“The album of Mick was called She’s the Boss, which said it all. I never heard the whole thing through to the end. Who listened? It is like Mein Kampf,” he stated in the work. “Everybody had a copy, but nobody listened to it. As for the carefully worded subsequent titles, Primitive Cool (1987), Goddess in the Doorway (2001), which was irresistible not to rename Dogs*** in the DoorwayI close my case.”

Furthermore, Keith Richards opined how the lack of quality on the disc meant that Mick Jagger had lost control over what constituted good music: “Just from the choice of material, it seemed to me that it had really gone off the rails.”

“It was really sad. He wasn’t prepared to not make an impact. And he was upset. But I can’t imagine why he thought he was going to fly,” continued the musician. “It was here that I felt Mick I had lost touch with reality.”
