Let It Bleed (50th Anniversary Edition / Remastered 2019)

From dwilliams20On 11th of December of 1969 the rolling stone threw a lanch party to debut a demo of you can't always get what you want. That performance is now the rock and roll circus released 2 decades later. The rolling stone failed to release it as a TV special because the felt upstaged by other acts. The album released in November of 1968 and in December the Stones set up a free festival to end a tour in America. Poorly planned with the stones leaking more information causing last minute site changes. Hiring the Hells Angeles who caused quite a ruckus. Jefferson Arplaines' account them leaving with multiple injuries after there set. The Grateful Dead refused to preform. By the time the Stones took stage the festival had hit it's worst. A Fight during Sympathy for the devil a pause in the music. Restarting with under my thumb Meredith hunter tried to get out of the ruckus crowd with other by getting on stage. His head was beaten in by the Hells Angeles causing him to die on the spot. This however, did little to slow the sales of Let it bleed. However, the Rolling stone music moved in a different direction such as the attitudes of the country. They become apathetic to the news and the horrors around them such as the Vietnam War. The music changed just as quickly the hippie movent was over and fragmented. The question becomes after this temporary moment of activism for many with little change is possible to become to numb and withdraw away from on another? As such fans praise the album. Crucial more now then ever song ring hard and heavy. Rape, murder, violence, and war to open. The pains of love. Country rock. Some one to lean on and take our pain. The ramble of late night conversation. A poke at evolutionary regression. Realization of our desire being sometimes to much. Gas shortages impending, two straights closed. War in Iran, Israel, and Ukrane unresolved. Rape, murder and destruction in Gaza without question. Murder and destruction for sure elsewhere. A president devolving a nation at his will. Sure humans are descended from monkeys but look around and many aren't that far from going backwords. Rejecting vaccines, spreading misinformation, encouraging nationalist racism. Is that to far off from being a monkey man. When all our dreams for most are grand ideas all we really need is just some to talk to. Understand our problems give us rational advice. However, if people look around and realize there needs and the needs of others we can all get what we need. Give those in war torn places shelter. Provide for the homeless by reforming the systems that keep people homeless. For everyone sake tax the hell out of the rich let them bleed. So we all can get what we need.
