as the biggest piece of shit that any Stone has ever excreted. The title and opening lyrics are interesting enough, but it then becomes so incredibly embarrassing. This is easily the worst thing that any one of them has ever done. Worse than State of Shock, Streets of Shite, anything on any album full stop. I would rather listen to Back to Zero for the rest of my life than hear this piece of crap ever again. This from the man who wrote Street Fighting Man to attempting social commentary with this classic.

That was an okay song.

I didn't mind it either. The production is pretty badly dated -- as is the whole album -- and the arms race/cold war theme is even more so. But it's a decent "serious-Mick" effort.

what wick said...
it sounded so pompous and serious that it ended up sounded silly.
the music was lame, lyrics pretentious, the singing FUNNY...
no insight, depth - just dumb.

That's it, yeah. Or close enough. They did "Hungry Heart" together, and Bruce released a video of it around '95, I think?

The Pope?

Are you kidding? Bruce would never associate with someone who's critical of Islam!

The Muslims are now going after the Pope! I will no longer listen to Arabic pop tunes!

Yes. They did an awful version in a bar in East Berlin with his band for a single release in '95 (as part of the Greatest Hits release) - although the audio version that was released was just a reissue of the original, I think.
Bruce's "rock" pipes were badly shot around that time, I think. Thankfully they came back. Dont blame him for doing acoustic shows and albums around that time.

LOL..and no doubt that BTB intro that appears as Track 1 on "No Security" will be excised from any future reissues.
