Re: Bernie videos on YouTube and other video sites
Delilah, I believe you may be thinking of Bernie’s disapproval of the dubious tribute given to Gram Parsons’ remains by his friends, yet in mild California surfer language.
It was something like, “it’s really not OK to burn your friend’s body and leave it in the desert.”

Peneumbra - You really should write your memoirs ! You have such interesting stories that I love hearing. Mick Jagger should have known better than to hire Hell's Angles for security. I remember seeing bits and pieces of the movie on tv.

The two quotes were:
"You don't just leave him at the side of the road, half-burnt. That's not very cool."
"People have been killed in sight of the stage while the Stones were playing 'Sympathy for the Devil,' and everybody went 'this is a little not O.K.'"

Thank you, Scarlet Sun! You da man.
Ah, Bernie. A master of the understatement.

Thanks for the quotes, SS! According to the Selvin’s book the Stones were performing “Under My Thumb” while Hunter was being murdered but the doc used “Sympathy for the Devil” for dramatic effect. Also, it was “Sympathy” that was referenced in Don McLean’s “American Pie.”
NMB, so true about Bernie!

Re: Bernie videos on YouTube and other video sites
No! 80s videos of Bernie are so rare. Thanks!
Re: Bernie videos on YouTube and other video sites
This video was posted here already but it was back in 2008 and the link is broken. So I’m re-posting here. Bernie sings lead on “God Loves His Children” starting at 2:41. This was sometime in the 80s. He looks and sounds good - it’s probably his most clean-cut look ever.
