Mick Jagger sauntered drunkly up to Linda Ronstadt backstage one night and asked her why she did not sing rock and roll songs.
Linda challenged Mick to teach her one.
He taught her "Tumblin' Dice" and the rest is history.
Is it possible for writers today not to virtue signal and view all recorded history prior to last two seconds as morally pejorative?
No is thy answer
It’s not
That’s one of the problems cover bands have.
Not among my favorites of theirs.
Taylor Swift would whine about the ‘misogyny’ of such a song and refuse to cover it. Music and musicians suck these days.
Yeah, there were no lyric sheets in “Exile”, and that would have been a difficult track to guess all the lyrics on.
Fun fact: Otis Redding and the Stax band did a lot of covers, but they didn’t have lyric sheets for most of the songs. They would just go downstairs to the record store and stand around a record player listening to the original and trying to write down the lyrics as best they could. This led to some pretty funny misheard lyrics in their covers, including their version of “Satisfaction”, where “I can’t get no girly action” becomes “I can’t get no good reaction”, etc.
Her cover was pretty good.
“Some girls” do that to you!/sac😆😆

“Tumbling Dice “ is a great song.
The writer of this screed is obviously a WOKE nerd.
