My dear kind patient learned & good-lookin iorrians, do any of you remember someone in the last 3-4 years
comparing seeing the Stones in a stadium to watching your grandfather strum a guitar 300 meters down the road
while you set fire to a month's salary - or something very close to that?
It was funny, not mean, and I don't remember if it was in an article someone posted here
or if one of our very own iorrians came up with it. I'd love to track down the exact wording
if anyone can help! Please and thank you kindly

I don't remember seeing it, but I have lived it!

"SIMULATE a Rolling Stones gig by watching your grandad strum a guitar from a distance of 3km & burning your life's savings."

From His Majesty, on this thread.

Thank you thank you thank you! xox xox xox

So what's the original source of the phrase?

google

twitter

Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

It's beyond sourcing - it's universal now _{(obscure Stones reference #748)}

Ha-ha that's funny. I heard something similar about Jimi Hendrix. His playing sounds like a guitar falling out a tall building window. I completely disagree though since I consider him the greatest musician of all time. I will admit however that's funny as hell.

I don't care what anyone says, any granddad who can simultaneously strum the guitar while smelting down a small pile of coins has got some major talent.

Should be in The Smiths.


On the internet nobody knows
you're Mick Jagger

Camper my sweet, I believe you're the one doing the smelting
Grandad's busy throwing great shapes :E

I love the Rolling Stones

BTW, sweet sssoul, would you be so kind to give more information about your quest?
Is it for academic purposes, philosophical, sexual, financial satisfaction or are you just
having fun?

Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

This one time I am just having fun, Marco honey
But if I see a way to use the phrase for any of those other purposes,
I'll be allllll over it :E
