ROLLING STONES

Although a world tour may have to wait until next year, the Rolling Stones are busy overseeing the most extensive documentary of their 50-year-career. Rolling Stone spoke to the still-unnamed doc's director Brett Morgen, who explained that the "the film will deliver the original, bold, sexy and dangerous flavor of the iconic rock band."

Morgen, best known for the 2002 Robert Evans doc, The Kid Stays In The Picture, spoke about the scope of the upcoming Stones film, explaining, "Nobody has put the story together as a narrative. We've been looking under every rock going through their archives. It will be music never heard before, and I've conducted 50-plus hours of interviews so far. By the time we're done, they will be the most extensive group interviews they've ever done. I'm not a historian or a journalist, so I'm interested in mythology and filmmaking and creating something that feels really cinematic. The way I sort of see this film is it's like bottling up the essence of the Rolling Stones in a film."

He went on to say that the bandmembers will all have a voice in the film: "I think they all have such unique points of view. We're not doing a Roshomon thing where they're contradicting each other. It's just that Bill Wyman was as different from Keith Richards or Mick Jagger as you can get. You know, Charlie Watts is his own character with a very different type of approach to rock and roll than the other guys, so I think countering that sort of individuality is hopefully going to make the film quite endearing to the audience."

Mick Jagger admits that it's a pretty heady experience when you figure that he and the Stones have affected the lives of millions of people that'll never get to meet: "I mean, it's fantastic that you can do that. People say to me, 'I lost my virginity when they played 'Beast Of Burden,' and I sometimes go out and think of that when we play the song, y'know? That is really. . . makes me feel really good."

MICK FLEETWOOD/FLEETWOOD MAC

Mick Fleetwood is afraid that Fleetwood Mac will never tour again. Fleetwood, who last toured with the band during their massively successful 2009 dates, told Playboy, "I don't believe Fleetwood Mac will ever tour again, but I really hope we do. We have rehearsed and prepared for it since 2010. We were supposed to tour in 2011, but we delayed it for a year to allow Stevie Nicks to support her solo record and for Lindsey Buckingham to do the same with his. I've always been supportive of my bandmates doing solo albums, so long as we kept our band together. . . I played drums on most of Stevie's album, the one she is still out there supporting and the one that is the reason that, for now, she refuses to do a Fleetwood Mac tour. It comes down to her."

Fleetwood, along with John McVie, has never enjoyed the songwriting royalties that Buckingham, Nicks, and former member Christine McVie have, and relied on the band's live activities for their living.

Fleetwood went on to say: "Stevie is really proud of her new album, and I get that, but she will not let it go. . . She's insistent upon working it (album) until it is incapable of growing further. I understand what she likes about her situation: Touring in support of her album, she is able to be her, without any degree of compromise. She doesn't have to worry about the other three of us asking her to do anything. . . She has become obsessed with her album in a very nice but inconvenient way."

After 30 years of juggling both solo work and Fleetwood Mac band duties, Stevie Nicks told us that she's finally come to terms with the difference between the two jobs: "Being in a band -- you're not the boss. And I always wanted to be in a band, from the very beginning when I was 17; I wanted to be in a band. And when you're in a band, you're a team. When you're in your solo work -- I'm the boss. And I've decided that I actually do like being the boss; but, I've been in Fleetwood Mac for so long that I understand how to not be the boss, and to be part of the team, and to be a team player."

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

During Bruce Springsteen's Keynote Address yesterday at Austin's South By Southwest Music and Media Conference, he spoke about many subjects regarding rock n' roll during his 50 minute chat. Unlike some other speakers, who preferred the Q&A experience, Springsteen had a prepared speech and at times broke into song to demonstrate points on such classics as the Animals' "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" and Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land."

