APRIL 1969!

Happenings:
Apr 1 Meeting in Stevenson, Washington, the Board of County Commissioners of Skamania County voted to enact county ordinance Number 69-01, making either an April Fool’s Day joke or the first official recognition by any government agency of the possibility of the existence of “Bigfoot”. Whether intended as humorous or not, the ordinance was published in the April 4 and April 11 issues of the weekly Skamania County Pioneer, a requirement under state law, and was amended again in 1984. The text of the 1969 enactment noted “evidence to indicate the possible existence” in the county of an ape-like creature, a large number of “purported recent sightings” and “an influx of scientific investigators as well as casual hunters, many armed with lethal weapons”, and was passed to discourage “laxity in the use of firearms” that posed a threat to “persons living or traveling within the boundaries of Skamania County”, and made slaying of the creature described as “Bigfoot”, “Sasquatch”, or “Yeti” a felony punishable by a $10,000 fine and/or five years imprisonment.

Apr 4 Popular, but controversial, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour was abruptly canceled by the CBS television network. CBS President Robert Wood explained that the show’s two producers, Dick Smothers and Tommy Smothers, “consistently had failed to deliver tapes” of their programs in time for CBS executives and local TV stations to review the content, and added that it was “abundantly clear” that the brothers were “unwilling to accept the criteria of taste established by the network’s program practices department.” Ah yes, the good ol’ days. CBS was just dyin’ for an excuse to cancel them and did. Tommy admitted later that he did push his “luck”.

THE ROLLING STONES, NOW! February 13, 1965

 THE ROLLING STONES, NOW!

On February 13, 1965 “The Rolling Stones, Now!” album was released in the U.S.- a week later it was 00individual’s 14th birthday, and with the gift of birthday money he bought the original monaural vinyl long playing record album.

Every 14 year old knows the weird transition of feeling old enough to do bigger things, but being held back because you were, well, 14.
At 11 and 12 you’re a long way off from the freedom you would like to enjoy. But at 14, even one more year at 15 the reins loosen, and at 16 you’ve made it, you can legally drive, to the Moon and back.
But at 14 that seems like a decade away.

However, there was a maturing process going on under the radar. While 00individual had not experienced many of the emotions about relationships and love on the tracks of this album – ‘cept for spurts of Puppy Love – he knew that these were all important songs and was not Pop “Top 30” fare.

While the tunes on “The Rolling Stones, Now!” were infectious, and the Rockin’ Blues were down home, there was the double entendre or outright messages of the songs written by Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, and Willie Dixon that made 14 year old 00individual feel that he knew something others didn’t – and that, folks, is the essence of Rock ‘n’ Roll; you either got it, or you didn’t.

00individual was going to comment on each track but realized that it was every track, the whole entire album, that just felt sooo right – he had not heard anything like this before. This was the real deal; the choice of songs, the delivery, the musicianship, real raunchy Blues, and Jagger’s classic vocals were, well, perfect – perfect for a frustrated rockin’ 14 year old..

Side One
1. “Everybody Needs Somebody to Love” Solomon Burke, Bert Berns, Jerry Wexler The Rolling Stones No. 2 (UK) has an alternative longer version 2:57
2. “Down Home Girl” Jerry Leiber, Artie Butler The Rolling Stones No. 2 4:15
3. “You Can’t Catch Me” Chuck Berry The Rolling Stones No. 2 4:30
4. “Heart of Stone” Jagger/Richards single (US) 2:49
5. “What a Shame” Jagger/Richards B-side of “Heart of Stone” (US) 2:50
6. “Mona (I Need You Baby)” Ellas McDaniel a.k.a. Bo Diddley The Rolling Stones (UK) 3:55
Side two
7. “Down the Road Apiece” Don Raye The Rolling Stones No. 2 3:00
8. “Off the Hook” Jagger/Richards B-side of “Little Red Rooster” (UK) 2:35
9. “Pain in My Heart” Naomi Neville a.k.a. Allen Toussaint The Rolling Stones No. 2 2:12
10. “Oh Baby (We Got a Good Thing Goin’)” Barbara Lynn Ozen The Rolling Stones, Now! 2:06
11. “Little Red Rooster” Willie Dixon single (UK) 3:00
12. “Surprise, Surprise” Jagger/Richards The Rolling Stones, Now! 2:20

The songs were recorded between June 10 and November 8 1964 at the Chess Records studio in Chicago, and RCA Records studio in Hollywood, California; except “Mona (I Need You Baby)”, January 3–4 1964, Regent Sound Studios, London.
At the time of these recordings Jagger was 21, Richards 21, Jones, 22, Watts 23, and Wyman 28.

The Rolling Stones:
Mick Jagger – lead vocals, harmonica, tambourine, percussion
Keith Richards – electric guitar, backing vocals
Brian Jones – electric and slide guitars, harmonica, backing vocals
Charlie Watts – drums, percussion
Bill Wyman – bass guitar, backing vocals

Additional personnel
Jack Nitzsche – piano (2), “Nitzsche phone” (sound effects on 9)
Ian Stewart – piano (1, 5)

It was like this, up ’til then it was all Pop, even Rock ‘n’ Roll was in the mold of Elvis, but this, this felt deeper – and right then The Stones cast their mold as the Bad Boys of Rock and Blues with gritty soulful electrified attitude within every member of this soon to be World’s Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band.
