On another thread in this forum, I wrote about the day when I watched the Stones shoot the video for "Waiting On A Friend" in the East Village in NYC.
Something funny happened that afternoon...
Word had spread pretty quickly, it seemed, that the Rolling Stones were in the neighborhood. A fair sized crowd had gathered, and we were standing behind a barricade that the police had set up.
I was standing next to the curb, behind the barricade, when a guy came riding by on a bicycle. Seeing the crowd that was gathered, he stopped his bicycle. He looks over at St. Marks Bar and Grill and says to me, "Who's playing tonight?" I looked at him and answered, "The Rolling Stones." Whereupon he muttered something to me like "sarcastic @#$%&!" and he rode away. I guess he didn't believe me!
