In The Stars by The Rolling Stones

2026-05-06T09:12:05Z

It is 62 years since the first Jagger/Richards song, and two more were released yesterday. Framing the Stones as contemporaries of The Beatles does make you realise how near all of this is - imagine if we still had new Lennon/McCartney songs in 2026. There will be corners of the internet shrugging their shoulders that In The Stars is not Street Fighting Man, but that's really missing the point. With a new McCartney album at the end of the month (and a new single in two days), we really need to enjoy this experiment in longevity.
