Marci's Music Box

LOL never knew they did country songs. Never even seen or heard that one. Thanks Pants.

Sweet and restful dreams SF. Tomorrow is another day. Another chance to be kind. Another chance to be cool. Chow.

@MrPants Thank you! That was priceless! Never heard it before and am AMAZED! I love it!

"In a 1978 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Jagger said: "You know, when you drive through Bakersfield on a Sunday morning or Sunday evening—I did that about six months ago—all the country music radio stations start broadcasting black gospel services live from L.A. And that's what the song refers to".

"But the song's really about driving alone, listening to the radio." On influences, Jagger stated: "I wouldn't say this song was influenced specifically by Gram (Parsons). That idea of country music played slightly tongue-in-cheek—Gram had that in 'Drugstore Truck Drivin' Man', and we have that sardonic quality, too." Asked by the interviewer if the girl in the song was a real one, Jagger replied, "Yeah, she's real, she's a real girl we used to know, we miss her."
