nce
upon a place in a time far away called the 60s, lived a band of
four
young boys, and one who was probably a bit too old still to be
a boy.
Although they were happy boys and all snowy white, they yearned
to be unhappy and black so that they could make music that was
blue. So they sought advice at the Wise Alexis Korner shop who
was a known practitioner in the Blue Arts and he bade them drink
of the enchanted Muddy Waters and soon they were making the most
exciting music the world has ever known and throughout the land
people danced and the four young boys and the not quite
so young one became rich and content and chased by young
girls and getting thoroughly out of it.
But
there came a time when it was no longer that place called the
60s and few could remember what it had been like and those who
could, hadnt really been there in the first place and were
liars. Only three now survived of the five who had started out.
The one known to all as Brian, even though that indeed was his
name, had gone on to higher things after a rather unseemly squabble
with one of the others over the hand of a foreign princess
and all her other bits as it happens and the not so young
one, who was by now old enough not to know better, had left to
marry a childhood sweetheart although not, it has to be
said, from his own childhood.
Then
just when people were beginning to forget how good had been their
music, there came five young fans with a dream to resurrect their
memory and to recreate the band in its original image. And
so successful were they in their endeavours, that people likened
them to the originals, and even at times better but that
is probably because they couldnt afford to be quite so out
of it. And throughout the land they played again the most exciting
music the world has ever known (without annoying folk with the
not so popular recent stuff) and people came in ever increasing
numbers to see the RollinStoned, for that indeed was their
name, and danced and became very happy again for at last, young
and old, they could remember what it was like in the 60s, even
those who had been there in the first place.
