Gimme Shelter (from the Glasto rain)

The Today programme played a cruel joke on The Rolling Stones with news that they will be playing at Glastonbury this year.  Given their advanced years, the signature song selected by the BBC was The Last Time ('this could be the last time, maybe the last time, I don't know').   It may be the first time The Stones are playing at the Pyramid but they are well beyond their prime - the music endures but they have replaced being pumped with drugs with being pumped with formaldehyde.  At least, with their performance at an established event like Glasto, they (or rather their associates) won't be hiring Hell's Angels as the security like happened at Altamont.
