'take the mick' means to 'mock someone' or 'have a laugh at someone's expense'
'Thick' here meaning 'stupid'
Yes, but he is also referring to himself.

Dave Stewart,Matt Clifford,Dave Grohl.For the last quarter of a century,Mick has been collaborating more with other mut than Keith in writing music.What’s left has been the live shows.It’s still great seeing the band live but they have been basically ban an oldies act for a quarter of a century
The current Rolling Stones as a tribute act (band) to the older versions of the Rolling Stones

Fair and honest review, and while he generally seems to sort of like it ("I don't love it though"), he goes on to say:
"I think the song would have had a bit more swagger to it had Keith Ronnie, and Charlie played on it".
"Dave is certainly up to the task of backing this rock legend, but it's still a fairly by the numbers performance.
That's also how I might describe the lyrics actually. Very by the numbers. It feels like Mick wrote a first draft of the song, and called it a day". -
Hard to disagree with either of those points he makes. I still think it's better than Getta Grip/England Lost, but pales in comparison to Ghost Town.
The sooner the Stones can get back together in the studio and finish/release a tune, the better, but something tells me Keith might be lining something up on his own first.

Sorry, but this is weak.
"Living in a ghost town" is great, great, great.
We need more Stones, not this shit.

Is this even a single? I can't 'buy' it anywhere

Easy Sleazy .... is just what this song is....a good formulaic rock song, not a classic but few are.
Age is not kind....compare these lyrics with, say, 19th Nervous Breakdown and the creativity is miles apart.

Bullshit review, as usual from people who tend to over-analyze music all too much (of course it could have been better with a Mick Taylor guitar or extended Brian Jones sitar solo!).

A perfect line for all of us. Hopefully soon.

Wow, so many negative Nancies around here, you'd think that the singer of your favorite band releasing a surprise song that rocks your socks off with a guy that's got rock cred and that gets kudos from the press and most everyone out there could only be received warmly and positively, but no ! Just prefer to feel miserable, eh ?
In other (?) news, here's a reminder that Mick will be holding a (virtual ?) press conference tomorrow at 11AM "from" the Velodrome in Marseille for Exhibitionnism, let's hope a journo asks him about the song !
