Rolling Stones - Shine A Light

"So all the inspiration that I was able to put into Mean Streets has to do with just listening to their music. Not watching them on stage. It came from the image I got in my head when I was listening to the Aftermath album, or 'Jumpin' Jack Flash', 'Sympathy For the Devil' - how 'Sympathy For the Devil' became this score for our lives. It was everywhere at that time, it was being played on the radio. 'Satisfaction', everywhere being played on the radio. When 'Satisfaction' starts, the authority of the guitar riff that begins it is something that became anthemic."

-- Martin Scorcese, speaking about the influence the music of The Rolling Stones held on him as a filmmaker. Scorcese, in partnership with Mick Jagger, filmed the Stones' Beacon Theater shows a year ago, and The Guardian UK writes about the upcoming film work "Shine A Light" in mixing progress and what it meant to Marty.
