Everybody who's ever seen the World's Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band performlive has a story about the Rolling Stones.
Among other anecdotes, Eagle readers told us about hitchhiking halfway across the state to hear the Stones, getting a chance to shake Keith's hand, and catching a ride on the band's tour jet. One superfan recalled hitchhiking 12 hours from El Paso to Dallas in the summer of 1975 to see the Stones play the Cotton Bowl. She wore her contact lenses too long and ended up in the emergency room with patches over her eyes.
"I wore my concert T-shirt till it dissolved," she said, and she still has her ticket stub.
Now it's your turn.
