Rolling Stones Songs From the Crypt Tour

Butch and I saw the Stones at the 1969 Altamont Concert. We had the time of our lives! We dropped acid and did Quaaludes and snorted whatever was offered. We were young and bullet proof that day. We're senior citizens now but still rock. We scored tickets to the Stones latest. It was the time of our lives! We took extra long naps and got ready. Tie died house dress for me, and Butch wore his leathers. He complained that they rode up in the back. I said lose weight. We ate at our favorite joint and got the early bird special. We shared a glass of wine. We can't mix our meds with booze. On the drive to the stadium we shared a medicinal joint for our glaucoma. We parked in handicapped and got our walkers. We shuffled to the entrance and Butch grabbed my ass. My man! We got our seats and waited. Mick Jagger shuffled onstage. He had an oxygen tank but seemed OK. The other Stones followed and the crowd screamed the best they could. A rattling gasp. They performed 6 songs and said that's all they had. Thanks for coming... We took a Xanax to calm down and shuffled home and dreamed.
