'Stert Fighting Man'
OK, let's get something straight whilst I have your attention, I do have your attention don't I? (taps the screen a couple of times) - I'm not some huge Rolling Stones superfan or anything, I just like the whole aggregates on the railways thing tied to a particular subject by my usual methods - the use of dreadful puns, wild assumptions, tortured metaphors and crazy hunches. I only know the same Stones songs as you do (y'know, just the hits) but I have a predilection for Wikipedia (and using big words it seems) and I'm not afraid to use it. Onwards...
DB's 66193 drags the usual wonderful collection of waifs and strays known as 6M20 10.38 Whatley to Churchyard sidings, St Pancras eastward out of the Stert Valley at the site of the old Patney and Chirton station. The station here and all others on the branch line, opened in 1857, to Holt junction, Melksham via Devizes closed in 1966. The section from Westbury to this point, just traversed by the 66, is known to all as part of the Berks and Hants line but in fact was not opened until 1900 as the Stert and Westbury Railway.
Speaking of old things, the unstoppable songwriting powerhouse of Jagger and Richards churned out 'Street Fighting Man' as part of 1968's 'Beggars Banquet' album. The track was inspired by Jagger's keen observation of various acts of civil disobedience and unrest around the world during the late 60s.
I don't really see Mick himself as the song's titular character, he's more of a lover than a fighter - as evidenced by his 19 children (that he knows of) and 37 grandchildren (and counting).
