Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the music video of Paul McCartney & Wings - Let Me Roll It (Live)

It seems appropriate to me that uber-wealthy Paul and Linda McCartney were arrested in Sweden for possession of drugs during their Wings Over Europe Tour on August 10, 1972.

Who didn't know that drugs of all sorts were influential in many of the Beatles songs? Exceptional group and musicians though.

I never had a high opinion of Paul McCartney or his buddy John Lennon after learning about their personal lives. Same with other band members like the guys in the Rolling Stones. Talented musicians
that produced excellent recordings in the 1960's which I purchased and enjoyed listening to then and still listen to today. I have always separated the musician from the music. All the drug use in the 60's
cut many lives short and ruined others it did not kill. Even my favorite early 60's band The Beach Boys
who started as a clean looking surfer group fell into the drug scene during the psychedelic mid 60's.

SPC Woody Bullard I agree with you, Woody! Got to separate the music from the men.

A1C Doug Towsley - LOL !!! No I never walked by his tour bus but I did the next best or worst thing when I attended a Led Zeppelin concert in Frankfurt, Germany with three of my MP brothers. We met up with some single Fraulein(s) outside the concert hall and bought tickets with them to have seats together. Zeppelin sounded better in concert than on their studio recordings. Jimmy Page was playing his guitar with a violin bow which put out a different sound and John Bonham was fantastic on the drums. They did a long 20 plus minute version of "Whole Lotta Love" with a Page guitar solo and a Bonham drum solo in the middle of the song. The air in the concert hall was thick with smoke from the "happy pipes" that were being passed around. A person could get high from the second hand smoke in the air. I'll never forget that night in Frankfurt, the concert or the after concert party which was drug free.
