Maybe it´s a great piece of music, but too complicated for me. It sounds so weird, I can hardly bear it. And there are strings on it, i don´t like strings in rock music, strings belong to Frank Sinatra. Just listened to Moonlight Mile and had to put on She Said Yeah to blow this strange song out of my ears.

Moonlight Mile almost ruins this masterful album. If I could have it my way, it would be removed from all further pressings. This very very strange and almost unlistenable song rather belongs to Their Satanic Majesties Request and even there it would be most unpleasing. One of my least-liked Stones-songs ever. How could they close this masterpiece with a song like Moonlight Mile, I will never understand that.

Is "Bridges to Babylon" as good as "Sticky Fingers"?

My interpretation:
Undoubtably their "deepest" album. Where as they drew and wrote the materials from there other great albums (Bleed, Begger's ect...) from the abstract. With subject matter that varied.
Not so on Sticky, the entire album was written from a more personal point of view more so than any of their other albums.With most of it based on getting stoned and sex. But not sex in the "Notch on the bedpost" sense, Sex as a human need with someone you care about. You could argue that Brown Suger is a light hearted boyish number about ogling a beautiful black woman.
As for the drugs, you have the up all night guilt and shame on Sway, The I wish I could have been there to stop you from going to far on Wild Horses. The beginning of the night buzz and trying to connect with like minded drug users on Can't you hear me Knocking. Then you have You got to move which is not a direct drug song but it is a song about death, and we know death comes hand and hand with hardcore drug abuse.
On Bitch we have the the "sloppy drunk". I got the blues is the crash that comes after long nights of drug abuse and hangovers. Sister Morphine another overdose song but this one is in the first person as opposed to wild horses. Dead Flowers is the another beautifully written song about the isolation the drug abuser goes through, spending all his time with other abusers only concerned about getting more drugs, the humor in the song speaks to me of the lost hope and pride of I'd rather have you laugh at me than pity me.
Moonlight Mile is the true masterpiece of the album that ties it all together. It's the thought of transition back to normality......Yeah I'm coming HOME!!! The hope and the spirt of desperate man trying to do his best. He wants to, but can he?
