Rob Sheffield Quote
True, there’s nothing as great as A Day in the Life, but 2000 Light Years From Home isn’t far behind, while Citadel, 2000 Man, or The Lantern can hang with anything else on Pepper. The psychedelic Stones peaked with the August 1967 double-sided single of Dandelion and We Love You, an All You Need Is Love parody with backing vocals from John and Paul. The Stones filmed a video for We Love You as a commentary on their drug trials, set in a Victorian courtroom. Mick plays Oscar Wilde, in the dock for crimes of love; Marianne Faithfull plays his boy toy Lord Alfred Douglas. And as the judge—Keith, of course, complete with wig, robe, and gavel.
