Rock and Roll!

Today marks the anniversary of the first time the Rolling Stones appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show.  The October 25, 1964 show marked the entrance of the Stones as icons in rock and roll history. 

The Rolling Stones have long been linked to drug use.  Guitarist Keith Richards has written about his extensive abuse of a variety of substances.  Brian Jones, the original leader and guitarist of the band, was have heavy drug user before his death in 1969.   Check out Brian Jones on the harmonica during their Ed Sullivan set.   

And yet the band plays on...
