Just try to say Mick Jagger can’t rock it solo. I’m firmly convinced Goddess in the Doorway is a great album, and this is its finest moment. It’s got blitzkrieg guitars if you want noise, and self-aware lyrics. Jagger isn’t bragging, he’s being thankful, which is an endearing stance to take. I’m not crazy about the video. It must’ve looked cool in 2001, but doesn’t anymore. The attempt to seem edgy falls flat, but even that’s kind of endearing, and Jagger looks great. It’s a poor choice of costars, too. Though Lenny Kravitz made some good contributions to the album, we didn’t need to see his stupid face. (I find Lenny Kravitz really annoying.) Despite the nagging sense that the video could’ve been better, it’s still a perfect song, one of the best from Jagger’s solo career. It rocks, what more could you ask for?
