Great song, actually. Like Sundown and Every Breath You Take, true poetic expressions of male anger. I’m interested in the male point of view when it comes to women - the good and the bad.

She committed suicide because she was in huge debt. You might be surprised how being in debt can cause suicidal feelings. Poor lady but Under My Thumb had nothing to do with it.

Many on this thread are trying to fit the past into the future. Of course what he wrote in the 60s has nothing to do with the suicide — seriously?

I’m just hoping he has a dawning awareness of how destructive the hedonist lifestyle can be for some people, and how the whole 60s schtick is increasingly bankrupt, and not necessarily a good thing to be promoting to newer, younger audiences faced with an entirely different, greatly more dangerous and fragile world than the one he grew up in and the moral order against which which he rebelled. He grew up in an intact family, and apparently craves his children’s attention; I read that they actually used Biblical passages at the funeral. Under that bravado there is a heart.

I like both of those songs, but never thought of them as expressions of male anger.

(Did you know the women Sundown was written about was the same women who injected the fatal drugs into John Belushi?)

You’re not a bad girl...hear hear

This thread though is tailor made for Freeper customary male and wealth and culture pop bashing

I bump your sentiments

Precious few here really know Stones music

Mick and Keith have far far tougher on gals songs than Thumb

” I hear the click clack of your feet on the stairs........”

“Bet your momma don’t know you scratch like that....( his back)...bet your momma don’t know you can scream like that.”

Stray Cat Blues....about a 15 year old groupie....on beggars banquet and ya yas

Johnny Winter did a decent job with it too as did Jimi on a bootleg I think

And many others

Any woman didn’t know what she was getting with Mick was daft.....she could have just left him....not axed herself so some Freeper chicks and hate the rich types here can blame him cause she hanged herself....from a door knob....how does one do that at six three?

Again
