lose a giant spool. As you can see from the cell phone footage below the spool cut across lanes of traffic. It’s not the first time this has happened on a Houston freeway recently. On October 25th, Houston drivers dodged a giant spool during lunchtime and on November 12th, drivers maneuvered around two spools near the same area of the freeway. In this case, Houston police say the driver is cooperating and will likely be cited.

During the attack inside their home, Parrino, who was naked, chased the man around the home before pushing him to the ground and sitting atop him. While perched on the man’s face, Parrino allegedly directed him to “eat my p***y.” The man told police that while Parrino was on top of him, he was briefly unable to breathe and was “scared to death.” Added bonus: While the woman was sitting in the jail cell after getting arrested, she was hit with another charge after allegedly smearing fecal matter on the walls.
