Happy Rolling Stones Day!
It was fifty years ago today, Brian Jones taught the band to play. (Image courtesy of Retronaut).
I had a professor in college who attended the London School of Economics at the same time as Mick Jagger. Must have been ‘62 or ‘63, when Mick had decided to really focus on his music career.
My professor was on the “Events Committee” for the school, and they had booked The Stones to play on campus. The band was already blowing up by this point. A huge crowd gathered outside the doors of the building/auditorium where the show was to be played. Partly because they couldn’t get through the mass of people, and partly because they didn’t want to get mobbed by fans, the band needed to find another way in.
My professor directed them around the back of the building and helped the band crawl inside through a window, instruments and all.
His claim to fame.
He said they played a “great show.”

Dan Savage on the Horniest College Students in America, and Other Penis-Related News
Chances are you know Dan Savage for one of two things: his widely influential and deeply moving It Gets Better campaign, or for being that guy who coined “santorum.” For the last 20 years though, he’s had a different gig: Dispensing relationship and sex advice through his syndicated column and podcast, Savage Love. For MTV’s Savage U (season finale, tonight at 11:30PM), he doled out the same wry-but-earnest straight-talk to a dozen or so of America’s most sex-thirsty college students. Here, he shares his pick for horniest college, what parents get wrong when they talk about sex, and how much masturbation is too much (hint: you’re probably safe).
GQ: You interviewed students all over the country about sex. What school had the horniest population?
Savage: Tulane [laughs]. Tulane, hands down. It might as well be a school in the New Jersey state system.
What about the most sexually frustrated?
Probably Cornell. Everyone there is working so hard. They say that it’s the easiest Ivy to get into but the hardest to get out of. The kids we talked to were too stressed for relationships but still wanted to have sex with somebody. They asked the varsity level questions—about three-ways, kinks, and bondage. You know, the out-there stuff.
Yay Tulane!
