The Rolling Stones - Stones in Exile

Stones in Exile

Last night, members of the Wines That Rock crew were in attendance at New York's Museum of Modern Art for the Premier of ‘Stones In Exile’

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts were there to open the evening and introduce the film, which was shown in its entirety to a star studded audience. There was a fun reception afterwards, which they attended as well.

The film documents the Rolling Stones around 1971 as they are 'exiled' from the UK and take up residence in France. Keith Richards took up residence at a villa called Nellcôte in Villefranche-sur-Mer, which becomes the studio, living quarters and amazing Rolling Stones headquarters for the recording of band’s masterpiece “Exile On Main Street”.

The movie “Stones In Exile” tells the inside story of making the music in the band’s own words.  Great movie. Stones Fan or not, make it your business to see this one. It reminded me of why I’m a Rolling Stones fan and really made me want to go home and break out the album.  A rare glimpse into elements that make up the Rolling Stones mythos.  Someone at the event commented that this film should be required viewing for all. 

In attendance: Don Was, Dr. John, Jann Wenner, Jimmy Fallon, Lorne Michaels, Jason Sudeikis, Fred Armisen, Kristen Wiigand, Will Forte, Evangeline Lily, Diane von Furstenberg
