Excelsior was visited by the Rolling Stones during an early US tour by the band. Mick Jagger was sick, and got medicine at Brown's Drug store, which was once on Water Street. While standing in line he met "Mr. Jimmy", a local character, and the incident was immortalized in the song "You Can't Always Get What You Want". Jagger told this story during a Rolling Stone interview, confirming speculation by those who witnessed the incident. In the song, the town is called "Chelsea", not "Excelsior".Marhault 23:53, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
