I always felt like either she was listening to Exile when she was writing some of those songs. as there are some very slight references to Exile on Main Street, OR someone around her at the time suggested the "dirty" production reminded them of Exile, and she went with that like "yeah, Exile in Guyville!" But then went too far in pressing the the assertion that it is a song-by-song response. Cuz clearly it's nothing close to that.
She was asked about this in 2008-09, and she's adamant that it is, in fact a song-by-song rsponse. But I've heard her provide no details on it. And I've never heard her -- ever -- speak passionately about those Stones, or songs on Exile that inspired her. So...it remains to be seen what, if anything, she and Will i am and Benico del Toro will add to this documentary

Unfortunately she has never matched the intensity of that record since, and her search for a big "hit" has led her to make some unfortunate musical choices (hmm, who does THAT sound like?).
