Michael Jagger & his blatant disregard of social propriety - Stray Cat Blues
Some search results, on this intriguing bit of rock music trivia:
This is why the lyrics to ‘Stray Cat Blues’ from around the same period really prick up the ears. The track is from the album Beggars Banquet and the song sheet reads: “I can see that you’re fifteen years old / No I don’t want your ID / You look so restless and you’re so far from home / But it’s no hanging matter / It’s no capital crime.”
Those are undeniably thorny lyrics, but by the time that The Rolling Stones’ 1969 tour of the USA came around, they got even thornier as Jagger reduced the age down to 13. “I can see that you’re only 13,” the song would go, “I bet your mama don’t know that you scratch like that / I bet she don’t know that you can bite like that.”
Devon Wilson, who was a groupie of the time and reportedly had relations with Mick Jagger, told David Henderson in the book ‘Scuse Me While I Kiss The Sky: “You know the song, ‘Stary Cat Blues’? [Jagger] told me he wrote it about a certain chick. He said he usually doesn’t write like that, but he had this one particular lady in mind. When he was in California the girl called him and said, ‘Thanks for writing that song about me’. He was shocked because he didn’t think she could have recognised herself. But she did and it completely freaked him.”
Of course, this story is difficult to corroborate; however, what is perhaps most indicative of the time is how little an impact such an obscene and incendiary song had upon release. Even if it was written to test the provocative limits of rock ‘n’ roll, the fact that nobody batted an eyelid and it was merely fobbed off as album filler is indicative of the dark side to the hedonism of the day.
