Nigga loves New York almost as much as Anthony Kiedis loves California
>>130914853I actually found out like a few days ago that Rolling Stones are Br*tish for some reason
>>130914853I've always said the Stones have been an east coast American band since about 1969. Their last album with any britishness in it was Beggars Banquet
>>130914872>>130914883
>>130914853He was gay there and a fag in LA
>>130918868He allowed Satan to enter his body. Look at the way he struts around sassy af.Killer voice but you can clearly see the devil at work.
>>130914872yeah i always thought they were american same with the animals (im a trans zoomercoomer btw too)
>>130914883Keith especially was always an americaboo who just wanted to play the blues, and as soon as the Stones earned their untouchable legend status and were freed from any obligation to compete or prove themselves as either a commercial or creative force, that’s exactly what he decided to do.
>>130918957Keith has the weirdest Mid-Atlantic accent ever too, he speaks halfway between low class post-war London geezer, and a mid-century general American hepcat jive talk he picked up in the U.S., that was already outdated even when he was young in the '60sFascinating individual
Why do bongs love New York City so much?
>>130914853IDK, Shattered is hardly a love song to NYC.
>>130925707All American cities used to have an exotic allure to bongs of a certain generation. They grew up hearing about them only in romantic songs and western movies.
>>130925707He just says “New York” a fuck ton
>>130925707Some of them do. A bunch of other British rockers moved to LA. Robert Plant lives in Austin, the Bee Gees moved to Miami, and Rob Halford lives in Arizona.
>>130918957the British bands popular in the US back then weren't necessarily the ones popular over there. for example Led Zeppelin was almost exclusively an American phenomenon and played 75% of their live shows in the US. Brits had other stuff they were listening to back then especially the glam rock scene.
>>130927321Brits like power pop, they never connected with the whole hippie jam band scene. They didn't really have a hippie movement there and their counterculture in the 60s was a lot unlike the US one.
>>130927393in Europe it was mostly Germans and Scandis who got into the hippie thing
There are a surprising amount of Brits living in California, everytime I'm downtown I hear their accents. One of them manages my local supermarket and they still call the shopping carts "trolley's"
>>130927304if you lived on a small overcrowded rock where it rains constantly and they have 90% tax rates you'd find California the land of promise too
>>130914883England had jack-all for a popular music scene pre-60s except some novelty stuff and a few crooner-style singers like Vera Lynn.
>>130927479European music in the 50s was amazingly lame, it made Mitch Miller slop sound like death metal.
>>130927393This
>>130927418there's something in the Germanic character that lent itself more to back-to-nature lifestyles. most European nations were too into sophisticated high civilization stuff for that.
>>130929741No, germanics are just bigger ameriboos
