Q&A Request - Can you contact the Rolling Stones?
I was recently asked “if you can send original music to the Rolling Stones?” I thought I would address that question in this week’s posts. Unfortunately there’s not a direct way to contact the Rolling Stones, however I have found a few Alternatives on Mick Jaggers contact page found at Top Synergy.

I just finished watching the Rolling Stones newest video No Spare Parts and am left in a whirlwind of thought.

Keith Richards was back to receive treatment again, though this time it had nothing to do with his often borderline drug induced crazy lifestyle and everything to do with typical aging ailments. That’s right, Keith Richards is aging like everyone else. He recently had laser surgery to correct his vision problems.
The surgery took place in London before the Christmas holiday and Keith Richards has had a great recovery yet initially had to wear an eye patch, standard for laser eye surgery recovery. All in all, Keith Richards has pulled through another medical treatment and has come out on top. There has yet to be anything that can keep this man down.
Keith has lived a life that would’ve killed most of us. He has had more drugs in his system than most people can even imagine, in which he fought a long and hard battle to overcome. He recently turned 68 years old, an old man to any standards yet he continues to run around full of energy as if he were a young man of 20 or 30.

Keith Richards Blood Myth Busted
One of the strangest Rolling Stones myths is that of Keith Richards replacing his blood to kick his old Heroin habit once and for all. I’m not sure what’s stranger the actual myth or the fact that people believed it. I’m here to say once and for all the myth is just that a myth, it’s 100% false.

The Rolling Stones like many other rock bands have created numerous albums. I have always believe that in addition to great music and the ability to just rock it, the artistic thought that goes in to the album art is an important aspect of album popularity. If the album looks boring or stupid it probably won’t be bought and never be heard by many people that should be part of the target audience, so for this post I’m going to share with you my favorite Rolling Stone album covers.

Is it the Clothes that Make the Man?
Mick Jagger has been known for many things; his voice, his high energy concerts, his moves and even his lips. One thing that I have always thought was overlooked is his style; he seemed to always pull off whatever he chose to wear. For this post I thought it would be fun and entertaining to highlight some of Mick Jagger's taste in clothing, the clothing that he so easily brought to life.
Mick Jagger was well known to appear on stage in studded lounge suits as the one pictured. They could be worn in any number of colors and often were. On some occasions he would show up with a matching top hat. It didn't matter if he wore blue, pink or purple the crowds still screamed at the pure masculinity that he poured out on stage before his audience.
Some of Mick Jagger's famous looks are his choice in overcoats. He would sometimes choose overcoats with specific designs, vibrant colors and or at times wear a fur overcoat, such as this leopard fur overcoat shown here. Some of Mick Jagger's overcoats are so famed that several auction sites are selling pictures with him wearing them; some autographed, some not.
The most well known look that Mick Jagger was associated with, was his suit jackets. These were either worn as a complete suit, or often worn with jeans. Not only was he known for wearing suit jackets, he was also known to wear extreme bright colors; much like his choice of bright pink in this picture.
Mick Jagger pulled off any outfit he chose, there's no question that it was he that made the clothes and not the clothes that the man.
