TrackTalk
(I)n a way, it's a matter of going back and emphasizing certain things... The Stones really laying it on thick. Yet it's treated in a different way. You can put out Tie You Up, which is kind of funny 'cause of all that shit that went down - some mouthy feminists... It's just a point of view. We only want to highlight it. By highlighting it, we hope that we're gonna make people aware of it. But then you get the very people you're trying to help and they're the first ones who start screaming. Because they take it on that literal level, Oh, "Tie You Up", the Stones just want to enslave you. Most of those chicks probably never had (S&M) anyway.
Pain of
Love... is really just a playful
song, I think. Just a kind of Lowell Fullsom soul riff with a
little smash
of S&M... Love is painful sometimes, sex too... or you can
make it
painful if you want to. Lots of people are fascinated by it
because everyone
understands the pains of love and parting. And I'm not really an
S&M
freak or anything. If I were I'd say so... and I'd get a lot of
calls (laughs).
