Album covers that make you lose your lunch?

I'd never seen that one before. Looks like an outtake from Guy Peelleart's "Rock Dremas," but I don't specifically recall it.

Tepid Rehashes by a Group or Solo Act of Their Earlier, Better Songs?

Lester, IIRC, didn't much care for "Exile," either. And he had some valid points...

All I'm gonna say is I think it was Lester Bangs who said of this song that "it's about exactly what you're hoping it's not really about."

Talk about on the nose!

I remember the Stones did videos of several "Goat's Head Soup" songs, including this and "Angie" (natch), and I think "Silver Train." Saw them, IIRC, on the then-syndicated "Rock Concert" show, but I can't remember if Don Kirshner was involved with it at that point.

steve simels said...

Angie was definitely with Kirshner.

dave™© said...

OK, I looked it up and I'm embarrassed to say the Stones appeared on the PREMIERE EPISODE of Don Kirshner's Rock Concert.

You'd think I'd remember that...

Songs that people I respect like but I found tiresome and pretentious when it was released and feel the same way now?

Songs whose titles include gerunds and initials? :)

Songs that refer to Satan in the title? I love this song and the album.
