April 23
It's April 23rd
On this day in 1967 - Soyuz 1 is launched into orbit.
In 1971 - The Rolling Stones releases "Sticky Fingers"
In 1976 - The Rolling Stones releases "Black and Blue"
\\ The promotional campaign involved a brutal display coordinated by Mick Jagger. He wanted an ugly model to look bruised and battered while she is bound with her legs spread above an image of the band. The image was accompanied by the tagline, "I'm Black and Blue from the Rolling Stones – and I love it!". In Jagger's view, a lot of women "want to be chained up". Atlantic Records also recorded a series of radio ads featuring a woman responding to the crack of a whip, "Ooooh, beat me, beat me, make me 'Black and Blue'...I love it." The visual campaign ran in print media and most notably on a 14x48-foot billboard on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. The billboard inspired a multiyear protest by Women Against Violence Against Women. The controversy over the tasteless promotional campaign overshadowed the album's release. The label's assurances that it was not condoning violence did not satisfy WAVAW who responded with a boycott //
