#SLS — Going Unplugged — “Wild Horses,” by The Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones 1971 There are so many good acoustic songs out there but I have to wonder how they cross the line, into rock, and still be acoustic, as rock music almost seems to imply the addition of electric guitars. I do think this one can be called rock music. As I read the…

I, upturned, paste-faced, full starkers, wet-footed, numb red fingertipped, & windbreaker whipped, am waiting. Are “we” flotsam, jetsam, lagan, or finally derelict? [44 words] top image link Note: I have a general idea…
