Andrew Loog Oldham (manager, Rolling Stones) : The war wasn't over that long ago, and we weren't exactly pro-German. Satisfaction was out and the automatic thing that comes to mind is goose-stepping. So that's going on backstage, as everyone is quite frivolous. Next thing I know Jagger is out onstage doing that. They were playing in a big fucking tin shed. There were lots of police with big dogs.
