I wonder if Mick wrote that song? It’s a masterpiece for the ages.

I had no idea so I looked it up. Wikipedia says that Jagger wrote the lyrics (good guess) and Keith Richards wrote the music. It also says the Bill Wyman claims in his book that it was a group effort.

The WHO was always my favorite Brit Invasion band but in my old age I have to drop my bias and admit that the Stones put out some songs with brilliant poignancy that will live on for a very long time. Paint It Black is one of them.

I wonder if those young Brit rockers had any idea how well it would fit the times? It sure struck a resounding chord in America in 1966.
