The Rolling Stones celebrate 50 years in rock

By Richard K. Barry

It wouldn't be right to miss the opportunity to note The Rolling Stones' 50-year mark as one of the top bands ever in rock 'n' roll.

A CBC story notes the following:

The band touts July 12, 1962 as the inaugural Rolling Stones performance, with the group — then comprising Jagger, Richards, Brian Jones, Ian Stewart, Dick Taylor and Tony Chapman — taking the stage of London's influential Marquee Club with a name inspired by a Muddy Waters song.

I don't know that I have a favourite song, but "Paint It Black" is up there.
