I always thought Under My Thumb was meant to sound like a Motown song, with unMotown lyrics.

Under My Thumb? Ridiculous! A song about the tables being turned. Both sexes can be domineering & abusive.

There’s nothing quite as satisfying as the woke eating their own.

Some people are just spring-loaded to censorship.

Nothing wrong with any of these songs.

They’re just songs, not supremacist manifestos sung to music.

Learn to live, Wokesters!

Next thing they’ll say is Stephen Foster was a racist and a homophobe because the darkies were gay.

I would have submitted “State of Shock” (done with M. Jackson). being subjected to that song on a three record rotation at the FM station played at my data entry job at NORC ALL DAY LONG was like having an eight hour root canal without novacaine.

I am quite sure that Jagger and Jackson said, ANY garbage we put out will hit the top.

Why would they have a three record rotation. I suppose any song would drive you crazy after that.

It was originally recorded with Jackson and Freddie Mercury: Michael Jackson & Freddie Mercury - State of Shock - Rare Recording

Dead Flowers is about heroin addiction.

That won’t get cancelled though, the Left is all about drug use.

You thought you were a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you can’t come back and be the first in line, oh no

You’re obsolete my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby you’re out of time

You walk up to me
And try to look shy
The red round your eyes
Says that you ain’t a child
Get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
Ride on, baby, ride on, baby
Well I’ve seen your face in a trashy magazine
You know where you’re going but I don’t like the places you’ve been

The writer of this article can go to hell.

Yeah friggin Rolling Stones shouldn’t have written about sex or drugs or anything controversial.

Sad to see Jagger slightly disavow some classic lyrics.

God forbid you say Asian girls are “gentle”

Or that the Stones had groupies.

The Stones would have been better off having lyrics that included killing cops and banging ho’s.

Sad that they won’t play Brown Sugar any more, but, yeah, the lyrics ARE pretty offensive.

I’ve seen my share and more of concerts, and one of the best 5 songs I’ve seen was Brown Sugar, Rich Stadium, Buffalo, ‘75 or ‘76. 80,000 people singing yeah...yeah... YEAH...WOOOOOOH !!! at the top of their lungs.

Great stuff.
