Al Alavrez — please keep your posts on-topic. Attacking other users doesn’t help save movie theaters, and it can get you banned from this website.
How about Bufferin, if it’s still made ? It might be easier on the stomach than some of the posts on this thread.
To keep this on the topic, earlier this week, the Stones were supposed to play the Beacon Theater, at 74th and Bway in Manhattan, and didn’t, because Jagger lost his voice, and were sued as a result, so forget about them playing at the Ridgewood Theater, however good and enjoyable that would be.
Yes, Al. I’m appalled. And disgusted. Only, it isn’t from YOUR comments. To the new CT blog editor, Mike Zoldessy… I offer my condolences and a bottle of Bayer aspirin.
It seems to me fella that you provoke the trouble and do not like it when people get fed up and respond to you. No one was bothering you. You took it upon yourself to chastise us for conversing about an actress and a movie. The webmaster is in charge here and not you. It you could just leave us alone we would gladly do the same.
I hear ya BrooklynJim. The other day I was having a conversation with PKoch about Marianne Faithfull who is a singer and actress and the Rolling Stones. Perhaps we did stray slightly off topic. As PKoch had predicted would happen; we were chastised by the ‘cranky fella’. Next was the appearance of ‘Art Theatre’ with his inflammatory message. The nice people are leaving this website because of altercations such as this. You have to be so careful what you write because you might stray off topic and be attacked by ‘Warren’ or ‘Art Theatre’. It appears that their goal is to eliminate people like us so this website will be for diehard historians with no regular people welcome.
Whenever a certain cranky PITA* is ignored lately, it seems that his equally crabby alter-ego (or toady) is never very far behind. Check his profile. His comments, restricted to only 3 theater pages since August, will give you a strong whiff of this clown’s negative scent. Has anyone else besides EdS and me noticed this predictable pattern? My Rx for this guy/these guys is a daily double nightcap of vinegar and water, followed by mainlining some extra-strength Geritol. Get a “reel” life!
Looking forward to attending some flix at the Ridgewood this winter. Find out if they can still get the heat up. Hope some of you kindred spirits and fellow travelers can cut corners on your social calendars and hang out, too. ;)

I do not lead anyone ‘Art Theatre’. The other fella’s can speak for themselves. If you had been suspended the last time you played these games under your other alias we wouldn’t be having this conversation now. You are a disturbed individual.
Perhaps using a pseudonym has degraded the ability to think for many of you folks. The off-topic bilge by the new leader “mikemovies” and his cohorts is an abomination. Infantile ravings should be taken to myspace.com. Allow this website to be used by true theatre historians.
Actually lost, you can search by former names. Just click “previous names” after you do your initial search.
The Regent Theater in Bay Shore is currently the Boulton Center. The Regent was a porn theater for a while (which kept it alive, and happier days came when it was renovated into the Boulton Center. It’s a performing arts center now, but it still does show movies (like on Halloween they may do an Alfred Hitchcock double header for example). Click their official link which is listed in the description of the Boulton Center:

Yes, let’s remove the photo from the page; it messes it up like Bway posted.
Oh hi Warren, maybe YOU can tell me what Keith Richard(s) was mumbling when he put on that tape of the then-newly recorded “Brown Sugar”.
Ohh oh, can we remove the photo from this page? I know robert accidentally posted the image instead of the link, but it messes up the whole page. He posted the correct link in the above post under the photo.
Sorry pasted the wrong URL again

Someone doesn’t understand that Marianne Faithfull is an actress as well as a singer. Perhaps any mention of Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby or Dean Martin should also be banned because they happen to be singers as well as actors. Some people are just born troublemaker’s.
Let’s remember fella that you are not in charge. Perhaps you should start your own website.
Yes, mikemovies, I agree. In the interview I heard on WNYC in October 1994, Faithfull said that late 1969-early 1970, when “Sister Morphine” was composed and recorded, was a very unhappy period in her life when she wanted seriously to kill herself.
Yes, the hit song “Brown Sugar” starts off the album “Sticky Fingers”. It was recorded during the Stones' November-December 1969 USA tour and premiered at Altamont, December 6, 1969, at Mick Taylor’s suggestion, the infamous gig that ended that tour.
We hear an alternate mix (more lead guitar from Taylor)in the film “Gimme Shelter”, in the motel room scene (Keith : “Is anybody in ? Is my local groupie in ? Hello, darling, how are you ?”)in which the Stones, Ronnie Schneider and Jo Bergmann listen to a tape of it, after Keith puts it on and then mumbles something indistinct. Jagger asks, “When are the bags coming up, Ronnie ?” and someone says “Stu [ian Stewart]’s bringing up forty six pieces.”
The Sticky Fingers album had the hit song ‘Brown Sugar’. By the time that album was released Marianne Faithfull was already hooked on drugs. Perhaps the words to the song ‘Sister Morphine’ were more a cry for help then they were lyrics to a song. A pity that her life took such a horrible turn into the world of drugs.
Thanks, mikemovies. The Stones also had their own version of “As Tears Go By”, which was critically blasted as the Stones blatant copying of Paul McCartney’s “Yesterday”, because of the string backing.
“Sister Morphine”, another Jagger-Richards-Faithfull collaboration, appeared on “Sticky Fingers” in April or May 1971. I first heard Faithfull’s version on WNYC 93.9 FM’s superb interview show “Fresh Air” in October 1994.
Thanx fella’s. Now I understand why I was not familiar with the movie Maxigasm. The first hit song by Marianne Faithfull ‘As Tears Go By’ was co-written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. You can catch her early acting in the 1967 flick ‘I’ll Never Forget What’s 'is Name’ with Orson Welles.
Yes, Keith was not only still alive when Marianne had sex with him, in the mid-1960’s, but he may also still have had all his natural adult teeth, before he started losing them to drug use. In the film, “Gimme Shelter”, when he’s shown in closeup, smiling, at Muscle Shoals, he looks like he has pyorrhea. Ditto the inner sleeve photo of “Sticky Fingers”.
Keith will be 63 years of age this coming December 18th, but, yes, he looks more like 163. A friend of mine once said something similar in a newsletter of his.
Translator thingy ? Like the “Universal translator” of Star Trek ? Make people sound talking backwards like Master Yoda ?
If Warren complains about this off-topic Stones-related discussion, it will be analagous to Detective Sergeant Norman Pilcher busting Mick, Keith and Marianne at Keith’s Redlands home for drug use in February 1967.
Who’s the naked girl wrapped up in the fur rug ?
BTW, I never saw “Stoned”, the Brian Jones bio pic starring Leo Gregory as same, at the Sunshine Cinema in SoHo, in late February of this year.
Yes, Lost… Nothing it came to happen.
That’s EXACTLY what it looks like, Lost Memory. Thanks for doing this research.
African north, eh ? Morocco, Tangier, where in 1967 Anita Pallenberg switched from Brian Jones to the relative security of life with Keith Richards.
Just an idea and never filmed, unlike “Performance”, another Jagger-Richards-Pallenberg collaboration, which was filmed, in which Jagger played a retired rock star named Turner, supposedly a combination of Brian and Keith.
Faithfull had sex with Jagger, Richards and Jones, before deciding Jagger was her best bet.
Perhaps only released in Europe, Lost Memory. You’re a few years older than me and hence perhaps better able to track this.
Or maybe, like “Robot Monster”, it was never released, but merely escaped, only, unlike “Robot Monster”, it escaped in the form of bootleg copies.
