HOW delicious! - I only got to see the Stones in the flesh (so to speak)
when they came back to Sydney in the 90s, after listening to them since I
was 11 in 64 (now I've done it) - they do tap into something that seems to
resonate with life, rebellion, creativity, fun, and slightly risqué
activities. Sounds a bit like Action Research and Educational Innovation
from this side of the globe (Northern BC, Canada at present). The world
ROCKS (borrowed from my students who - when asked to define nursing practice
- said 'Nursing Rocks'.)
