'Beggars Banquet'

I strongly suggest queueing up Jean-Luc Godard's Sympathy for the Devil. It's part documentary, part oddball film.

It follows the Rolling Stones in the studio working on the song "Sympathy for the Devil," which was on their album Beggars Banquet. The other half of the film are disjointed vignettes showcasing the artistic and culture underground.

It's still good because you get to see the Rolling Stones in their absolute prime working a song over and over until it finally becomes the finished the product.

In it, we see Charlie Watts play it cool, Mick Jagger taking over, Brian Jones high and disinterested and Keith Richards desperately trying to be cool. I can only assume it got him loads of pussy, but I'd almost opt to be celibate.

Jones is integral here. It was his last full effort with the Stones before he was kicked out for Mick Taylor and he (Jones) drowned in the pool. Jones provided back-up vocals, mellotron, slide guitar, harmonica, sitar and tambura. The dude was useful.

It should also be noted that this album art was censored and the Stones were eventually forced to print a basic white cover art due to the depiction of a graffiti-filled bathroom wall in addition to the top part of a commode. Remember, the Mamas and the Papas were forced to hide their toilet. The 1960s were a tumultuous time, for sure.
