“It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll” – but it is Art too

Posted by Jack on September 2, 2008

The Rolling Stones: now, officially, national treasures….Thought they’d been put in a museum years ago….Artistic ‘Satisfaction’….’Wealth and Taste’….

Insert your own witty headline to celebrate the news that the original of the Stones’ famous “tongue ‘n’ lips” logo has been bought by the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Highbrow/lowbrow? Culture/Counter-Culture? Art or ‘merely’ Pop Art? Such are the questions which currently keep me (and Keef, I’m sure) awake at night.
