ON THIS DAY IN 1965
TODAY: THE RIFF FROM SATISFACTION

In the night of May 6 to 7, 1965, Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones came up with the riff for (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction. The band is currently on an American tour and is sleeping in a hotel in Clearwater, Florida. According to Richards, he woke up at night with the riff in his head. He gets up, records it and then goes back to sleep. Later that day, he and Mick Jagger finish the song. The text is about the commercialization of society that Jagger encounters in America.
