Last week I downloaded the newly reissued Rolling Stones double album 1972 classic “Exile on Main Street” — a record I’ve loved for over 20 years but have never owned digitally (the one remaining tape in my car is a seemingly impervious cassette of Exile I bought in the late 80′s)

The two babies growing up in the industrialized world (San Fran, Tokyo) looked like they were on their way to becoming… well… (how do I put this delicately? After all, they’re just babies),,, wussies! Read the rest of this entry »
