Give Me Shelter

      It's that time of the week, ladies and germs. MUSIC POST. One of the most influential bands in my life and probably rock and roll is The Rolling Stones. Nothing really tops some of their music, if not all of it. Mick Jagger was probably the prototype for the "frontman" in rock and roll. Although being one ugly mother, he rocked every inch of it. He had ladies lined up for days and still does. The Man just exudes swagger. Jagger swagger.


     Along with the other fire crackers in the band, they really wrote the book on how to live a rock and roll lifestyle. If it wasn't for them, we probably would be listening to different music today. I can belt out the words to almost every Stones song and I listen to them on a weekly basis. 



      Seriously, look at how Jagger works a crowd.

       Moving forward, if you haven't been up on times, Adele has pretty much become a house name in pop music. A diamond in the rough so to speak with haunting vocal talent that has fallen to the wayside in these troubled times of computer voices and pre pubescent teen idols. Hailing from Tottenham in the UK, reaching fame at only 19 years of age with a voice way beyond her years. The kind of voice that gives you chills when she hits her high notes. The good kind of chills.



       Now the director of photography for this video was ridiculously talented. I couldn't come up with something this creative even if i dreamed for several weeks. The video gels perfectly with the mood of the song which follows the good feelings that are so scant after a break up.


      You may find yourself asking, what do the Stones and Adele having in common. I'll respond by saying this.



      I don't know why i didn't see it before because the songs come together so wonderfully. Really big props to Daft Beatles who actually put these two together. Almost reminds me of peanut butter and jelly.