Springsteen spoke about his earliest influences -- including Elvis Presley -- and defined the invaluable importance of "The King" by saying, "Elvis was the first modern, 20th century man, he was a precursor of the sexual revolution, of the civil rights revolution, drawn from the same Memphis as Martin Luther King, creating fundamental outsider art that would be embraced by a mainstream popular culture. Television and Elvis gave us full access to a new language, a new form of communication, a new way of being, a new way of thinking about sex, about race, about identity, about life. A new way of being an American, a human being and a new way of hearing music. Once he was heard and seen in action, you could not put the genie back in the bottle. There was yesterday, there was today, and there was a red-hot hot rockabilly forging of a new tomorrow before your eyes."

Backstreets.com reported that on Wednesday night in Austin, Springsteen sat in with good friend Alejandro Escovedo at the 30th annual Austin Music Awards performing with Joe Ely on Jimmie Dale Gilmore's "Midnight Train," Springsteen and Escovedo's previous collaboration "Always A Friend," and Woody Guthrie's "Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad," before ending with a jam on the Rolling Stones' "Beast Of Burden."

Last night Springsteen & The E Street Band performed at Austin's ACL Live at the Moody Theatre. Tom Morello joined the band during an electric version of "The Ghost Of Tom Joad," and the show's encores featured a three-song cameo by reggae superstar Jimmy Cliff who performed his signature tunes "The Harder They Come," "Time Will Tell," and "Many Rivers To Cross." Eric Burdon joined Bruce and the band to sing his 1965 Animals classic, "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" -- which Springsteen had briefly performed during his keynote speech earlier in the day and saluted by saying: "That's every song I've ever written." The band went on to welcome Joe Ely, Alejandro Escovedo, Garland Jeffreys, Tom Morello, and the Low Anthem for the show closer -- "This Land Is Your Land."

AEROSMITH

Aerosmith is working on a new version of the song "Legendary Child," which was originally written during the sessions for 1993's Get A Grip album. The new edition of the tune will be featured on the soundtrack of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which arrives in theatres at the end of June. The song could possibly appear on Aerosmith's new studio album, out later this year. (Brave Words)

HOW TO SEEM MORE IRISH (AskMen.com)

Adopt an Irish brogue: The surest way of passing yourself off as a genuine Son of Erin is to adopt an Irish brogue, or accent. Brogue originally referred to a type of coarse leather shoe, and since to most observers, the Irish sound as though they're struggling to talk with cheap footwear lodged in their mouths, it makes sense that the word would come to mean an Irish accent.

Wear a little green or orange. . . but never together: Although most Irishmen aren't particularly fashion conscious, they do have very strong feelings when it comes to the colors green and orange. That's because orange has come to represent the Protestant Church while green has come to represent the Catholic Church. In the interest of not offending either party, it's best not to mix the two colors in a single outfit.

Learn to tell a tall tale: The Irish are born with an innate ability to regale audiences with a tall tale. Although this God-given gift o' gab runs the gamut from amusing anecdotes to far-flung fairy tales, the stories themselves are always told with humor, conviction and just a wee bit of exaggeration.

Swear like a mother$#%&er: Many words that are deemed deeply offensive in America are thrown about freely in Ireland to spice up conversations, enliven stories or to simply greet one's mother. So, start cussing like a sailor on shore leave and you'll be guaranteed to fit right in.

Make fun of the Scottish: It has been said that proximity breeds contempt, which is probably why the Irish delight in making jokes at the expensive of their Scottish neighbors.

Learn a blessing or two: Whether Catholic or Protestant, the Irish are a deeply religious people who spew blessings at the same rate that some folks exhale.

Get a severe sunburn: Perhaps it's the nature of living on one of the planet's largest bogs, but Irishmen rarely seem to get a decent tan. In fact, many of Erin's sons have been known to get a third-degree burn simply from sitting next to a fluorescent light bulb. You too can appear to be Irish by adding some of your girlfriend's rouge to your cheeks neck and forehead. While you're at it, borrow her eyebrow pencil to generously apply freckles all over your crimson red mug.

