Why dont you talk?
The Stones started their second North American tour in Montreal in 1965. Mick came to our house the day of the first concert April 23 at my mother's invitation. I had just turned 14. It was Easter Vacation. He was wearing a brown corduroy jacket and was very neat and polite. My mother said why dont you go down into the basement to talk? We went downstairs. He stood by the door to the garage. I was leaning against the ping-pong table opposite the piano. He said.......I said..........
Then everything went blank for 50 years.
Montreal had been the jazz capital of Canada but it was not the place for the Stones to explode into the band they would become. There was too much anti British sentiment in Quebec. But the London-based Tavistock Institute was the brains behind McGill's MKULTRA program and they promoted rock and roll as mass mind control.. The Stones needed to escape that stifling control. Micks early songs show the influence of Psychiatry on his thinking.
Chicago was about music. Black music. They found themselves in Chicago and escaped the mental hospital which was where Mick found his first job as a teenager.
Mick would come back to Montreal - the shows were often catastrophic. In 1966 the stage collapsed. In 1972 the equipment truck blew up. The closest I got was reading.about it the next day in the paper.
At 14 they wiped my memory so I didnt remember knowing Mick in childhood. My whole family was being controlled by the psychiatrists at McGill who even tried to poison my father. My mother became an invalid under the care of the same medical gang. The Stones song Family is a pretty accurate portrait of us in 1967, insectoids and all.
I would not want to have met Mick and Keith in 1973 when they were both strung out on cocaine. Next stop: Montauk.
I wonder what the real story is, behind Andy Warhol in 1976, when the Stones stayed at Montauk and Mick rented his house near the Point? How did he come to slash his wrist? What kind of supersoldier programming did they actually get there? Endurance training and extreme torture from childhood created yesterday's rock stars and the stadium culture borrowed from Nazi Germany- by the British who brought us the Invasion. Prove me wrong.
