...then again, all rock/pop stars are poseurs or tools to some extent, anyhow.

the Rolling Stones were a lot better when they were young.  where they got the concept for this song is beyond me, but I love the melody, the simple arrangement and the fact that Mick Jagger's voice actually sounds good.
 . . . . and I've never even been to a renaissance fair

Indeed.  Some people take it far too personally.

I always thought the Stones were awful, after hearing this I am very comfortable with my decision.

Up next - Neil Young, Borrowed Tune???

Guess what? I don't agree. Being as self-centered as you, I declare myself right, therefore you are wrong. How about that? Of course, I'm not that self-centered and I don't really care whether you like the song or not, doesn't affect my enjoyment of it anyway. But I still have a healthy dislike for intolerance. There are times when such an attitude blocks progress. I also hear that it's habit-forming.

Definitely not their best effort....

Love this LP ! All of it.

Yeah, Borrowed Tune has a lot more heart and soul than this number from The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band (TM).

Nice reference, lemmoth. I'll take Neil's tune over this misguided cheese any day.

POSEURS!

really hard to dance to

Back when this album came out, Lady Jane, or just Jane, was slang for pot, grass, weed......

The best song on the LP for me. I used to really like the Rotary Connections version of this song. Haven't heard that one in a long while...

Also 'Lady Jane' was slang for female genitalia - as in one of DH Lawrence's dirty books "John Thomas and Lady Jane", which was an early version of Lady Chatterley's Lover which had been decensored a few years before this album came out

Not the best song from that album but still pretty good.  And, it did sound quite different from most rock at the time.  Plus, it showed a softer side to the Stones.

This song is soooo good for the ears...

wonderful tune.

It's a shame that dulcimer-tuning technology didn't really take off until the 1970s.

Frankly a little goofy.

Not Good.
