The eagle picks my eye, The worm he licks my bone; I feel so suicidal just like Dylan's Mr. Jones... The Beatles - Yer Blues
As per wikipedia "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus is a film released in 1996 of an 11 December 1968 event put together by The Rolling Stones. The event comprised two concerts on a circus stage and included such acts as The Who, Taj Mahal, Marianne Faithfull, and Jethro Tull. John Lennon and his fiancee Yoko Ono performed as part of a supergroup called The Dirty Mac, along with Eric Clapton, Mitch Mitchell, and Keith Richards."

2014: Best of the Year
And we cannot reach any higher, If we can't deal with ordinary love... Ordinary Love - U2
2014 for me was a very strong year in Music. Maybe the best in several years. As I repeat myself each year, I love year end "best of" music lists and here is mine:
SONGS OF THE YEAR:
ALBUMS OF THE YEAR:
ARTIST OF THE YEAR - U2
U2 released Ordinary Love in late 2013 (my favorite song of the year).. They followed up with a free ITunes download of their next single, Invisible on Super Bowl Sunday (my #2 favorite song). Money donated and later from sales went to (RED), an organisation co-founded by Bono, to fight AIDS. Then in September the band released it's long awaited follow up to 2009's No Line On the Horizon as a free from ITunes dowload, their 13th studio album Songs of Innocence(my favorite album of the year).
