Some Girls
The Rolling Stones release my fav album from The Boys on June 9, 1978. The original album cover featured the likenesses of some fairly famous people who didn’t like the fact they were featured on a Stones album and sued. Their images were removed and album cover #2 was quickly reissued. It’s also the first album to feature Woody, who joined the band for good just before the recording.
And, it’s #269 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
The “Some Girls” tour was nothing short of epic. I got to participate on a Saturday in July at Soldier Field in Chicago. A weekend in Chicago with The Stones — magical.

Powerage
AC/DC release their fifth on May 25, 1978. It’s Keith’s favorite AC/DC album and it’s rock n’ roll in its most purest form — rock n’ roll damnation.
The First Grunge Record
The Rolling Stones record the double album while living at a villa in France. They’re living there to get away from British taxes – on ‘exile.’ Exile On Main Street is released on May 12, 1972.
It’s at #7 on Rolling Stone Magazine’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.”
Keefer hails it as … “the first grunge record.”

“Well, alright!”
Today’s a marquee day for Stones Fan.
On April 23, 1971, “Sticky Fingers” is released. Andy Warhol came up with the design for the classic. I bought it and another album in ’76 and promptly got grounded after I put it up on the wall of my bedroom. “Sticky Fingers” is full of all kinds of history.
It’s #63 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
