TrackTalk
Well I wanted to do something that wasn't... The Stones have never done it, at the same time there's been a lot of bootlegs of me doing this song and I wanted to give the band another chance... And also it's a different kind, a slightly different kind of music than what the Stones are used to and what people expect from the Stones. And, after all, I always look upon it as I have two songs in a show. Sometimes I like to do something that will actually provoke Mick to be a little bit more adventurous sometimes. If I can go out there and do a song that nobody knows (laughs), it makes him a little bit more confident to go out and do some other stuff 'cause Mick can be a little more conservative at times... And also I have the band to be able to play that stuff. You know, I've got a great horn section... I'm glad I've been throwing that in.
