Is this a reference to Don Mclean " American Pie"?

No, there is a myth that Richards sold his soul ala Robert Johnson. The skull ring is the symbol of the pact. (I was talking to the devil, so I figured I'd inquire...

Personally, I believe he is Rasputin reincarnated...

Tbf we did stop talking about religion - theism, atheism deism and all that a few pages back. This religion in history is political in many ways.

Then again everything is political.

I saw a bumper sticker that I love: "Politics is the opiate of the masses"

Oh, because in American Pie Dont Mclean repeatedly mentions a character called satan, but upon closer inspection, Satan is clearly Mick Jagger.

Hence Keith Richards relationship with The Devil would be a close but rocky one.

Even if he hadn't ordered it, it would probably have happened, or at least some other form of 'enhanced' interrogation

My point is, he was trying to be Jack...He likely had nothing to do with it except to have it taped for his sexual enjoyment.

So, what are the terms of the contract you have with Keith Richards? I have always wanted to see the specifics.

Keith Richards’ famous skull ring. How the obsession began.

Over the past 30 years Keith Richards silver skull ring has taken on its own mythology and iconic status. The most famous ring in the world has come to signify not only Keith Richards the man – seen wearing it at every gig and in every photograph – but Rock and Roll itself. The ring has inspired both an international cult following and unlimited fake copies. There have been countless claims as to who designed and made the original but this is the true story.

In 1978 the celebrated London goldsmiths David Courts and Bill Hackett were working on a small scale silver sculpture of a human skeleton. Using a real skull for reference they carved a perfect miniature replica which they then moulded. When the hollow wax skull was removed from its mould the inspiration for the ring was born. Further experimentation led to the creation of the original silver skull ring. At the same time an invitation arrived from Keith Richards to his birthday party in New York – so Bill and David decided that the new ring would make a fantastic present. From the moment he put it on his finger, the magic began and he has worn it ever since.

And there we were all in one place, a generation lost in space, with no time left to start again.

So c'mon Jack be nimble, jack be quick, jack flash sat on the candlestick cause fire is the devil's only friend.....

And as I watched him on the stage, my hands were clenched in fists of rage,

No angel born in hell, could break that Satan spell

The day the music died in Dec. 1969....

Satan can be all of us...

You can be possessed by the Holy Spirit or Satan.

Your choice...

edit....

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO SERVE SOMEBODY...

Bob dylan. Nice. But do you have a point or are you just posting lyrics?

Is the JFK assassination up for debate on this thread . Political Assassination's ?

George Bush sr is one of the only people in the world who doesn't know exactly where he was that day..

The lyrics were from American Pie, which recounts 1959 to 1969 in music.

Satan may be embodied in Mick but is not Mick..

Satan may be embodied in Don McLean/or a fan in the audience who is clenching his hands in fists of rage, which by the way, anger/wrath/rage is a sin.

The Dylan song embodies the idea that spirits are free floating and that neither Keith, Mick, you, I, or anyone else are necessarily permanent repositories of the spirits.

My spirit was just a friendly contribution. Take it or leave it as such.....

I'm trying to be "generous of spirit."

As you can see, being human gets in the way sometimes...

The absolute bottom line of this which very few understand.

The object of torture is torture.

Yep and George Bush Junior never even heard of the Kennedy Assassination. Like in that Film Back TO THE future " who the hell is John F Kennedy"

hhahaha, no

Yep and Maybe it was the "reincarnation of Rasputin" who was the gunman on the Grassy Knoll as ThoughtForFood so eloquently phrased. Keith Richards, Bob Dylan and Don Mc Clean were the three tramps arrested that day.

 

[buckwheat]

hhahaha, no

As I said, not many understand.

There are many who want to Lord over others.

Everybreath You Take

as opposed to

If You Love Somebody, Set them Free.

Sting understands....

I don't think you understand the dynamics of human rights abuses

What do you want to know?

 

[buckwheat]

What do you want to know?

You were talking about my not understanding human rights violations.

I'll beat you to the punch.

Aggressive Narcissisim, lack of empathy.

Now you school me.....If you'd like. As I said, I'll consider anything..I'm all ears.

Actually in reality the majority of the persons who commit these atrocities are normal average people, without any case of mental defect or any case of any mental irregularity. If you look at research a vast majority of all the people, no matter their education, background, intelligence or social status would commit human rights abuses in certain circumstances. And these circumstances would not even have to amount to duress or anything.
