Rolling Stone interview 1971
...Especially now that we've got Rolling Stones Records, with the Kali tongue...nobody's got into that yet, but that's Kali, the Hindu female goddess. Five arms, a row of heads around her, a sabre in one hand, flames coming out of the other, she stands there, with her tongue out. But that's going to change. That symbol's not going to stay as it is. Sometimes it'll take up the whole label, maybe slowly it'll turn to a cock, I don't know yet. |

For those interested. I found this info on Kali.
Kali appeared for the first time to defeat the evil demon Raktabija. Raktabija was on a path of destruction in the heavens and on earth. Each time an attempt was made on his life, his drops of blood transformed into additional Raktabija demons. So, Kali descended and began to destroy the Raktabija demons. She utilized her long tongue to catch the Raktabija blood, thus not allowing for the generation of additional demons. In the end Kali was successful and ended the wrath of the Raktabija demons. However, the extreme amounts of Raktabija blood she had to intake in the process caused her to rampage. She consequently crossed the universe killing anyone who came across her path.
Because of her destructive behavior Kali is sometimes referred to as the goddess of time and death. She is often depicted with dark skin to symbolise the darkness of eternity and dark messy hair to symbolise the dark clouds of the eternal sky. A necklace of skulls is often shown around her neck symbolising death and destruction. Many times she is depicted with a severed head in her bottom left hand to show that there is no escape from time.
Interesting reading the boys were doing back then. |

Who's the bullshitter Ruby Mazur? or Kieth? Kieth's interview was done in the summer of '71 and can be found in its entirety in "Exile" by Genesis Publishing. Did he design the logo based on the idea of Mick and Kieth? |
