COMMENTS:
One
of
the
more
entertaining
showbiz
news
stories
of
1996
was
the
tale
of
Mick
Jagger's
marital
woes.
Aging
former
model
Jerry
Hall,
Mick's
wife
and
lover
for
some
years
was
leaving
him.
Seems
that
Mick
was
doing
other,
younger
women.
NO!
Say
it
ain't
so
Mick!
Apparently
wifey
never
got
around
to
listening
to
her
husband's
old
records.
Particularly
not
this
one.
Surely
the
Stones
were
among
the
top
couple
or
three
groove
merchants
in
the
history
of
recorded
popular
music.
The
precision
and
subtle
varieties
of
combinations
of
r&b
and
American
country
music
rhythms
rank
them
the
equal
of
any
band
that
ever
took
a
stage.
Surely
this
lesser
known
song,
a
mere
album
track
behind
"Sympathy
for
the
Devil"
and
"Street
Fighting
Man",
is
the
final
proof
of
their
god-like
powers
of
seduction,
if
such
was
still
necessary.
Surely
this
back
alley
prowl
is
the
sleaziest
sex
groove
ever
cut
by
the
Stones,
which
is
to
say
by
anybody
at
all.
Listen
to
the
stalking
groove
at
the
very
beginning,
the
lean
bass
notes
and
the
few
sparse
guitar
chords
expressing
the
lust
in
the
hunter's
breath
before
Charlie
pounces.
The
little
triplets
in
the
rhythm
and
bass
guitars
as
they
walk
through
the
basic
blues
changes
really
stands
out
with
repeated
listenings.
This
is
a
damned
tuneful
little
song
-
which
is
where
this
number
really
separates
from
the
blues
rock
pack.
The
vocal
melody
along
with
the
words
really
makes
the
meaning,
the
licentious
and
rebellious
effect
to
"It's
no...
hang-ing
matter,
it's
no
ca-pi-tol
criiiiiime!"
To
me,
the
most
interesting
thing
about
the
lyrics
is
the
extensive
amount
of
consideration
Mick
gives
to
talking
to
the
little
runaway
he
is
seducing
about
her
mother.
"I
bet
your
Mama
never
saw
you
scratch
like
that."
He
is
really
intent
on
getting
the
maximum
mileage
out
of
thinking
about
stealing
an
innocent
girl
away
from
her
mother.
"I
know
that
you're
just
15
years
old,
but
I
don't
want
your
ID."
In
my
home
state,
that's
considered
child
molesting
right
there.
In
live
versions,
she
gets
down
as
young
as
13.
Shocking!
