I see a red door and I want it painted black.
No colors anymore I want them to turn black.
A rolling stone......starts an avalanche :)
Mick Jagger is The Devil. He said so himself.
Keith Richards (RIP) the best Zombie of them all.
Most people won't get this, but one of the coolest moments on TV for a long time was on a pretty forgettable show, a few years back, called Joan of Arcadia.
It was a moralistic show that was setting up the main character, Joan, to oppose the minions of Satan in Portland, Oregon, or someplace in the Pacific Northwest. (Maybe old Nick enjoys a lot of rain?)
At the end of one season, a brand new character came onto the set, walking down a mountain in the rain. HE had just saved a lost boy and was greeted as a hero.
Then they started playing "Sympathy for the Devil". As soon as Mick came out with his first YOWP, it got my attention and all my kids. We all knew, without a word being spoken, what he really was.
Except my wife who doesn't like the Stones. She didn't get it, and was so annoyed with the rest of us.
A great moment.
Joan of Arcadia was a great show. So much promise. I was pissed that it wasn't renewed.
No. :(
Let's begin again.
I see a red door and I want it painted black.

There was a Vietnam tv show Tour of Duty that used Paint it Black for the theme song.

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
^Good! You got it. ;D
We can do this! Whoever wants to play join in. Let's start again, but remember keep to the lyrics. No other talking. :)
I see a red door and I want it painted black.
No colors anymore I want them to turn black.
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black,
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts.
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black.
Mmm...mmm....mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm....mmm
Repeat
forgot the words gus? :)
Boobies.
And what a great word that is, steelie.
Booby booby boo, boo booby booby, booby booby boo....although I can't remember how the tune goes
LOL. Let's try again. Not easy is it? :)

Hold up....the above mmms are indeed part of the lyrics...I may have broken into them a bit early though if we count Mick's screaming towards the end of the song.
Can I make a request?
FREEBIRD!!!!!

I want to see it painted, painted black, black as night, black as coal
I want to see the sun, blotted out from the sky
I want to see it painted, painted, painted, painted black...yeah!
;D

Don't worry Gus, you didn't cause the fail.

Definitely, if we can make it through Paint it Black first. ;D
But if everyone wants to change gears we can do that too. I'll give the honors of restarting to someone else though if we try another attempt to close out Paint It Black.
Given Arctic's and Pop's poo pooing all over Flock of Seagulls, I am going to refrain from getting into a Paint it Black/Freebird debate. Paint It Black has been one of my favorite songs since I became aware of it as the theme song from Tour of Duty as posted above and he Stones one of the first bands I ever loved. Skynyrd...not so much :)

Paint it Black is a great song. I'd put Gimme Shelter and Can't You Hear Me Knockin' ahead of it, but not by much. :)
Ready Steady Go!

You gotta love live TV in Black&White.
^Great recording. That song is in my blood!
I like this in particular because it is live.
On live TV anything can happen. In this case, Mick got a little carried away with the microphone, and you can hear that it is cutting in and out near the end.
No re-takes in those days.
I wish I could be more like what I think Mick Jagger is like...supremely confident, devil-may-care attitude, strong writer...
Watching the 'Canes-Sabres game and there was a stoppage around the 6-min mark in the 3rd where the organist started playing Paint It Black. Totally sounded out of place but made me think of this.

I would hold off on anointing him a strong writer. Have you ever listened to his solo garbage? Absolutely horrendous. Embarrassingly bad. The sort of thing you get douche chills listening to. Putrid.
What do you really think?
He is not in the undecided category. Nice and cold today isn't AB?

Oh yeah, it's lovely out there. My morning walk was held to half an hour today.
My car was a sluggish start. Should have plugged it in. Bright sunshine now!
ya the morning was horrible here in south florida.
I woke up and had to wear shorts to work after scrapping all that damn sunshine off my window.
Right now, the wind chill outside is dipping as low as -40 C (also -40 F). In 2 days, it's expected to be about -3 C (26.6 F) outside with sun.
Ah, Alberta in the winter. :o ::) :D
