I've been listening to it for awhile (one of my favorites) - and I was thinking... Is this the story of the drug bust at Keith's house? "And I hid the speed inside my shoes?" (The speed Mick got busted for) "Drop your reds, drop your greens and blues?" (The acid trip) "Thank you for your wine, California" (that guy who gave them the acid, who's name I don't remember)

I don't think it's about anything topical like that at all. It's about a chick named Virgina - no more, no less. The line about "wine California" is not about anything except California wine, which by the early '70s had become as good as French or Italian wine. |

My take is whatever occurred within those hallowed walls
was pure genius, not owing to any particular situation, rather to a historic streak of creativity. We all can only hope it could someday be replicated.

reminds me of a great story i once read about how keith wrote the lyrics to "casino boogie" - (the sanchez book perhaps??)
apparently, he had some pages of lyrics written down - just random lines and ideas not a completed song
to edit it into shape he then attempted a bit of the w.burroughs "cut - up" approach but rather than sedately clipping away with a pair of scissors he used a more "jackson pollock" style method by stringing the pages up on a fence then blasting them with a shotgun - the words that didn't get blown to smithereens where then used for the tune
sounds like the sort of crazy shit you'd expect anita to come up with

Casino Boogie is friggen great. Jagger dismissed it as nothin special but maybe thats why it's good. anyway, I always look forward to hearin it when i play EXILE.

No good, can't speak, wound up, no sleep
Sky diver insider her, skip rope, stunt flyer
Wounded lover, got no time on hand
One last cycle, thrill freak Uncle Sam
Pause for bus'ness, hope you'll understand
Judge and jury walk out hand in hand
Dietrich movies, close up boogies
kissing cunt in Cannes
Grotesque music, million dollar sad
Got no tactics, got no time on hand
Left shoe shuffle, right shoe muffle
sinking in the sand
Fade out freedom, steaming heat on
Watch that hat in black
Finger twitching, got no time on hand
