Top singles from the past

4 February 2024

58 years ago today, on 4 February 1966, THE ROLLING STONES
released 19TH NERVOUS BREAKDOWN. One of their best-ever
masterstrokes in my book. It peaked at #2 in the UK and in the US

Mick Jagger: “It’s a song about things that are happening around
me,everyday life as I see it. People say I’m always singing about pills
and breakdowns, therefore I must be an addict – this is ridiculous.
Some people are so narrow-minded they won’t admit to themselves
that this really does happen to other people besides pop stars.”

“You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown”
