Lindsey's Facination with the Stones

Hell, he could do 10 more for all I care.

I wouldn't mind hearing a few more either.

Everybody's heard about the Scottish sheep farmer/dyslexic Stones fan who awoke one morning to find one his neighbors engaged in illicit activities with his prize animal, right?

He shouted, "Hey! MacLeod! Get offa m' ewe!"

Anyway, I'd like to hear Lindsey's take on that one...

Conveniently enough, Gotta Get Away, Blue Turns to Gray and Singer Not the Song are all on the Stones' December's Children album so that should get you up to speed. You'd be surprised by just how different they sound which is what I love. What's the point of a cover if you're not going to bring some vast originality to it?

After making a career of covering Dylan previous to that. And, I wouldn't exactly use the term "butchering"...I actually kinda like 'em. For their time, they were a pretty good band.

I'd like to hear lindsey's take on:

Honky Tonk Women

Waiting on a Friend

Let's spend the night together

Oh, and I HATE Miss You, but a Lindsey-take would be interesting, as would Jagger's Let's Work. (blergh-but not Buck's take!)
