 SoundStage! Music Online Archives
The first cut on the Rolling Stones' great Beggar's Banquet and probably the band's most famous -- or infamous -- single tune, "Sympathy for the Devil" was written solely by Mick Jagger, who was reportedly inspired by the Mikhail Bulgakov allegorical novel, The Master and Margarita.
In other words, "Sympathy for the Devil" has legs, which is perhaps why the Stones not only allowed it to be remixed but also oversaw the whole process.
This seven-cut Hybrid multichannel SACD, another in ABKCO Records' Rolling Stones Remasters series, includes ready-for-radio and full-length remixes of "Sympathy" by house/rap producers the Neptunes, Fatboy Slim and Full Phat along with the Stones' original version in beautifully remastered sound.

Norbert's love for music is evident early on, and soon he and neighborhood pal Elvis Presley are making noise in town.
Billed as "a rock-'n'-roll novel"--"rock-'n'-roll-critic novel" is probably more accurate--Pollack's foray into fiction isn't that much of a leap from his fictitious essays written by his alter ego, the "Greatest Living American Writer," Neal Pollack (The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature, 2002).
Their storytelling was channeled through massive quantities of drugs and sex and rock 'n' roll and drugs and drugs (they liked drugs) weaving wild tales of life and adventure.

And as the 60s turned into the 70s, and the cow was decidedly out of the barn as far as anger and lust, the Stones turned the sound they had adopted-out of love for the music, mind you-into an amazingly American down-home authentic rock and roll.
