Until you read this, only two people in the world knew about it, Chip Monck and myself. We were in Paris for the 1970 European Tour and we went to the Crazy Horse Saloon. For those of you that don’t know (Le Crazy Horse Saloon is a Parisian cabaret known for its stage shows performed by nude female dancers and for the diverse range of magic and variety ‘turns’ between each nude show..). Those that know me would probably say, typical, and that would be the idea for the European Tour for the Rolling Stones to include the Crazy Horse show. I have to stress the the show was not like the typical nude review, this was amazingly beautiful and artistic. We also were considering broadcasting it as well ( when I say we, I mean Chip and I, as no one else knew about the concept. Of course we would have to make it an adults only show but I always thought it was a great idea.. The Rolling Stones and the Crazy Horse Girls.. (I would appreciate any comments as to what you would have thought of that show).
Anyhow, we had to research it…yeah I know…:-) We spent some time with the owner at the time Alain Bernardin, (the Crazy Horse -”it corresponded with his vision: “[Magic] is a dream. There is no show that is more dreamlike than a magic show. And what we do with the girls is magic, too. It’s the magic of lights and costumes. These are my dreams and fascinations that I put on stage) who said he liked the idea and had to think about it. After a bit of time he came back and said that whereas it was a good idea it wouldn’t work. He said that within two weeks of leaving Paris, all the wealthy Dukes, Princes, Barons etc would come out and basically seduce the girls into coming with them and we would not have a show and worse than that, he would lose all his girls. I still liked the idea of a live broadcast but we got busy and that was that.
So what to you think? Leave a comment and let me know!
