There are many stories about the recording of Street Fighting Man by the Rolling Stones. Some of them have Dave Mason sitting with Charlie and Keef in a hotel room - this variant, however, does not appear below. There are contradictions between Mick and Keef. I am inclined to believe Keef.
The story can be pieced together from interview snippets here: http://www.timeisonourside.com/SOStreetFighting.html

There is a more coherent version of the story here at the Wall Street Journal: http://online.wsj.com/articles/keit...ad-that-was-bugging-me8217-1386788547?tesla=y But sadly, this article is no longer public. No subscription - no reading.
