I've got "2000 Man" by the stones cranked
"Don't you know? I"m a 200 man." I love the ending the best, used well in bottlerocket.

What stones tunes do you dig?

Edited on Sat Sep-10-05 12:22 AM by jane_pippin
right this minute, so right now "She said Yeah" is pretty high on my list.

Other dug tunes include: Paint it Black, everything on Out of Our Heads, Prodigal Son, Stray Cat Blues, Gimme Shelter, Let's Spend the Night Together, and everything on Exile on Mainstreet.

edit: OH and Beast of Burden. Duh, me.

5. Heard the new album yet?
If you are any sort of Rolling Stones fan at all, you gotta check it out.

A good chunk of the album is just Mick, Keith, & Charlie, and nothing against Woody, but there's something about them going back to their roots that just makes this record work. And Mick turns in some surprisingly great slide guitar performances.

4. So how has the Stones LSD influenced vision of the future held up......
....to current reality?

2000 MAN
(Jagger/Richards)

Well, my name is a number
A piece of plastic film
And I'm growin' funny flowers
In my little window sill

Dont you know I'm a 2000 man
And my kids, they just don't understand me at all

Well my wife still respects me
I really misused her
I am having an affair
With the random computer

Don't you know I'm a 2000 man
And my kids, they just don't understand me at all

Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy, proud of your sun
Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy. proud of your sun

Oh daddy, your brain's still flashin'
Like it did when you were young
Or do you come down crashin'
Seeing all the things you'd done
All was a big put on

Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy. proud of your son
Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy. proud of your sun

Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy. proud of your sun
Oh daddy, proud of your planet
Oh mummy. proud of your sun

And you know who's the 2000 man
And your kids they just won't understand you at all


Let's see.... our names aren't numbers in common conversation yet (THX 1138) but most databases know you by one number or another.

Most people who grow "funny flowers" these days use a hydroponic light system a little more sophisticated than the kitchen window sill.

And while I haven't had an affair WITH a computer yet, I've had a couple that started out with the help of one.

However, I most definitely am NOT proud of my planet right now :(

So I give Mick & Keith a B - for their predictions.
