    They stick to the Classics, which is promising.
    My hope is they'll get enough buzz to get on the same bill as The Jonas Brothers, then once they're within striking distance backstage, Sasha will go all UFC on the three of them, beating them with a tambourine within an inch of their useless, callow, wasted lives.
    Guz can stand approvingly over the melee, smirking, while strumming a ferocious, acoustic version of I Wanna Be Your Dog. #jannwenner

    "Me and Bobby McGee" sounds like it's from a "rap session" scene from some early '70s TV movie. The only thing missing is Bradford Dillman looking on, eerily.

    "Dead Flowers" is my all-time favorite RS song ever, for so many reasons.

    These kids did it kind of emo/folkie/womyn's music festival style, which makes it a completely different thing -- not a bad thing, just different.

    See also, "Dear Doctor," which comes next on the celestial RS mixtape. #jannwenner

    @If_I_Had_a_Poodle: True true true. I adore the lyric,

    "Well when you're sitting back, in your rose pink Cadillac
    Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day,
    Ah'll be in my basement room..
    With a needle and a spoon."

    Such adroit social commentary!

    I'm a major Stones fanatic, and I can never decide which is my favorite album--"Sticky Fingers," or "Let it Bleed." I go back and forth.. #jannwenner

    Townes Van Zandt's cover of Dead Flowers is the only one that matters. It's in the Big Lebowski. The song requires a degree of believable pathos in the singer, or else it doesn't work. After all, this song is about being poor, alienated, and heroin-addicted. It's really bizarre to see privileged ego-vacuums trying to ape the artists that (hypocritically or not) consciously positioned themselves AGAINST such entrenched privilege. Ironically, the history of Rolling Stone magazine neatly encapsulates this cruel circle. #jannwenner

    Meh. They took all the fun out of "Dead Flowers." That's why the Stones don't make for good covers. Everyone wants to take them seriously when they were always tongue-in-cheek. #jannwenner

    @Foster Kamer: Oh, but it was Mick who wrote 'em lyrics to "Wild Horses.." And that "Wild horses couldn't drag me away" chorus verse was allegedly precisely what Marianne Faithfull said to Mick when she woke up from a suicide attempt coma spurred on by Mick being a mega-dick to her. At least that's what olde Marianne recounts in her autobiography, Faithfull.. (A fine, supremely entertaining read, btw.) #jannwenner

    The funny thing about Clooney saying that is that, you know, the guy's honestly saying that. Apparently he had a pet pig and he was devastated - like, devastated - for a while. #whitneyhouston
