Regarding the line about "black girls," when Mick Jagger was on Saturday Night Live they did a sketch in which Garrett Morris asked "where are these girls? Do you have any phone numbers?"
Respectable, when the whip comes down! All the songs are just too good. Stones are just the best band of all time. I can’t help myself but dance when any of there songs come on.
I LOVE that you don't know who Jesse Jackson is. He only shows up when he can play the race card. Along with All Sharpton. One race, the human race! You are beautiful girl, keep grooving to the Stones. They were heavily influenced by Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, and Robert Johnson.
The Rolling Stones once you listen to them you get infected, because they're music is so infectious their sound will stay with you for the rest of your life, it's a sound you can never not hear, once you've heard it, you're indoctrinated. They are, soundscape's musical magic sauce, very addictive too. Loved the Rolling Stones from day one. Under My Thumb, Faraway Eyes, She's So Cold. Bitch, Brown Sugar. No women are going to mess around with their heads, yet they're so family and really under the thumbs of their own wives, they make grown men cry.
The Rolling Stones have a few songs about Black Women... most notably "Brown Sugar" also "Sweet Black Angel"... His daughter Karis is biracial, her mom is African-American Actress/Model Marsha Hunt
@@walkingwounded3824 I really like "Before They Make Me Run just because it's a Keith song lol but I think a lot of my favorites are from the "Get your Ya Yas Out" album like "Live With Me " and " Country Honk " but they have so many greats,don't know what it is but have always loved "Memory Motel " from "Black and Blue " and was so pleasantly surprised when I saw them in concert and Mick sat down at the piano and played it.
@@davidayer2168 lmao when I was playing high school basketball,there was a cheerleader for one of our cross town rivals,that these kinda blue grey eyes and that's what we called her,"the girl with the far away eyes" lol
The Rolling Stones are the real shit. 60 years of whip ass music that never pulled a punch. These boys rocked the world's ass and don't know when to quit. No one is even close. Their shit is timeless, powerful, sexual and just real. These boys changed my life and gave me confidence. I love the magnificent Rolling Stones.
At the time Jagger said the song was a joke, basically a send-up of prejudicial attitudes about different ethnicities. It’s also a play on the Beach Boys “California Girls”.
Yeah......you hit it on the head initially......while there's a lot of truth .....there's also a lot of sarcasm......and just plain lyrical fun with cliches......American girls wanting everything in the world......Chinese girls....silky sleeves.....etc.You can't take it all too seriously.One often has to take a lot of Stones stuff with a grain of salt......much of their work is serious......much is just based on having fun in rock and roll."Satisfaction" was done originally just for kicks and not intended or expected to even be released......they were just goofin around in studio.They produced a host of epic classics.....and a host of rock and roll fun.......capturing era's of moods and views...not necessarily their own personally.Sometimes they were artists musically and lyrically extraordinaire......at other times flippantly fun and goofy.After all.....It's Only Rock and Roll.......BUT I LIKE IT!
If I had to sit and listen to a Stones album all the way through, this would be it, great album. You owe it to yourself to listen to “The Girl With Faraway Eyes”.
They have so many albums that are great all the way through it's unbelievable. Beggars' Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street, Goats Head Soup ...etc.
I was 13 years old back in 1978 when this album came out. This is pretty much a masterpiece by them. Almost every song on that album is a classic. Definitely got to react to Far Away Eyes, off This Album. It's sort of their stab at country music and it works so darn well. There's a performance video of them doing that song. And it's really worth watching if you're going to react to that song. Also still waiting for a lot more Band Maid reactions !
Mick Jagger bitter autobiographical album hehee specially about her divorce from former wife Bianca Jagger . and the black actress Marsha Hunt who sue him for paternity ……. she won .it was Jagger daughter ,,,now he has a great relationship with her Karis Jagger
They buried the vocals as a self censor. When this was put out, a bunch of their songs couldn't get air play ( Star Star ) etc. They lived what they were singing....from what I saw...I'm a RS fan.
Bill Wampler yeah man those blues licks Keith was playing were so catchy. I happen to play guitar and I think I know like 50+ stones songs on guitar from start to finish (Ronnie and Keith parts) been to 4 shows (would have been 5 but corona virus) and I’m 16 :) definitely a fan of the stones.
