1. Tennis champion, Hana Mandlikova, was once asked how she felt about defeating great players like Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert-Lloyd. She replied, "Any big win means that all the suffering, practicing and traveling are worth it. I feel like I own the world." She was then asked how long that feeling lasted, and she replied, "About 2 minutes."

Richards awoke with an excessive hangover, a room full of women groupies, and a seemingly endless line of empty liquor bottles covering the room; as well as, drug paraphernalia scattered abroad. This was the lyric on his mind, "I Can't Get No Satisfaction."
5. Mick Jagger wrote the rest of the lyrics to the song that read:

He's tellin' me more and more
