You gotta skip "Brown Sugar". It is disturbing and racist and it should die. The Rolling Stones have given us so much though, that I will overlook it.
If you wanna debate "Brown Sugar", may I recommend Reddit.
The second song, however, is my second favorite song of all time.
"Sway" is a song I dreamed about. It must have been like 2000 and I was going through my divorce, and living in Marin, and I dreamed that I was walking by the legendary Winterland - long gone by the time of my dream - and it was the afternoon. There was a side door open and I could hear the sound check going on, and I opened the door and The Rolling Stones were performing this song in the sunlight, the afternoon and even in that dream, I knew I was dreaming, but somehow, I knew it was some kind of sign that I was gonna be okay.
That's enough.
It is a great album regardless. And "Brown Sugar" is great, despite the racist shit.
