Exile on Main Street is my favorite album of theirs so I loved hearing about how it was made even though just reading about the kinds of chaos that ensued is giving me hives. because I am the way that I am, I think about the prospect of a Rolling Stones movie every day and I think the making of Exile would make for a very good Safdie-esque stressful watch with some fun musical sequences thrown in

I like hearing about how some of their more iconic songs were created. it's interesting that Gimme Shelter wasn't written with the intention of being a protest song of sorts. I also was enjoyed his discussion on the discovery of open tuning (though I don't exactly know what all of it means) and how that changed their music. so much good music is made by experimenting and not following the rules!

the way he talks about women makes me feel like I'm being hunted for sport a little bit but fork found in kitchen I suppose.

I'm learning a lot about different kinds of drugs and different high-class art people in London in the late 60s and I'm only paying attention a little bit to all of that. I'm mostly reading this because I want to hear about his beef with Mick.

going to age myself here, not sorry about it. but it’s amazing how physical media was almost a currency, at least back in the early to mid 60s. I think we take for granted how much music we have access to now via Spotify. it almost makes it feel less special?

what a guy. I’m always blown away when I think about how Keith and Mick knew each other when they were kids.

I feel like Keith painted a nice picture of postwar England in these first two chapters and I’m excited to read more. his understanding of his childhood is so interesting, he’s endured a lot of stuff people nowadays would find absolutely unacceptable. he also has nice words about being an only child

I’m actually so scared. this is so good and it combines a lot of my favorite #things in stories. but I’m so scared right now

something about the narrator using her heartbeat to figure out time is so beautiful to me

lowkey female lord of the flies? I should reread lord of the flies. this book also smells really good

took a break from this but I am back now. unfortunately just learned what a saphenous cutdown is

I did not watch the teaser for the Netflix movie adaptation for this I’m waiting until I’m finished 🙂‍↕️

fascinating read, especially now that I’ve been working in pediatric health equity research for a bit now

rereading this because it is one of my faves and I need to be excited about reading agaib

yahhhh this is very much taking me back to my AP psych days. thinking of my epic Mario poster I made back in that class. I love the brain and its various functions!

reverting back to my psych major days for a second

now why is there a reference to cocaine bear

FAKE DATING!!!!!! I’m happy that this isn’t following the same beats as the last Emily Henry book I read

NOOOOO henry and addie need to put their heads together and figure something out STAT I can’t do this

crazy cameo

I like invisibility as a concept but this particular version, where other people can see her and they just forget about her as soon as they look away, is turning out to be a nightmare! I like my normal life and I no longer want invisibility powers

gonna finish today or tomorrow probably. I like it but definitely some plot points I have to mull over

many many many thoughts…
