Music to help you sleep: sweet dreams are made of this. One of the 20th Century’s most iconic rock songs came to Keith Richards in a dream. The Rolling Stones guitarist woke up to find he had recorded the opening riff of “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” – albeit in embryonic form - on a cassette player by his bed.
