1a canzone al giorno

Le strane simpatie dei Rolling Stones


Ieri pomeriggio super ascolto dei Rolling Stones e di conseguenza, oggi, canzone del gruppo di Mick Jagger e Keith Richards. Tra i vari pezzi ascoltati uno di quelli che ancora non ho postato e che è la canzone del giorno è "Sympathy for the Devil" del 1968 dall'album "Beggars Banquet". Su internet l'ispirazione per il brano è controversa e si divide tra la guerra del Vietnam e il libro "Il maestro e Margherita" di Mikhail Bulgakov anche se sembra quasi certa la seconda. Comunque ci sono diversi aneddoti anche sul testo della canzone che può essere interessante leggere e che trovate qui. Un bentornato quindi alle Pietre Rotolanti e un buon venerdì a voi!!!
