You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Possibly my favourite of all the Stones' songs. "Not everything that is faced can be changed; but nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin | |

Jagger to the art director: "No, I said I see myself lyin' on top of a woman..." [Edited 6/21/11 6:14am] "Not everything that is faced can be changed; but nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin | |

My dad used to have that disc and played this song to death . I always liked it, but my favorite song by The Stones is probably "Start Me Up". "I don't think you'd do well in captivity." - random person's comment to me the other day | |

Don't remember, but it was mid 80's. They used to show this video on MTV and Video Soul. I've never heard it on the radio though.
