album.
Mickey CoachellaHOST
You could take Hey Jude at the end.
Paul HowarthHOST
No. It's from a decade before.
Tony HarrisHOST
although their choice of producer or engineer in Andy Johns, the brother of Glyn Johns, was because he had produced Goat's Head Soup, which had the Stones album in 73, and they really liked the sort of cleanness of the guitar sound, because it was very clear that he didn't really want... lots of effects he you know he wanted the playing to be really quite quite pure and and this is sort of the difference between why this isn't punk because this isn't the ramones it isn't you know hey ho let's go and let's sort of just yeah out the court as quickly as you can it's very intricate it's almost like prog it's so it's you know it's i i can feel some of roxy music influence in all of this
Paul HowarthHOST
you know Again, I wrote down definitely not punk.
Paul HowarthHOST
In fact, it's more post-punk and it's prog.
Michael MurrayHOST
But inside the car, heel marks on the roof.
Michael MurrayHOST
bad music on the radio um seats all in recline but yet in the last line of that song or second to last line the kids haven't been to school in weeks which means they're still part of a family that is a family unit and they've got kids and all this aftermath is going on so and then just jumping to goodbye because i did mention the stones i had been listening to black and blue a lot and in recent times and I've had like the song Memory Motel on redial and I feel like I'm getting an echo of that on the song Goodbye or maybe off or maybe Fool to Cry which is on the same record there's a line that says I start to feel so guilty but goddammit I swear to you I tried which echoes Angie to me though that is on Goat's Head Soup which is I think the album before Black and Blue and so I think maybe that's again where I was getting a little bit away from Faces and those two songs and going
Max GillHOST
more Stones like but I totally hear the Faces absolutely yeah Goodbye is Patterson's Goodbye to Earl Hicks yeah who was replaced as bassist by Shana Tucker.
Max GillHOST
There was a real lament and a genuine hurt in this song.

In 1973, the BBC announced a broadcast band on the song Star Star from the Rolling Stones due to its highly explicit lyrics.

The track from the Goat's Head Soup album was originally titled something that I can't say here until executives forced a change on it.
speaker_0HOST
But it starts with star and then F-er.
speaker_0HOST
How's that? There you go.

Guess you better slow, you must
Simon TeslerHOST
To close the show one of the finest ballads ever recorded by the Rolling Stones and definitely the standout track on the otherwise slightly disappointing Goat's Head Soup album.
Simon TeslerHOST
David Bowie's ex-wife Angie Bowie has always claimed the song is about her but Mick Jagger and Keith Richards have strongly denied that.
Simon TeslerHOST
Like so many of the Stones best songs it started with Keith then just finishing rehab for heroin addiction while his girlfriend, Anita Pallenberg, was about to give birth to their second child.
