In July 1972, at the end of another predictably chaotic, decadent
but also highly profitable tour by the Rolling Stones, a sumptuous
party was held on the roof of the St Regis Hotel in New York. The
guests included Andy Warhol, Candy Darling and Zsa Zsa Gabor among
many other socialites and aristocrats. An unctuous atmosphere
pervaded as the chattering guests fawned over themselves and their
hosts, the Rolling Stones. The dignified black blues musician, Muddy
Waters, one of their prime influences, was also on the roof
performing for those invited. Yet amid the delirium of sycophancy,
he was ignored.
