Music

Nov 30

Hey there, TLA music fans. "Pleased to meet you." Well, as many of you know, Denver, CO has been home base for our little rag tag blog site for the past four years. We've enjoyed every minute of having our HQ in the Mile High City and today something exciting is happening that makes it just a tad bit sweeter. What is the thing that is causing all of the excitement? Golly gee, I'm glad you asked. This morning, tickets went on sale for a concert that will take place on Sunday, May 26th, 2019 here in lovely Denver. What is the concert that is causing so much commotion? Golly gee, I'm even gladder you asked the follow up question. Drum roll please: It's the Broncos Stadium at Mile High stop of the Rolling Stones: 2019 No Filter Tour, of course. theLeftAhead staff has already secured our tickets and needless to say, we're super-excited. In honor of the upcoming epic show in our humble little adopted town, I'm posting one of the best Stones songs of all-time. Enjoy...

The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the DevilVerse One:Please allow me to introduce myselfI'm a man of wealth and tasteI've been around for a long, long yearStole many a man's soul and faithAnd I was 'round when Jesus ChristHad his moment of doubt and painMade damn sure that PilateWashed his hands and sealed his fateChorus:Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my nameBut what's puzzling you is the nature of my gameVerse Two:I stuck around St. PetersburgWhen I saw it was a time for a changeKilled the Czar and his ministersAnastasia screamed in vainI rode a tank, held a general's rankWhen the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stankChorus:Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my nameBut what's puzzling you is the nature of my gameVerse Three:I watched with glee while your kings and queensFought for ten decades for the gods they madeI shouted out, "Who killed the Kennedys?"When after all, it was you and meLet me please introduce myselfI'm a man of wealth and tasteAnd I laid traps for troubadoursWho get killed before they reach BombayChorus:Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my nameBut what's puzzling you is the nature of my gameInterlude:Oh yeah, get down heavy!Chorus Two:Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, oh yeahBut what's confusin' you is just the nature of my gameVerse Four:Just as every cop is a criminalAnd all the sinners saintsAs heads is tails, just call me LuciferCause I'm in need of some restraintSo if you meet me, have some courtesyHave some sympathy, and some tasteUse all your well-learned politesseOr I'll lay your soul to wasteStream or download here:The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil
