Hey, since Wednesday, I've not been a big believer in the healing power of music anymore, but the above at least made smile.

What a great way to start the day/week!
Brings me back to the halcyon days of Goats Head Soup. Friends in my living room with an Illegal Smile sang in unison to Star Star.
On another note - just watched Steven Colbert's post mortum, humorous Trump sendup.

Whoops, meant John Oliver

Sorry guys, it's not that good.
(the opinionated) Captain Al
Agree with Cap'n Al. Joan Jett is an icon, but her singing is usually flat and behind the beat. On the other hand, the 3-guitar break in Star Star is my favorite instrumental moment in the Stones' canon.
She’s tons of fun. I don’t care if she’s not perfect. And the documentary about her is a gas, gas, gas.
I've come to terms with the Stones' post-Exile output by concluding that I don't like 98 percent of it. But this song remains a firm favorite & I'm tickled to see it covered.
