A little backstory: Recording began in 1969 in England, and continued in mid-1971 at a rented villa in the South of France while the band lived abroad as tax exiles. A collage of various images, the album's artwork, according to frontman Mick Jagger, reflects the Rolling Stones as "runaway outlaws using the blues as its weapon against the world,” showcasing "feeling of joyful isolation, grinning in the face of a scary and unknown future.” </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: georgia; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4arMNsuRlJdjAheIMjnYRLRnzRAYaLMI9TTcxcBQKQ-dG7iUFn8yGZGj5n1KrUwNJzowBfOesSGIWFT0RbirGmEajWGFxt48kUsMJYoe3pdJ_mv3q9LzuAG3gFOPuBhj3p7H5voBfvDQhy4MBFGHG5RRORwnluFxLXWtxiEMK5JLE-lQeJqBOyrEBAYk/s220/ExileMainSt1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="220" data-original-width="220" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4arMNsuRlJdjAheIMjnYRLRnzRAYaLMI9TTcxcBQKQ-dG7iUFn8yGZGj5n1KrUwNJzowBfOesSGIWFT0RbirGmEajWGFxt48kUsMJYoe3pdJ_mv3q9LzuAG3gFOPuBhj3p7H5voBfvDQhy4MBFGHG5RRORwnluFxLXWtxiEMK5JLE-lQeJqBOyrEBAYk/w400-h400/ExileMainSt1.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> I do dig background tales and stories how artists collectively work/ed. Such as Bob Dylan and The Band toiling in the Big Pink, a house in West Saugerties, New York. The Band’s “Music from Big Pink” (1968) and Dylan’s “The Basement Tapes” (1975) emanated from that house. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> The Stones’ “Exile on Main St.” was recorded in a French villa called Nellcote. Although overdub sessions were completed at Los Angeles's Sunset Sound—with additions of pianist Nicky Hopkins, saxophonist Bobby Keys, drummer Jimmy Miller and horn player Jim Price—the feel and feelings of “Exile…” was all Nellcote, though I don’t know how’s that, really.

Christian or Pagan, Buddhist or Muslim, Republican or Democrat, Filipino or Somali, Communist or otherwise, black or white or yellow or brown and red—we are all here to enjoy Earth and Life under universal good. Universal Good is no-brainer. It doesn't have to be discussed all the time on TV talk shows, or hallowed halls of power, or neighborhood cafe. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> A socialist finds it hard to vibe with a capitalist—but maybe southern blues rock can; a Pagan may not be able to share thoughts over sun and moon with a Christian but a nice brewed cocoa may gather them again; a Republican or Democrat may debate over Obamacare but, hey—sometimes they agree on a March Madness Bracketology. Whatever it is that we believe in, we have to stick by it, because I reckon all these that we believe in were originally guided by a sweet hand of goodness. The Holy Bible, Quran, Bhagavad Gita, The Red Book, I-Ching, paella, and strawberry salad—are all good, great and holy. Be consistent, be staunch, be cool.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> What I don't dig are those who tread contradictions in favor of convenience. Che Guevara was a true revolutionary who dug in the wicked woods of his wars—he didn't purchase that beret on Amazon or I don't think he squirmed over “bizarre” food in the jungles of Bolivia. Whoever god or god/dess that we pay praises for—I bet that spiritual light didn't say I have white, immaculate skin of purity and yours is tangerine flesh of doom. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvy4O7sgznVBMjPm-g68vbf-bSvxwpCYZTOWn_aGz7G4M2497vHq2zZDHpKgJ3-kDKjmFCgNHh7MLEm5_lmqNaFAlI9xArseCupDWi0x2mqcIaLkNbdZ2C3bbfJPZRCbZX21NZdy1XB67BgwecqmEEPsXwZoQiGfpUm9nspaqDjZ2dD58K8RsbZXaWV10/s1061/life%20and%20politics%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="708" data-original-width="1061" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvy4O7sgznVBMjPm-g68vbf-bSvxwpCYZTOWn_aGz7G4M2497vHq2zZDHpKgJ3-kDKjmFCgNHh7MLEm5_lmqNaFAlI9xArseCupDWi0x2mqcIaLkNbdZ2C3bbfJPZRCbZX21NZdy1XB67BgwecqmEEPsXwZoQiGfpUm9nspaqDjZ2dD58K8RsbZXaWV10/s320/life%20and%20politics%201.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> Criticize me, I'll criticize you; smile at me, I'll smile back at you—the human logic is quite simple. But sharing the good stuff is always more pleasurable than the opposite. When food is served on the table, the cook didn't say this lasagna is for Republicans and that pot pie is for Democrats. Or snow didn't just fall for the Cherokee, and rain didn't just flood Indonesians. We are all equal under the blue, blue sky—and down there, is murk and mud. We are the same as stones and wildflowers—although I dig the Bee Gees more than my friend's Rage Against the Machine. No big deal. It's all good. We don't have to argue about it.

