It was the summer of 1968 when Mick Jagger & Keith Richards (along with Marianne Faithfull, Anita Pallenberg, and Gram Parsons) took their limos out to Stonehenge. This trip was to spawn a historic idea that another band would forever be known by!

Elaborate stage shows at rock concerts were a rarity in 1968. Sure, Pink Floyd had been experimenting with rudimentary 'light shows', but 1968 was still a few years away from the decadent stage props that many bands would eventually use! Heavy metal bands, such as Black Sabbath, didn't hit the scene until 1969. And it would be a few years until Alice Cooper unveiled his elaborate stage shows.

Always looking for a new 'gimmick', Mick Jagger thought he had come up with the perfect stage prop for their upcoming 1969 U.S. tour: why not put a full-size Stonehenge replica on the stage with the Stones? It was a pun: "the Stones and Stonehenge", get it? However, Keith Richards was not amused in the least - and the photographs taken that day show the two in a very tense discussion.

Ultimately, Richards would have no part of Mick's new idea, suggesting that he sell his idea to The Thamesmen - a band that was changing their image to fit with the times. The Thamesmen eventually changed their name to Spinal Tap - and the rest is...well, history!

On that dreary, cold day in 1968, I'm sure that Mick Jagger had little idea of what he had started!

DISCLAIMER: Yes, this is yet another PARODY!
