One more Weekend Post from "Sun City."
Bono was involved in the "Sun City" song. And as Little Steven was about to being mastering the final tracks he had, Bono showed up with a newly recorded tune. One that features Keith Richards and Ron Wood as his bandmates. It arrived so late in the game, that it didn't even make the track listing, which had already been printed.
"Silver And Gold" would eventually be re-recorded by U2 and make its way to the "Rattle And Hum" record, but this is the original release.
Hear the song on Youtube.

Keith Richards "Run Rudolph Run"
A weekend/Holiday post:
It occurred to me this week, that of all the artists we play on mvyradio, there are very, very few, who don't have at least ONE Christmas tune in their stable.
But surprisingly, The Rolling Stones don't seem to.
Of course, it makes perfect sense that Keith Richards covers this Chuck Berry tune . . .

Willie Nelson, Keith Richards, Ryan Adams and Hank Williams III "Dead Flowers"
What a great quartet, for Kentucky Derby Day!
Hear the song on Youtube.
Well when you're sitting back in your rose pink cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
Ah, I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain away
Hear the song on Youtube.

Rolling Stones "Salt Of The Earth"
If you check out the main page of mvyradio, every day you see a different "Lyric Of The Day."
Usually, I'm the one who put it there. It's been my semi-official job for years now. Other folks do it, when inspired, but most days, I'm searching for a great line to post on our page.
Often, the lyric relates to something else we have going on---a line from the Monday Free CD or Album Of The Week or from an artist who's coming into the studio that day.
And sometimes I try to find a line that's appropriate for the particular day.
In the past, on Memorial Day, I've posted lyrics from "memory" songs like "Memories Can't Wait" and "I Will Remember You."
But it was nice to be reminded this week of "Salt Of The Earth" (via a Bettye Lavette cover, that I'll save for another post), and to be reminded of how appropriate this song can be, for this holiday.
I love it when Keith Richards sings. Or tries to sing. He may be straining, but I've always found his efforts charming. I love that Keith, despite being one of the biggest rock stars of all-time, comes off as salt of the Earth, himself, and how that plays off Mick Jagger's more removed perspective.
When Mick sings this line, he smartly puts himself not as another "Salt," but as someone of a different class, who wants to make sure that the "lowly of birth" are recognized, honored, remembered.
So if you ARE a "common footsoldier" you can feel celebrated. And if you are, like so many of the rest of us, safe and warm and content, thanks to the folks who toil in the trenches, you are invited to sing along and celebrate.
This weekend, I hope think about who you are, and celebrate accordingly.

Say a prayer for the common foot soldier
Spare a thought for his back breaking work
Say a prayer for his wife and his children
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth
