Ballsy experiment with a great sense of humor. The album was pretty tepid except for ER, She's So Cold, Indian Girl and All About You.

where the boys go is in my top 10 alltime stones. it shouldn't be and it has no good reason to be, but there it is. and if Gazza were here, he'd corroborate my assessment. but, he had a huge falling out with BV and he will not be returning to IORR.

I love both the song and the album. I actually MUCH prefer ER to Some Girls, which IMHO suffers from too little variety and is their most overrated LP. SG is still a great record, but, save for IORR, I like it the least of every LP they released between 1968 and 1981. It's a little monochromatic; the first FOUR songs are all in A, one after the other, which makes it sound a bit samey. That said, getting back to the ER LP, it'd be hard to argue that "Indian Girl" is anything but one of their three weakest, most wholly ludicrous songs they've ever done. If that was dropped and it was simply a 9 song LP, or had "Claudine" stayed on it, it'd be equal, song-for-song, to the other two. As it stands, "Indian Girl" is a flaw on an otherwise really fun, variety-filled album with great funk/dance tracks ("ER," "Dance" ), punky energetic rock ("WTBG," "Summer Romance" ), some reggae ("Send It To Me" ), blues ("Down In The Hole," ) a great Keith ballad ("All About You" ) and some fun Stones-doing-the-Stones rockers in "Let Me Go" and "She's So Cold." I love the album. "Dance" is my favorite, but the title cut is probably my 2nd favorite--it has NOT aged badly in the slightest and is one of my favorite singles of theirs, period. People who hate it don't really "get" Mick's sense of humor I guess--he's having a laugh, doing a send-up of the Bee Gees without a hint of self-seriousness about the entire affair. I'm very happy they're playing it on this tour! I don't really think it sounds that different based on youtube clips; Darryl's being pretty faithful to the original Ronnie bassline and it really drives the energy of the crowds.

For years, I thought ER was the worst Stones song ever. But then, about 2 years ago, I totally changed my mind about it. Now I love it. I think it's great that they've pulled it out for their shows. Sounds great.

I have been given permission to proxy for Gazza in his permanent absence. Gazza is in agreement with me, as indicated above.

Please don't respond with the truth. I quote from the book every Stones fan should own...LIFE (OR SOMETHING) by StonesTod:
This past New Year's Eve, a drunken Bjornulf phoned Gazza and said "Where's my favorite IORR poster?" Gazza put on his Sunday best and burst through the IORR doors and snarled at Bjornulf, "Don't you ever call me your favorite IORR poster, I'm the Rocks Off administrator!" and decked him. Bjornulf flew six feet through the air, landed on a table of strange Scandinavian food, slid across it and nearly plunged to his death in the canal below except StonesTod bravely grabbed Bjornulf by the ankle and saved Gazza from being incarcerated yet again.
For those that are interested, Page 16 has the famous story about Gazza telling StonesTod that running a Stones messageboard isn't all it's cracked up to be. StonesTod quotes Gazza as saying, "First time I walked into the IORR offices was in 1996. The Stones weren't working at the time so there wasn't much traffic on any of the boards. I opened the doors and there was BV wearing overalls, standing on an aluminium ladder painting the goddamn ceiling. Taught me a lesson about how fragile this business can be."
Of course the most controversial part of LIFE (OR SOMETHING) is when StonesTod discusses who has the tinier todger, BV or Gazza. Mind you, StonesTod's hatred of the Irish may influence his remarks, but he claims to have seen both up close so who knows. I like StonesTod a lot, but he really should have gone through a 12 step program before writing that damn book.

There were subsequent legal issues and it was withdrawn. I can post other excerpts later if you like.

And you forgot, after hearing StonesTod was writing a tell all, Gaza held him at gunpoint for two days in a hotel room....

Not a fan, but the song works quite well in a bizarre way
A sadomasochistic song.
First falsetto-part is really nerve-grating ... Then bettering with the sax.
Finally, comes the relief when Jagger switch to his standard singing (1'33" ).
This is what I like in the song- being suddenly (and momentarily) relived of the falsetto.
