About this Raddle

“Paint It Black” — sometimes stylized as “Paint It, Black” — came out in 1966. Its use of sitar immediately sparked comparisons to the Beatles, who had also begun experimenting with elements of Indian music. Guitarist Brian Jones’ response to the comparison: “What utter rubbish.”

Theme: Rolling Stones

This week's Raddles are inspired by songs by the Rolling Stones.
