LETTERS, Page 9ROCK ROLLS ON
The Rolling Stones may be growing old, but they're not
gathering any moss."
Louis M. Philips
Albany
After all these years, the Rolling Stones finally made it to
the cover (MUSIC, Sept. 4). Now they can sing, in truth, "TIME is
on my side/ Yes it is."
Mary C. Dixon
Alexandria, Va.
Is it Just My Imagination or are they truly the greatest
rock-'n'-roll band in the world? It's Only Rock 'n Roll, but when
the Stones do it, it's much, much more.
Daniel J. Herbert
Chicago
I am a 14-year-old who respectfully disagrees with your article
on '60s rockers making it big now. I admire the old rock groups the
way I do George Washington, but today really belongs to musicians
like U2 and Metallica. Their music is high energy, and the lyrics
are strong and meaningful. Current music is not all sex, drugs and
Satan. I don't know anyone under 30 who would pay $28.50 to watch
a rock dinosaur relive its past.
Thomas Markley
Worcester, Mass.
In your Rolling Stones story, Jay Cocks made the comment, "Ask
what made more sense to your life: any novel by V.S. Naipaul or any
record by Bob Dylan." Any record by Dylan? Though I love Bobby, as
long as the times keep a-changin', I'll stick with Naipaul's vivid
social and political analysis rather than with Dylan's boring
middle age.
Bret Falk
Los Angeles
The Rolling Stones have saved my life more than once. They
reflected the energy, passion and truth I was trying to live while
rock 'n' rolling. And when it all came crashing down too hard, I
could turn them up and they wouldn't let me down. Their new album,
Steel Wheels, is a brave and joyous testament to aging and growth
over death and denial. It's Only Rock 'n Roll, but I live it with
the Stones.
