| The Rolling Stones – Memo From Turner Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| one of the most mysterious songs by the stones .also one of the best slide guitar songs of all time. Some say it isnt a true rolling stone song because richards didnt play on it but it is very characteristic of the style and tone of the stones at that time.there is about 4 versions of this song all unique and good.I cant deny that there is homoerotic undertones in this song . Nasty ones to . It has a violent and agressive nature to it. the Idea of organized crime and corrupt police . Using sex as a form of agression and control is a common theme of the stones(midnight rambler ,brown sugar) but why are men and not woman subjugated in this song. Maybe this is why its not a radio hit when the stones where spitting out hits every other day at this time. | |
