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.
Excerpted from The New York Times.
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.
