I guess for me it's that growing up the first reference point I ever had of the Stones was Jagger making an almighty tit of himself on 'Dancing in the Street'. That isn't something you can easily forget when you're young. It influences you. It took me years to summon up the courage to listen to a Bowie album because of that song.
