Not that you’d expect it. But give King Crimson’s “Ladies of the Road” a listen!

Some Girls came out in ‘77, and that was their last good album.

I’m sure the Christians would get on them for this one...

Far Away Eyes

I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
And the preacher said, ‘you know you always have the Lord by your side’
And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honor
Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord

[Chewbarkah]

Aimee Ferrier can rest easy. None of the Stones lyrics are about her.

[Blue Collar Christian]

It was a song about a woman who killed her sister-in-law and her illicit lover.

Garrett Morris, on Saturday Night Live, did a hilarious pseudo-outraged editorial during their faux news segment about ‘Some Girls’.

He paraphrased the song, saying “Black Girls just want to *make love* all night. I don’t have that much jam.”

Then, acting stern and serious, he said “I only have ONE question to ask Mr. Jagger... Where can I find these black girls?!”

Well allow Candy Slice to retort....

I am sick of the perpetually offended.

“I am offended that you’re offended “. /sarc

FYI, been to four Stones concerts over decades. They feckin’ rock. Except Keef can’t sing, interesting book though

[Kenny Bania]

Some Girls came out in ‘77, and that was their last good album.

Ummm...Tattoo You. Fantastic record, especially Side 2.

[drSteve78]

but by the age of 18 you suddenly prefer classical music.

Ummm, 🤔, no. And i played violin in a symphony for a decade.

[drSteve78]

Colored RAP, my little brother calls it, C RAP for short.

[Kenny Bania]

French girls they want Cartier
Italian girls want cars
American girls want everything in the world you can possibly imagine

[MotorCityBuck]

He is 86. Wow!
Yea. Charlie. Miss him on the drums also. You get used to certain things.👍

[Leep]

Under my Thumb could be the Tranny theme song.

[LouAvul]

They're trash. Always were. Always will be. Jagger's ex was on a talk show talking about interrupting Jagger and David Bowie in bed together.

Trailer trash.

[wardaddy]

Freepers are so ridiculous sometimes

Ironic some are like the flip side of the woke nickel

[Pelham]

The current crop seem to make that “most of the time”. And they share exactly the same mentality as the woke.

[Mr. Mojo]

<< “Black girls just wanna get F’d all night….” >>

The author omitted the rest of the sentence “….I just don’t have that much jam.”

[SamAdams76]

Some people are just spring-loaded to censorship.

Correct. There are people who literally sit around thinking of things that should be banned. Usually leftists.

[Mr. Mojo]

<< In the song (“Under My Thumb”), Jagger sings about asserting his dominance over a woman >>

Oh heaven forbid! I’m guessing that Aimee hasn’t ever penned a column expressing her disgust about rap lyrics, most of which make anything the Stones ever wrote look tame by comparison.
