I wonder if Mick & Keith are registered at Crate & Barrel? I remember being surprised when I saw the toilet cover for the first time, many years after the album came out. The American version is just too safe. I'd love to know what the Beatles were thinking when they released "Yesterday and Today" with the butchered dolls cover... Greatgreat song, one of the Stones' best. Tight-pants strutting.. |

| Just Raw music. Energy - Cutting Wonderful |
| Boy, do I miss Brian Jones!!! The stories about Brian are the highlight of Keith's book!!! |
| Their best song |
| The Stones when they were punk! |
| Great song. So has anyone read Keith's autobiography? I did. Just wondering what other folks thought of the book. |
| Yes !!!!! |

| Never before has this Stones song held more meaning and relevance. I love it. |

| I actually kind of enjoyed this song the first 11,345 times I heard it. But lately, oh, say the last 14,328 times I've heard it, I feel it's getting old. |
