Rolling Stones fan? Watch them work out "Sympathy for the Devil"
Dan Colman has an excellent clip. He notes:
Jean-Luc Godard, one of the founders of New Wave French cinema, directed “Sympathy for the Devil” during the tumultuous summer of 1968. The film is part rockumentary, part advertisement for left-wing ideas that were alive at the time. (There’s no real way to sugarcoat that.) Above, Godard takes you inside the recording sessions of the Rolling Stones’ classic, “Sympathy for the Devil.” As the clip goes on, you can see the song, as we know it, unfold.
The first time I heard this on the radio, I thought it was by a (very good) Christian Rock band. The title, of course, would have been the first hint I was wrong. But a song about how the devil is behind so much bad in history?
