A glorious day.
Incidentally, wasn't it Brian who said it? As far as I'm aware, Keith's bladder remained unemptied in the incident.

Oh, dear. If you don't know, then I don't know.
You're my human encyclopedia when it comes to the

Well I googled it, SV.
Thinkexist.com gives credit to Brian Jones.
Unfortunately Gazza's wiki isn't among the choices but this is!

To thank Gazza for all the past research he has done for us, I did the legwork this time.
From the book "Mick Jagger: Rebel Knight" by Christopher Sandford:
The tour ended on March 18. Around midnight the group’s Daimler was traveling up Romford Road, a bleak zone of derelict flats and stucco shop fronts, when Wyman felt the call of nature. The car stopped at the Francis Service Station where the attendant, Charles Keeley refused. Thereupon, “eight or nine youths and girls” exited the car, including Jones, who uttered the memorable line, “We piss anywhere, man.” He, Wyman and Jagger then availed themselves of a nearby wall witnessed by a Mr. Eric Lavender, who dutifully noted the Daimler’s number.
The three Stones were charged with insulting behaviour. At East Ham Magistrates Court Jagger testified that the group “had every reason to be happy” that night before adding mysteriously, “I’ve never been in a bad enough mood to want to hit anyone…We have played in many places from Texas to Miami to Helsinki and this is the first time we have been in any trouble with the police.” Fined 5 pounds, the Magistrates’ chairman then issued a warning, laughed off at the time, which appeared all too prescient later:
“Because you have reached the exalted heights in your profession, it does not mean you have the right to act like this. On the contrary, you should set a standard of behaviour which should be a moral pattern for your large number of supporters. You have been found guilty of behaviour not becoming young gentlemen.”

Yes, Brian was arrested, not Keith...
There's also [I think Bill Wyman's] version:
Owner: Get off of my forecourt!
Brian: Get off of my foreskin!
Then they started chanting that.

From what I remember they (The Stones & Stu) were on a bus & Bill had a lot of bladder problems, so they had to stop to take a piss, when the guy refused them the gas Station toilet, they pissed against the wall, I don't know if anybody said "I'll piss anywhere Man" Andrew Loog Oldham used this to the press big time, getting them the headline news, but it's great that somebody remembers this to the exact date. |

'Get off of my Cloud' was recorded six months after this incident. I wonder was the title inspired by this heated exchange! |
