Rolling with Mick

April 16, 2008 By: User Imagerollerkaty (Who am I?) Category: RickRoll, The Rolling Stones 4 Comments →

I have a confession to make.

I have never actually listened to the Rolling Stones before.

I know, shocking isn’t it?

Inspired by the new Martin Scorsese film on the Rolling Stones, Shine A Light, I decided it was time to actually sit down and acquaint myself with their music. So, Mr. Rollerblog downloaded Hot Rocks from eMusic (that’s right, Rolling Stones are now available on eMusic) and I spent all day yesterday Rolling with Mick.

(Not to be confused, of course, of Rolling with Rick or Rickrolling (v) - the act of tricking an unsuspecting reader into clicking on a link that will take them to a video of the 1987 Rick Astley song “Never Gonna Give You Up.”)

As it turns out, I’ve heard pretty much every Rolling Stones song on the Hot Rocks album at one time or another. I’ve just never connected the music with the Rolling Stones.

And what do you know - I like the Rolling Stones! Even *better* than Rick Astley :)

We are planning to check out the movie, Shine A Light, this weekend at the Imax theater.