Give yourself an Irish name: Common Irish surnames include Murphy, McDonnell, McDonald, O'Connor, Callaghan, and Fitzgerald, while common first names include Ryan, Angus, Devin, Finnegan, and Seamus. When in doubt, simply tack on an "O'" or a "Mc" to your name.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY TRIVIA (HuffingtonPost.com)

• First St. Patrick's Day parade took place in 1737 in Boston.
• Did not become a national holiday in Ireland in 1903 and the first parade wasn't held in Dublin until 1931.
• St. Patrick's true given name was Maewyn Succat.
• Saint Patrick was known for banishing dangerous animals from Ireland, particularly snakes, according to legend.
• St. Patrick's celebrations were originally religious festivals.
• There are more Americans of Irish origin than there are Irish in Ireland (36 million Americans claimed Irish ancestry in 2008; population of Ireland was 4.4 million at the time).

10 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ST. PATRICK'S DAY (TopTenz.net)

10. Shamrocks: Of course with St. Patrick's Day comes the massive appearance of shamrocks. Whether you're wearing one pinned to your lapel or you have them on your socks, shamrocks have definitely become a central symbol for this day. In the olden days in Ireland, the shamrock was seen as sacred. Due to its green color and overall shape, many believed it to represent rebirth and life. The four leaves of the clover represent faith, love, hope, and of course, luck. Because of this, the shamrock has continued to be very popular in the Irish culture. When the Irish were under control of the English, many silent protests were held, and each person would wear a shamrock pinned to their shirt. From then on the shamrock has became a very well-known symbol that represents Ireland and the Irish people.

9. Prohibition in Ireland...Really: When you think of March 17, you almost surely will think of beer, and when you think of someone Irish, you probably think of beer and pubs as well. But, in the history of Ireland, beer wasn't always a given on this widely-celebrated day. in 1903, a member of the Irish parliament, James O'Mara introduced a new bill that called to recognize St. Patrick's Day as a religious observation in Ireland. However, because this was made a law, this meant that all of the local pubs had to close; therefore, no beer was readily available. So for 67 years, the Irish suffered through a total shut down of all pubs until 1970 when the law was overturned and the holiday was no longer a religious observance, but a national holiday.

8. Only Three Locations Truly Care: While many places all over the world celebrate St. Patrick's Day, from the U.S. to Australia to Argentina and South Korea, only a very select few locations have actually made this day a public holiday for everyone. First, the very tiny island sometimes known as "Emerald Island of the Caribbean," Montserrat, is one of three countries that publicly celebrate the holiday. This is due to the high number of Irish refugees that came from Nevis and St. Kitts to the island. So to commemorate them, the holiday is celebrated. The holiday is also considered to be a public one in Newfoundland and Labrador. Here the holiday is celebrated to remember a failed slave uprising that occurred in 1798. And of course, last but not least, Ireland has made March 17 a public holiday as well.

7. Yes, Hallmark Makes Some Money Too: We all know about Hallmark and their greetings that are perfect for some of the most prized holidays such as Christmas, Mother's Day, and even Valentine's Day. If you've ever given someone a card, or received a card yourself, you've probably opened one that was closed by Hallmark's famous gold seal. Though it seems crazy, on St. Patrick's Day, Hallmark usually sells anywhere from 8-15 million St. Patrick's Day cards each year. But, offering these cards to the public isn't anything new for Hallmark. According to their website, the company has been offering these green cards since the early 1920s, and there is always a wide selection to choose from, usually between 100-150 cards each year.

6. So does McDonalds: If you've ever taken a look at McDonald's 'dessert' menu, to put it lightly, you've surely seen the pies, ice cream, cookies, and probably even one of those fruit parfaits. You've probably also noticed the varying milkshakes that McDonald's offers, especially during certain holidays and seasons. Usually around the end of February or beginning of March, McDonalds offers its Shamrock Shake. Of course the milkshake is nothing but a green color that tastes like mint. First served in 1970, the shake had become very popular in the U.S., Canada, and Ireland but today is mostly popular in the U.S. Prices of the shake have about doubled in the last decade, and new additions are often added. Recently, McDonalds has served the shakes with whipped cream topped with a cherry.

