 The Rolling Stones - New Age Drug Counselors?

Having been there and done that, a couple of Rolling Stones has a few words of counsel for today's drug-prone young musicians, Reuters reported.  In an appearance at the Berlin Film Festival, the guitarist Keith Richards, right, referring to Amy Winehouse said, "She should get her act together."  The Stones frontman, Mich Jagger, in speaking about Ms. Winehouse and Pete Doherty, said times were different.  Mr. Jagger said: "When we were experimenting with drugs, little was known about the effects.  In our time there were no rehab centers like today.  Anyway, I did not know about them."  Now 64, a grandfather and a fitness fanatic, Mr. Jagger said he couldn't understand how the younger generation, knowing the dangers of drugs continue to find them appealing.

Alas! the wisdom we gain as we age.

Look Out!  It's Dem Wise Guys Again . . . .

Along with playing guitar - and he does that quite well - Precision's lead guitarist and vocalist, Frankie Carr also has personally designed and manufactured fine musical instruments.  One of Frankie's guitar masterpieces  was particularly fitting for his recent visit to Wise Guy Radio Show on Sirius Satellite Radio.  In this case, Frankie brought along his famous "Tommy Gun Guitar" which was a big hit (no pun intended) with the shows hosts, John "Cha-Cha "Ciarcia and Vincent "Big Pussy" Pastore.  If you were a fan of the acclaimed long-running HBO program, The Sopranos, you may remember Cha-Cha Ciarcia and Pastore from the cast of this hit series.  As native New Yorkers, Cha-Cha and Vincent Pastore are fans of the Precisions and enjoy their classic Doo Wop sound. Frankie made sure he left any ammunition home so his Tommy Gun Guitar provided safe enjoyment for the show's hosts and guests.  A version of Frankie's Tommy Gun guitar is on display at the Hard Rock Cafe.  However, Precisions fans can see the real thing in person at one of their upcoming live appearances.   This weapon may look fierce some, but it makes sweet music.  Just ask Cha Cha and Big Pussy.

Careful! that weapon may be loaded.  Shown above,  Wise Guy Radio show hosts John Cha-Cha Ciarcia, second from right, and Vincent Pastore, at right could have used Frankie's Tommy Gun Guitar during their stint on The Sopranos.  Along with the show's host are the Precision's Frankie Carr, second from left, and Frankie's son, Frankie Jr. at left.  FYI . . .  John Cha-Cha Ciarcia and Frankie Carr are cousins.
