Rocks Off (1972)
“The sunshine bores the daylights out of me…” Listened to this today for the first time in a long time. It’s even fucking better than I remembered it. My favourite rock n’ roll track of all time. Easy.

I have long expressed the wish to be carried out of my own funeral mass to the sound of Shine A Light from this same record. Nobody ever listens. I’m going to call this my official testament right here on this blog and you’re my witness, Eoin, right?

Damn right, Paul. I’ll even bump you off myself if it’ll expedite the process.

Paul, I think I read somewhere that the Stones had never played Shine a Light live until Scorcese got them to do it for his film. Is that true?
