The Rolling Stones invited opener Gary Clark Jr. onstage in Massachusetts for a blistering cover
of Eddie Taylor’s blues shuffle “Ride ‘Em on Down.” Clark has played with the Stones regularly
since 2012, and Keith Richards has called him a “very tasteful player.” “Love playing with these
guys,” says Clark. “Legendary.” The show also included rarities like “She’s So Cold.” “This is our
29th show in Boston,” Mick Jagger said. “Thank you for coming to see us all these years.” WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS
A decade ago, Ringo Starr asked his fans to say, or think, the words “peace
and love” when the clock hit noon on his birthday, July 7th. The movement has
spread around the world, and this year, Starr celebrated outside in L.A. with
fans, plus wife Barbara Bach, David Lynch, Jenny Lewis, and more. Ringo hopes
it catches on: “Maybe one day it will be the ‘peace and love’ world,” he said.ONLY TEAM (IN THE WORLD)
