Sort of a breakup song between songwriter Keith Richards and his then-muse Anita Pallenberg, who had been Brian jones's girlfriend and then became an item with Mick jagger.

Wachtel was in Keith Richard;s band, X pensive winos. They were playing at the Apollo with him on Gimme Shelter.

Some real dissonance: New Model Army feat. Tom Jones. Yes, really. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWK1F1b5uRg

Sisters of Mercy slayed this in the 80s.

[Steve]

Fergie crushed it.
