The Rolling Stones — A Play in the Apocalypse

Michael Lydon, Ramparts, March 1970

There's no business like show business,
Like no business I know;
Everything about it is appealing,
Everything the traffic will allow.

— IRVING BERLIN

You can't always get what you want,
You can't always get what you want,
You can't always get what you want,
But if you try some time,
You just might find,
You get what you need.
