Today, in Musical History, December 12, 2008: The town where Mick Jagger and Keith Richards grew up - Dartford, Kent - announces that it's going to re-name 13 streets after Rolling Stones songs.
"Angie Mews", "Babylon Close", "Sympathy Vale", "Little Red Walk" and "Satisfaction Street" are just some of the ideas, with council leader Jeremy Kite opining that "Ruby Tuesday Drive sounds like a fantastic place to live".
Local police, however, were concerned that street signs would be stolen by fans.
Hmph. AS if any serious Stones fan would even want to steal something as normal and as average as a street sign, especially one approved of by the authorities; Any REAL Stones fan would just VANDALIZE them.
(The town already goes out of it's way to remind anybody and everybody and the Glimmer Twins lived there as kids - Plaques on subway platforms, public statues, blah blah blah. They're not at all subtle about it...)
