“I'm completely uninterested in the origins of Stonehenge. I don't care about the real story behind it or whether it should be saved or not.

“What originally established the band was cover songs like Not Fade Away. Then, later on, we got more well-known ones like Satisfaction, which you might say echoed the thinking of, well, any generation you care to name, including the present one. But we didn't set out on bits of paper that we were going to be the voice of a generation. The original aim of the Rolling Stones was to play blues.

“We were looking at weather and our relationships with weather.

“Thinking about something is like picking up a stone when taking a walk, either while skipping rocks on the beach, for example, or looking for a way to shatter the glass doors of a museum. When you think about something, it adds a bit of weight to your walk, and as you think about more and more things you are liable to feel heavier and heavier, until you are so burdened you cannot take any further steps, and can only sit and stare at the gentle movements of the ocean waves or security guards, thinking too hard bout too many things to do anything else.” ThinkingWayLifeFeelsHardBitsWalksStepsDoorsRocksSecurityExampleMovementOceanStonesWeightAddGlassesWaveBeachGentleStaringThings To DoMuseumsLiableSecurity GuardsOcean Wave Author:Daniel Handler
