I have heard some commentators say that most if not all Rolling Stones music can be reduced to being all about sex and sex acts.
I say there is so much more there and they are much deeper than that. There are numerous Rock bands (good ones too) that might focus mostly on sex, drinking, and drugs but the Stones are not one of these.
A common theme I hear a lot in Stones music is what I call "the outcast". Songs about people who don't fit in, don't succeed in terms of societal expectations, etc etc.
Consider the lyrics of Jigsaw Puzzle about the Bishop's daughter who has been 'an outcast all her life'
Monkey Man offers similar feelings about a flea bit peanut money whose friend are all junkies.
And while Exile's songs deal with sex and romance to a great degree, the albums cover is literally replete with freak show participants.
What do you guys think of my ideas here? And do you see more examples if this recurring theme in the Stones?
