I didn't read all the comments, but everyone is cumulatively right. Sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll! From Rolling Stones interview, in Jagger's own words - RS723: December 14, 1995 http://www.jannswenner.com/Archives/Jagger_Remembers.aspx WENNER: This is one of your biggest hits, a great, classic, radio single, except the subject matter is slavery, interracial sex, eating pussy... JAGGER: [Laughs] And drugs. That’s a double-entendre, just thrown in. WENNER: Brown sugar being heroin? JAGGER: Brown sugar being heroin and – WENNER: And pussy? JAGGER: That makes it... the whole mess thrown in. God knows what I’m on about on that song. It’s such a mishmash. All the nasty subjects in one go. |
