Disgraceland is a production of Double Elvis.

The Rolling Stones, their place in London society in the mid-60s, and the circumstances

leading up to and surrounding the arrests of both Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, are so

complex that I needed two episodes to properly tell this story.

If you're just getting hip to this now, I suggest you hit pause and go back to Disgraceland, episode 60,

or part one of the Rolling Stones swinging London's story,

where we discuss the band's prefab rivalry with the Fab Four,

London's fast-changing culture, the arrest of pop star Donovan,

the news of the world's axe to grind with the stones,

the influence of the Aristos, gangsters,

and spies, one escaped and won in the ranks. In this episode, we get deeper into the band's

bending of the law and social norms, as well as into the mold-breaking, great rock and roll music

that the Rolling Stones created. Unlike the music I played for you at the top of the show,

that wasn't great music. That was a preset loop from my Melotron called Cockadoodle Blues,

MK1. I played you that loop because I can't afford the rights to Windy by the Association.

And why would I play you that specific slice of easy, breezy

pop cheese could I afford it? Because that was the number one song in America on July 1st,

1967. And that was the day the conservative London Times released the editorial entitled,

Who Breaks a Butterfly on a Wheel,

effectively saving the careers of the embattled and likely soon to be imprisoned, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

On this episode, a jewel heist, a drug bust, a powerful axe to grind,

Mick and Keith behind bars, Brian Jones off the rails, and easy, breezy cheese.
