Some things never change: Keith plays a Telecaster (a black one) on the version of “JJF” that opens the concert featured in “Shine A Light.”

1968 – The most significant year of the last half of the 20th century.

Aretha – The most significant soul singer, ever.

The Stones – The world’s greatest rock and roll band, ever.

Aftermath – The greatest rock album, ever.

Dean Martin – Must have been out-of-his-head drunk when evaluating the Stones.

Thanks for the memories, and reminding us that, “The musical roots of these English lads —blues and rhythm and blues— lay deep in American soil.”

My dear Canon T:

Your video exegesis is as excellent as your taste is refined.

You noticed and accurately interpreted every nuance of David Letterman’s body language at the tailmost end of my earlier RHCP post.

And now you have precisely identified that smug sneer just barely bordering on a smile that led fathers from St. John’s Wood to Knightsbridge to consider locking up their daughters — well aware that “moving in with mother” was more likely to end up being the line of least resistance rather than the last stand.

And despite your modest deferral to Comrade Nedelkoff and myself, your skillful play of the beige Telecaster trump puts you far out in front of the pop culture sweepstakes.

This post: Whoa. The first Stones song I heard, at camp, was “Play With Fire,” and here it is. I can only imagine how frightened the parents of the industrialized world were while viewing that bizarre video — the way Mick smiled during the chorus. I’d always wondered about “JJF,” and there are the answers. Thank you, thank you. One thing: Keith’s guitar talk notwithstanding, he plays a beige Telecaster in both the ‘68 video (even scarier for mom and dad) and the classic Aretha clip. Guess his performance equipment was different from the recording.

Whoa.
