HAHAHA HEHEHE HOHOHO

The Rolling Stones???!!!

The Beatles were the ones who broke away from writing ''dance music'' and looked inside and wrote from and about their troubled souls about real relationships and religious experiences. The Stones are mere poseurs and misogynists. Wake the hell up!

The Stones are simply about putting on a razzle-dazzle big show in which Mick gets to strut and prance around. The Beatles were not song and dance men, which is why they stopped touring. I would never go see the Stones. They once invited Truman Capote to join them on stage, to which TC refused. He was asked why. His reply: ''I only do things that hold mystery for me.'' Right on, TC. The Stones are pure entertainment, whih is ultimately so hollow.


Anything by the rolling stones is better - conveys more soul and spirit of the times, than anything by the Beatles. These guys belong in a dusty box in a back corner with the monkeys, the box tops, and that donovan goof. That they aren't is a testament to the will and influence of corporate money changers and their ilk. Thin non-relational psychedelic induced dribble. ..sorry if it hurts, time to wake up people. ...somebody had to say it

your argument is rendered invalid by a) suspision that you're trolling and 2) that you don't know the difference between the act of a sportsman controlling a ball and the act of speaking nonsense. Fail.

I heard William Shatner's version of this on the radio last Saturday. After all these years, his interpretation remains ... special.

There's a sort of irony in those last six words being used in reference to this song.

If you're consistently good, does the average drop or is the bar raised? Imo this is not their best song ever.. but there are only a few Beatles songs* that deserve a lower rating than an 8... So here we go: 8/10.

* definitely lower than an 8: Helter Skelter/Obladi-oblada/Yellow Submarine/Get Back a.o.

Unbeleviable!!!

Only 2 options may explain:

1- they are just kidding
2- they are not from this planet...

To me, your comment above is about right, but I'd follow it with maybe a 6/7. Sometimes I really can't help thinking that some songs receive an automatic +4 for being a Beatles song...

This is a song for the ages. The music is simple and direct. The lyrics tell a story of a compelling tragic character. 10.
