Tonight’s mystery artist once said that the best place to write new music is while on tour because once home he wants to relax and read. Any guess who he might be??

It was back in 1968 that a then young Mick Jagger was asked by rolling Stone magazine if he ever wrote songs while on the road?

Mick’s reply, "Oh yeah, always. It's the best place to write because you're just totally into it. You get back from a show, have something to eat, a few beers and just go to your room and write. I used to write about twelve songs in two weeks on tour. It gives you lots of ideas. At home it's very difficult because you don't want to do anything really but read, and things like that.” 

I confess I never thought of him as a reader, shows you what I know.

10 years later Mick and the guys would record tonight’s featured song.
