(really, rocky, just for the leg-lock thing? that's
kinda amazing since the entire song/vid is so relevant
to what was being discussed in that thread. You know,
the whole gossip thing, and when does gossip become
biography?)

I always wonder if Mick was thinking of a certain horse-breeder when he scripted it with Mr. Temple.

Whatever perspective we look at it from, it's the Stones fan that lost out.

And one might wonder: Was it worth it? To break up The Rolling Stones for six years becuase of this?

When did they not work together for six years? I'm guessing you mean because they didn't tour 1983-1988. They still recorded two studio albums during that period. Heck in the years since, I would be thrilled if they had made two studio albums every six years. We would have had another five Rolling Stones albums by that reckoning.

Okey, but I'm not sure that I will buy the version that says they we're all done in 1983 and Mick h-a-d to break free in order for them to straighten up.
I think it had more to do with the fact that Mick was offered big money to go solo. Maybe Mick thought they (the band) were old and passé and he himself
wanted to catch up with the times in order not to look old? Probably so...
And the aber is...when they came back in 1989 too many years had passed and they had become too old to change anything. They had become The Rolling Stones II. The click-track version...

In hindsight; the lyrics on that song (and on the album) are shallow and self-centred. Are we supposed to feel sorry for the vagabond, millionaire womanizer? Bullocks...
