I think the first two Rolling Stones albums are completely punk. Stylistically, they really have all the elements of punk music in there. You know, the fringe aspect of the beatnik scene and all of that early ‘60s music scene was similar. It was the same. It was all on the outsides of society. So when we got to CBGBs and everything, it just seemed normal. It was a great thing to be involved with, but I'd always been on the periphery of the music scene.
