  • Experience the classic music video "Waiting On A Friend" by The Rolling Stones through the fascinating lens of then and now.
    Pop culture historian and host David Lindner guides you through the most iconic locations from this historic 1981 video, sharing insights into the famous shooting locations in Greenwich Village and the reality of 1980s New York versus today.
    Released as the second single from their 1981 album "Tattoo You", "Waiting On A Friend" reached #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and quickly became a pop culture favorite. As Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day says, "It's one of the best songs they've ever written. When you're up in heaven, or wherever you're at, you're just waiting on friends to come along."
    So, pull up a front stoop step and enjoy your view into Then & Now: Waiting On A Friend.

    I was 14 when that song came out, and the first time I heard it, it blew right into my soul. I have no idea why, but it made me even then very melancholy, it seemed nostalgic even when it was brand new. To this day, it still takes me somewhere else in my spirit... to the past, to long times gone, to my youth. It makes me even more wistful now, a bit sad at how fast time has gotten away. Few songs have the power to truly mark the passing of your years and retain that same power on at both the early and later parts of your lifetime. This song has that. I truly love it.

    In the late 1970s the east village was a run down crime-ridden area but there were musicians and artists there taking advantage of the lower rents. I was one of them. CBGBs and later The Pyramid Club were outposts of culture. Completely un-gentrified. 2nd Ave was the border. St Marks Bar & Grill was a place were musicians used to go. It was bare-bones and cheap but decidedly hip. There was a music revolution going on with bands with the punk movement. We had a disdain for old cliche "corporate rock". So when I saw The Stones at The St Marks Bar & Grill I felt exploited in some way. I felt a disconnected. But then I thought it was cool that they connected with that scene that was so low-rent and grass roots. I've always been a fan and I'm still a fan. Thanks for the video.
