| The Rolling Stones – Backstreet Girl Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Beautiful music...but less than beautiful lyrics, which are deeply troubling. However, I'm not convinced the words are written from Jagger's perspective. A line that leaps out is "Please don't you bother my wife" but Jagger wasn't married then (1967)! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Jagger#Personal_life So it's likely he was just using creative license and portraying/critiquing a certain type of character - a misogynistic rich rotter. |
