We have to choose very carefully where we go

I read Andy Pegg’s e-mail to Theories, Rants in MOJO 336 with interest. I was also standing in St Albans market, outside Our Price, in probably 1981, just in time to hear the start of Under My Thumb from the Stones’ Still Life album coming from the record shop (at a volume unachievable by most of us at the time), and in particular when Charlie Watts comes in after the first few bars. Like Andy, it felt like a formative rock’n’roll moment, and I will never forget that experience of passion for music. So thank you the Stones, and especially Charlie Watts.
