Great!
First impression:
Pure Jagger.
BUT
At the same time it is hard to find stones sound/flavor/scent in it.
This is the first time that it happens to me with a Jagger's song.
Why does it need to have a Stones sound/flavor/scent in it?
Mick's guitaring should be the obvious sound/flavor/scent.
Haha, if not his guitar, just the moment he opens his mouth to sing a song he has written the result is doomed to sound Rolling Stonesy... I think Jagger's 'dilemma' is that no matter if he even tries to escape typical Rolling Stones sound boundaries, and no matter with whom he plays, he can't help to sound nothing but a Rolling Stone and that dominates the outcome (or, as it sometiems happen, is in a conflict with the rest)... like Keith, he breathes and embodies Rolling Stones.
That said, I think it is nice to hear sometimes Mick playing with someone else than Keith and the rest of his gang. Just for a change. I think the Grohl/Jagger colloboration works nicely here - the more traditional hard rock style, without the famous 'roll' element, fits well here. The stonesian and foofighterian worlds - being apart by a couple of generations of rock music - meet rather naturally there - surprisingly well me thinks.
Funny to think of that punk element there - and the different ways these two guys approach it. For Grohl I guess 'punk rock' was something he basically had learned from school books, as an elementary and inspirational material in order to create a new rock genre, grunge. For Mick punk was a genre that kicked his already legendary, old balls, but which forced him - inspirationally - to adapt to its challenge. And here those approaches meet, punk being like a missing link between those two parties...
There is something beautiful there, both musically and historically, me thinks. Thanks Mick, thanks Dave. Well done.

To be perfectly clear, I picked Grohling Stones up by someone else earlier in the thread...much as I wish I could claim ownership!

Meanwhile I don't like the drumming or guitarplaying of Grohl, I like the effort and Jagger's energy. What's the matter with Jagger anyway? I'm only half of his age, and I haven't got half of his energy, for me it's straining just writing this

What a tune! Mick provides the lyrics and great singing at his age given the age of his vocal cords, he sounds like a 22 year old's vocal cords. Grohl provides the extreme kick-ass and 90% of the instrumental talent.
Words from Mick. Music from Grohl. I am glad Grohl exercised vocals restraint, but lots of exuberance, and that Grohl did not sing a lick. Kind of a yin-yang thing. An astute division of labors.
I bet Grohl and the Foos could put out a full album of Stones tunes re-imagined. Kicking off with some Ventilator Blues murky sludge.

I’m listening for a second time with my decent headphones and a large glass of Malbec: it sounds so much better, now! Definite Sex Pistols vibes with the verses. Not bad at all.

Physiologically, Mick is 15 years younger than Keef or Charlie. Therefore it's only normal Mick works with the younger generation.
And (imho) that gives us a hint of post-Stones activities : Keef and Charlie will retire while Mick will keep going with younger people.
of course he is and of course he will – but only to find out that nobody is interested in Mick Jagger solo (just as it was in the 80s, the 90s etc.)

IMO, Jagger's rhythm guitar is essential for making this tune sound good.

More insipid social commentary from Mick. No emotional power. Gimme Crosseyed Heart.