"fair dinkum" and "keen as." She's nourishing a

Vuillier was born in the sunny coastal city of Clearwater in Florida,
and has been a resident of Asheville since childhood. Devon writes
poetry as a way to get by with harsh moments in her life—but it was
only until last year when she went out and joined readings in
downtown Asheville that she developed confidence to share her work.
Her poems mirror the angst of youth of her generation as well as the
potentials of a matured poet way ahead of her age. She is currently
in the process of putting together a chapbook of her choice poems so
far.</span></span></strong><br />

healing, herbal cures, and other non-conventional medical means
through “Food Poets Society,” a food and music/arts interface
program, and its cancer-awareness events and concerts. The show,
which also serves as part of Pascua's continuing series of readings
to promote his book, also raises fund for Weinmann, who has been
afflicted with Rheumatoid Arthritis since childhood.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 150%;"> Weinmann
is currently on a fundraise and awareness drive focused on Peptide
Therapy. Peptides are an amino acid, the building blocks of a protein
and of our cells. Peptides are being used to treat and often cure
cancer, Alzheimer's, ADHD, diabetes, epilepsy, dementia, many
auto-immune disorders, allergies, and more. “This nutrient based
medicine used for over 35 years in Europe with great success and now
available in the US by only about 20 doctors, nationwide,” says
Weinmann. “(Rheumatoid Arthritis) </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 150%;">is
a terribly debilitating and painful disease which has brought
tremendous hardships to me and my family. This treatment gives me
hope.” Weinmann will talk more about the subject between poetry and
songs.</span><br />

“Downtown Get Down: Bonfires for Peace,” the July 13 show
featured a Goa trance music dance event, with DJ music provided by
Touch Samadhi's Goadream, Sensoma, and Sean O'Daniels. On Aug 9,
popular Asheville acts Lyric, Pipapelli, Marshall Jim Duncan, Tom Hoa

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;"> Pritchard
Park is located right in the heart of downtown Asheville. The
Traveling Bonfires, which was born in the Philippines during the
politically-turbulent mid80s, kicked off its annual “barrio-level”
convergence in the spring of 2002 with all-day, multi-band concert
events that lasted to early fall—and carried on since then.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: black;"> The
Traveling Bonfires produced an unprecedented 16 weekend park events
in 2004, involving hundreds of local and North/South Carolina
performers and visiting acts from as far as Tokyo, Manila, Houston
TX, Boston, San Francisco, New Jersey, and New York City. The
organization has also produced similar outdoor and indoor concerts in
New York City, Baltimore, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Frisco, and
Manila and Baguio City in the Philippines, “instigating arts and
music events and bringing people together in celebration of peace and
multicultural connectedness.”</span></span><br />

Samadhi is a community of “trance Goa” DJ's that takes its

home barrio, this is where we belong,” explains Pascua.</span></div>

the late 1960s and early 1970s. The sound which commands a huge
following in Asheville, incorporates elements of industrial
music and EBM (electronic body music) with
spirituality. Touch Samadhi DJs are perennial performers in Traveling
Bonfires' centerpiece program, “Bonfires for Peace at Pritchard
Park,” since its birth in the mountains in 2004.</span></span></span></strong></div>

<div style="border: none; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: black;">FOUR
bands from Asheville and two neighboring cities will be the featured
acts in “The Wind Whispers Peace,” a night of music and poetry,
set on March 16 at Westville Pub in West Asheville. </span>
</span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> The
event—which features Rev. Syd and the Homewreckers and Brief
Awakening from Spartanburg SC, Black Canaries from Greenville SC, and
local jazz-poetry act The Caleb Beissert Band—also serve as launch
of the 11<sup>th</sup> Year of Traveling Bonfires' public community
events called “Bonfires for Peace at Pritchard Park.” Singer
songwriter Jaime Lauren Webb and poets Pasckie Pascua, TBonfires
founder, and Jadwiga McKay will also perform.</span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: black;"> Rev.
Syd and the Homewreckers is anchored on lead vocalist and songwriter
Sydney McMath's blues and soul/gospel background. The Black Canaries
is a lounge blues band,
featuring Jen St. Stjarna on vocals and piano and James Heaton on
lead guitar. Says their site: “Music you would find in a velvet
lined bar in Las Vegas while drinking a dirty martini and talking to
a showgirl.” Brief Awakening's
members are Kat Arrants on vocals/keyboards; Kara-Lynn Petrucci on
acoustic guitar/vocals/mandolin and bass; Beck on bass; Billy Leva on
guitar; and Abi Har on drums. They list Fiona Apple, The Cranberries,
Tori Amos, Belle and Sebastian, and Ani DiFranco as influences. </span>
</span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> The
Caleb Beissert Band, a new poetry/jazz ensemble that spawned from
several acts in Asheville, is dovetailed on Beissert's poetry and
Aaron Price's musicianship. Jaime Lauren Webb, a harp and ukulele
player, has woven a rich collection of songs that belie her youth.
Pasckie Pascua is the founding executive director of Traveling
Bonfires. His poetry has toured New York City, Baltimore, Los
Angeles, and elsewhere—apart from Asheville. Jadwiga McKay,
originally from Bay City, Michigan, is an events organizer, now
active with the Traveling Bonfires and its sideproject Wander Women.</span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> A
cover charge of $5 entitles patrons to raffle tickets, with prizes
donated by local establishments and the sponsoring organization's
supporters. Proceeds go to logistics budget for “Bonfires for
Peace” events and Traveling Bonfires/Wander Women's continuing
breast cancer awareness program and overseas calamity relief.</span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> The
Traveling Bonfires originated in the Philippines but has made
Asheville its home since moving here from New York City in 2002. The
“Bonfires for Peace,” the organization's centerpiece project, is
a movable feast of family fun and community connectedness through
music, arts and dancing, held at Pritchard Park in downtown
Asheville. The project had its first event in Asheville in 2003; the
program also had parallel events in Baltimore, New York City, Los
Angeles, San Francisco and Manila and Baguio City in the Philippines
through the years.</span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> “The
coming event (at Westville Pub) is also our way of reminding the
community that we need to get together more as family and friends in
the light of recent spate of violence in the country,” says Marta
Osborne, TBonfires supervising producer. “Music and poetry always
converge people. And when we converge, we also see hope that we can
be one again.”</span></div>
<div style="border: none; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> The
Traveling Bonfires' events enjoyed the support of a number of local
Asheville businesses, organizations, and individuals. Projects have
benefited non-profit organizations that work with at-risk youths,
families of the disappeared, orphans, and disaster victims. For more
