I was really excited to hear Wandering Spirit because of Rick Rubin's involvement, but it was the same ole Mick dreck.
His best non-Stones stuff has been collaborations with others, "Don't Look Back" with Peter Tosh and "State of Shock" with the Jacksons.

The legendary Rolling Stones' guitarist has flown into a rock and roll rage against Mick Jagger over the singer's decision to accept a knighthood, the ultimate nod from the British establishment.
"I don't want to step out onstage with someone wearing a coronet and sporting the old ermine," Richards told British music magazine "Uncut" in an expletive-rich interview.
"I told Mick it's a paltry honor ... It's not what the Stones is about, is it?"
The Stones, still rocking after 40 years, made their names with crunching rock classics including "Satisfaction," "Street Fighting Man" and "Brown Sugar."
A 1967 Stones' album was entitled "Their Satanic Majesties Request."
Despite his near spotless rebel credentials(????), Jagger, 60, is scheduled to become "Sir Mick" at a Buckingham Palace ceremony on December 12.
He will join British musicians Paul McCartney and Elton John who have already been knighted by Queen Elizabeth with a touch of the sword.
Richards' own chances of arising Sir Keith, already thought slim after 59 years of hard living, will have receded even further.

It's fine. I mean, this track woulda fit on Too Much Too Soon just fine and even a weak-ish Dolls album is still the Dolls.
I'm just glad Mick (or Dave for that matter) aren't on the COVIDiot thread.
(I realize the anti-science faction of Foo Fighters doesn't technically include Grohl but he is the fightingest of Foos and he let that shit happen.)

The Rolling Stone interview is actually pretty good.
Why did you decide to write about conspiracy theories?
It just seems to be that even people you know that are relatively sensible about a lot of things have one thing that they just don’t kind of get. I have several friends and relations and they go off on these things that just doesn’t… They’re just irrational. Of course, there’s no point in speaking to people about it. They don’t get it. They got what they believe in and they believe in that. And it doesn’t matter what you say, they’re gonna believe in it. And rational thought doesn’t work.
Even a country like France that prided themselves in the 18th Century on rationality is the most anti-vaccine country in Western democracy. It’s not as if [vaccines] are a new thing. When I was a child, which was a really long time ago, people would die from polio. They would just not be there the next day. And that’s been eradicated through vaccines. These poor children were either dead or crippled, and I had lots of friends like that. Would you rather have a vaccine if you had a child or would you rather their legs not work? You can’t argue with these people. So that’s how I got to the conspiracy theories; through the anti-vaxxers. Even I didn’t mention it in that verse; I probably should’ve though [since] I just went off on it. [Laughs]

If we poll the lyrics, I'm voting for "see my poncy books/ teach myself to cook."
Even though the song is in many ways aggressively stupid, there's something kind of sweet about it too, imo; it feels like the same friendly version of Mick that we saw in that "You Can't Always Get What You Want" video at the very beginning of lockdown.

Curiosity got the best of me (and also because I had been listening to a lot of Jeff Beck lately). I can't say I'll play those first two albums ever again, but they both had one cut apiece that I'm sticking on a reference disc for '80s Stones music: the title track of She's The Boss and "Party Doll." The former fits in pretty well between the dance-oriented keepers from Undercover and "Harlem Shuffle" - suggests a logical path in terms of where Jagger wants to go musically. "Party Doll" sounds pretty good coming between the angrier Dirty Work cuts and Keith's own "Take It So Hard," where you hear something like a dialogue between Mick and Keith after the band falls apart.
And Wandering Spirit is actually commendable, mostly for the quieter cuts - nothing earthshaking, but removed from whatever marketing hype that must've surrounded it back then, it's surprisingly a decent album, at least to me. He does a really good version of "Handsome Molly," a great folk song I was very familiar with thanks to Dylan. (see the 1962 Gaslight tape that's a favorite among collectors - Starbucks put out most of it on a CD in 2005)
