Rolling Stones - Too Cool for School



This song is so cool, a classic from the Tattoo You album which was one of my favourites in the early 80's. 

There's Jagger, hamming it up for the cameras, a bottle of Jack Daniel's whisky on the piano, followed by his horrible dancing with Keith Richards. Charlie Watts the drummer looks like he is high on LSD or weed, Only Ronnie Wood is actually playing his bass guitar.

The whole video looks like a skit from Monthy Python, but that is the Stones 'devil may care, we don't give a sxxt' attitude which made them multi-millionaires and epitomised their sex, drugs and rock and roll subculture so prevalent in the 60s till the late 70s. 

The 80s was the years of Michael Jackson and his Thriller album. Really, if it comes to choosing, Stones and David Bowie will always be my top 2 acts of my younger days. Queen would probably be in third place.
