"Sonny Boy was the randiest man I have ever met, bar none"

The Stones came down to the Twisted Wheel about the same week as their first album was released and I got a copy of it and I played every original track off the album. I played ‘Walking the Dog’ by Rufus Thomas, I played ‘I’m a King Bee’ by Slim Harpo and so on, I just played all the originals, and they stood there at the coffee bar surrounded by people just looking at them, not talking to them, looking, because they were quite big by then. They knew exactly what I was doing and I suppose most of the kids did as well. I just felt like doing it you know, played all the originals in the same order as the LP, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang because I thought The Stones were being real lazy, just copying other people’s songs and doing a very feeble, white, puny version of them. I actually got on ok with the Stones. Brian Jones bought a copy of R&B Scene off me when I was in London. When the Stones went to The States they got Howlin’ Wolf on prime time national television. Fucking hell, that’s the thing to do! I admire them for doing that.

Imagine the surprise of Roger putting him into the car for the drive from the airport to Manchester city centre, and they’ve just about reached Fallowfield when Jay rolls down the window and pulls out a revolver and starts firing. Whether it was blanks or what to wind Roger up I don’t know.
Roger says “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”
Screamin’ Jay goes, “Just keepin’ ‘em on their toes man!”
Have you heard the story about them driving through town with Lightnin’ Hopkins. Lightnin’ shouts through the window, “Come on over here baby, I’m gonna teach your pussy to whistle” and Roger’s going, “We don’t do that sort of thing”
