Southern covered the Rolling Stones 1972 American Tour , where he met and began a collaboration with Peter Beard , and they would work sporadically on the never-filmed screenplay '' The End of the Game '' until Southern 's death . Southern immersed himself in the bacchanalian atmosphere of the tour , and his essay on the Stones tour , " Riding The Lapping Tongue " , was published in the August 12 , 1972 , edition of '' Saturday Review '' . He also wrote a bawdy anti-Nixon skit which was performed at a George McGovern fundraiser , and " Twirlin ' at Ole Miss " was included in '' The New Journalism ''