The Roling stones made there money by causing an uproar wherever they went. Any publicity is good publicity. When Jessi Jackson called for a boycott album sales went up. In Rock and Roll ay that time
Some Girls give me children I never asked them for is about Marsha Hunt and their Daughter "Karis Hunt Jagger" and I will make you the World's Biggest Star by Half is about "Bianca Jagger" because she took Mick's last name Jagger and still uses it today.
Always amazed how the homour is missed in this song,maybe it's lost in translation? It's clearly a play on stereotypes and reversing of attitudes. As well as stereotypes of male chauvinism. Side note no one seems to have problem with "going to make you scream like a white girl" I guess it's how the intention is processed by listner6. Great video by the way.
Well I guess you need to review Brown Sugar by the Rolling Stones so you can get past all the people who excuse their racist lyrics with all kinds of explanations.
Released in 78 the year I graduated from HS. I'm a bit bias but this is a killer album. Incredible time for the Stones as well. The reason the album cover has blank faces in spots is because when they released it originally they had some famous people's faces on it but they forgot to ask permission. A few of them weren't to happy and made them take them off.
If you want another song that shows their lack of morals, listen to Stray Cat Blues. (and when they make the statement about knowing "you're just 15 years old" other versions said 13.
Garrett Morris, one of the original Saturday Night Live players, went on the show and replied to Mick Jagger's line about Black girls. He said, "Where ARE these women, Mick? Do you have any phone numbers?"
I hollered at your reaction to the "black girls..." line...lol...but you hit the nail on the head about what the song is basically about...and like you said, music is art and art is music...it's all subjective...next Stones masterpiece you should try is "Bitch", that's an all out raw and dirty rocker! 👌😎
This song was definitely tongue in cheek. Love your reaction because I’m sure that was mine the first time I heard it. But the stones... definitely just a fun groupie song. Check out stray cat strut 😉
The Rolling Stones started off as a blues band in 1962. Their is only two original members left, thier drummer passed away recently. RIP Charlie Watts.
India, you are entitled to your own thoughts. feelings and opinions, however, this song is not about groupies, it is about women. Many in your comments said your reaction was a good one, it was kind of lazy . It was like you were trying to ride the fence and not offend some of your viewers. I am all for tongue-in-cheek lyrics but, this song is not it. He was dropping words for his daughter's mother, Marsha Hunt (look up the backstory) in the line "Some girls girls give me children I did not ask for" and the degrading line about Black women doesn't surprise me as much as I like Mick Jagger/Rolling Stones they seem to have very degrading views of Black women. I mean "Brown Sugar" offensive He said something mostly good about every race of women except Black women. Black men do the same in many rap/song lyrics. "Black women are the most disrespected (and least protected) people on the planet" - Malcolm X. Everyone dumps on Black women. They are the more marginalized of a margnalized group. They are the whipping horse of the world. Anyone can get away in saying and doing anything to Black women It really surprised me how you glossed over and was was accepting/normalizing of those lyrics. You not knowing who Jessie Jackson is says a lot. I know you are young but.... As for those viewers of yours who said he plays the race card that is an erroneous statement. Anytime, Black people stand up for their rights nowadays it is labeled "playing the race card". It's like some people would like to see things in the U.S. go back to how it was in the Jim Crow era. "Those that fail to learn from history/past, are doomed to repeat it."
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote this song about the women in their lives, mostly groupies. Richards said they called the song "Some Girls" because they could never remember their names.
Jessie Jackson ran for president around late 80s or early 90s. Civil rights and race relations was big on his platform. I think a young Jessie Jackson may have known Martin Luther King?
Just the reaction I expected!. FUN!... it kind of left you breathless.... only the stones can get away with this tongue in cheek masterpiece. Great channel!
Not groupies they are talking about wives. I am a white guy in his 50s, no Mick Jagger and dated girls of almost every race. Black ladies are amazing in so many ways. I know my life story I rather be with someone that has different experiences in life.
I wished Mick hadn't said the line Black Girls just wanna , Maybe he was quoting Richard Pryor when he said something similar that black women want you to stay in the for days.?
