Last week I was at SkyBlue's Rezz Day Party. Tim joined me later.
I loved the life
performances of the artists. Specially want to mention Coffee Jaworower.
A few days later
Sky did send this note and video.

As Sky already wrote that "Wild Horses" is a song by The Rolling Stones from their 1971 album Sticky Fingers, written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

Released as the
second US-only single in June 1971, "Wild Horses" reached #28 on the
Billboard Hot 100 chart. Although popular at the Rolling Stones' live shows,
"Wild Horses" has been released on only one live album—in a reworked
version on the 1995 acoustic/live album Stripped. This version was released as
a single in 1996. The song appears on a handful of the Stones' concert DVDs:
Bridges to Babylon Tour '97–98 (1998), Rolling Stones - Four Flicks (2004), and
The Biggest Bang (2007).
In 2007, Jagger's
ex-wife, Jerry Hall, named "Wild Horses" as her favorite Rolling
Stones song.
Wild Horses
Childhood living
is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I cant let you slide through my hands
Wild horses
couldnt drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldnt drag me away
I watched you
suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
Wild horses
couldnt drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldnt drag me away
I know I dreamed
you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I dont have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Lets do some living after we die
Wild horses
couldnt drag me away
Wild, wild horses, well ride them some day
Wild horses
couldnt drag me away
Wild, wild horses, well ride them some day
The album Sticky
Fingers is the ninth British and 11th American studio album and released in
April 1971.
I Specially want to mention the cover.
The album's
artwork emphasizes the suggestive innuendo of the Sticky Fingers title, showing
a close-up of a jeans-clad male crotch with the visible outline of a large
penis; the cover of the original (vinyl) release featured a working zipper and
mock belt buckle that opened to reveal cotton briefs. The vinyl release
displayed the band's name and album title along the image of the belt; behind
the zipper the white briefs were seemingly rubber stamped in gold with the name
of American pop artist Andy Warhol, below which read "THIS PHOTOGRAPH MAY
NOT BE—ETC." While the artwork was conceived by Warhol, photography was by
Billy Name and design by Craig Braun.
The cover photo
of a male model's crotch clad in tight blue jeans was assumed by many fans to
be an image of Mick Jagger, but the people actually involved at the time of the
photo shoot claim that Warhol had several different men photographed (Jagger
was not among them) and never revealed which shots he used. Among the
candidates, Jed Johnson, Warhol's lover at the time, denied it was his
likeness, although his twin brother Jay is a possibility. Those closest to the
shoot, and subsequent design, name Factory artist and designer Corey Tippin as
the likeliest candidate. Warhol "superstar" Joe Dallesandro claims to
have been the model.
After retailers
complained that the zipper was causing damage to the vinyl (from stacked
shipments of the record), the zipper was "unzipped" slightly to the
middle of the record, where damage would be minimized.
The album
features the first usage of the band's "tongue & lips" logo,
which was originally designed by Ernie Cefalu. Although Ernie's version was
used for much of the merchandising and was the design originally shown to the
band by Craig Braun, the design used for the album was illustrated by John
Pasche.
In 2003, the TV
network VH1 named Sticky Fingers the "No. 1 Greatest Album Cover" of
all time.
