40 Years Ago

40 years ago tomorrow, those swaggering Brits, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger released one of my all time favourite tunes - Gimme Shelter. Here's the first few verses. Buy it. Play it loud.
Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way
Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter 1969
