Except I WAS 165 lbs and had all my hair when they were popular. I guess I’m in an “Exile on Main Street” mood.
Well, maybe there IS a little message for Ken Buck in this one. Tell me if you hear it.
Never mind, I’ll do it:
Back when Rock ‘n Roll was just over the edge of naughty, not out-n-out sleazy….
No high heels for Buck. C’mon down sweet Jane, got to scrape that shit right off your high heels!
A remastered song that doesn’t sound as good as the original, but I’m in a “Some Girls” mood (I had this ready to go before I logged on and saw Ralphie’s Stones choices above):

A song that sounds better remastered. Minimalist electronica that’s fairly prescient for 1981:
“Beast of Burden” off that album. Since you mentioned remastered, I have a question. I’ve been wanting to buy the re-released “Exile” but the reviews say that it’s mixed with a lot of compression and pretty much sounds like crap. Is all the remastered Stones stuff like that? The cut you posted sounded heavily compressed too.
And not sure if all the Stones stuff sounds compressed like that. But that one sure sounds like it. (I think the compression helps the Kraftwerk song, on the other hand.)
Maybe you can request “Exile” through your local library or via Interlibrary loan and listen to it, and then decide if you want to buy it yourself.
Thanks
This one could probably also go out to Ken Buck …
Oh yeah, dead.
Apropos too of the 112th Circus.
(Double score!)
Never can get that scene out of my head when I hear this song.
wants more cowbell, we should probably give him MORE COWBELL/b>!”
but just recently I head that the sax in Baker Street was originally actually meant to be a lead guitar, and during the orig recording the guitar player didn’t show up, so a guy in the studio said he had a sax and could play it on sax.
Heard that recently, but I didn’t try to verify it. If so that is some rather incredible cicrumstance. Best sax riff ever IMHO.
RIP Gerry Rafferty too. His last few years were very alcohol fueled and completely sad from what I read.
It’s well documented…his alcoholism…His Dad, too…..Irish/Scottish and violent.
about “Baker Street.” Of course, Wiki varies widely in veracity, but it’s footnoted. Of course the source in the footnote might just be a wive’s tale too…

so I had to look up who sang it. If you’re craving a soda after this than you can guess what commercial made it famous.

big fan of musical actz fronted by Asian male singers.
Though I prefer C&W.
never heard of these guys before.
