Cover art for Memo From Turner lyrics by Rolling Stones, The

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.
