“Jumpin’ Jack Flash” #3 7/6/1968

One of the most iconic 60’s songs of them all. Just about everybody can name this Rolling Stones classic within the first few chords, played in a non-standard tuning. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote this after the gardener (Jack Dyer) was stomping around in his work boots one rainy morning outside of Keith’s house and woke Mick up. The song became many things to many people, such as a line in Don McLean’s “American Pie” and the subject of a Whoopi Goldberg movie.