5. Evacuation Day: With every event that occurs, there's usually some sort of coincidence to it, and St. Patrick's Day is no exception. In a few counties in Massachusetts, the state with the largest amount Irish population (about one-fourth), there is a celebration of a day known as Evacuation Day. Mainly the day is celebrated in Somerville, Cambridge, and Suffolk County. While Boston is already well known for its celebration of St. Patrick's Day, Evacuation Day is important as well. Coincidentally the holiday falls on March 17, but it does commemorate a very special event in Irish history. On March 17, 1776, the British forces left Boston after troops headed by Henry Knox and George Washington placed heavy artillery around the city. To celebrate this significant event, counties in Massachusetts made the day a holiday in 1901. However, the holiday is usually under heavy fire, as some see it as a waste of money, as workers are paid for a day off.

4. Snakes in an Ocean: We've all heard one Irish folklore story or another, especially those centered on St. Patrick. One very popular story is that St. Patrick was able to chase all of the snakes out of Ireland where they then drowned in the ocean. However, when it comes down to it, St. Patrick didn't chase any snakes out of anywhere, nor can you take folklore literally. In all reality, there has never been any record of snakes living anywhere near the Emerald Isle. Instead, figurative language was often used in these folklores, and in this case, the serpents more than likely represented druid and pagan religions that slowly disappeared from Ireland over a period of centuries after St. Patrick is said to have placed the seeds of Christianity there.

3. New York Has More Irish Pride: With a holiday all about the Irish, you'd probably think that the biggest and most widely known celebrations come from nowhere else but Ireland. However, as history shows, Ireland isn't the country that tops the list with Irish pride, at least not when it comes to celebration and festivities. After decades of studying, no one has found the exact time when St. Patrick's Day was first widely celebrated. The first known depiction of the holiday comes from a man named Jonathan Swift, who mentions a 1713 celebration taking place in London. The only thing mentioned is a day where Westminster Parliament was given a holiday and that buildings were decorated in green. In 1762 in New York City, the first parade honoring this holiday took place. Today it stands as the largest celebration and parade in the U.S. Almost 3 million people come to see the parade, with contains over 150,000 people that span a mile and a half long.

2. Green or Blue? Though green is a very popular color on St. Patrick's Day, the original color that was very popular and often related back to St. Patrick was not green, but blue. However, in today's world, if you're without an ounce of green, expect a pinch! In Irish folklore, green is known as being worn by immortals and fairies, and often signified new life and crop growth. Some even say that wearing green is considered to be unlucky as it is known to represent a time in Irish history when Ireland was not a free country. Blue came into the picture long ago when the military men wore "St. Patrick's Blue" in their uniforms. The blue is also represented during the time when Henry VIII was declared King of Ireland and the flag used was a gold harp on a blue background. But today, green is the prominently known and worn color. In Chicago, the Chicago River is dyed green using 40 pounds of green vegetable dye.

1. St. Patrick Wasn't Irish: Because St. Patrick's Day is so popular in Ireland, and all you really ever hear about on the date is Irish this Irish that, you probably just assume that St. Patrick is well...Irish. However, your assumption would be wrong. St. Patrick was actually Scottish and was said to be either born in Scotland or Wales. Even more shocking is that his name wasn't even Patrick. His birth name is actually Maewyn Succat. However, at the age of 16, he was kidnapped and sold into Irish slavery. Later on in time he became a priest under bishop of Auxerre and took on the name Patricius, better known as Patrick. Here he felt that this was his calling to being Christianity and Ireland closer together. In any case, the Scottish should get some recognition on this day as well.
