  2. Weird is right. I heard a radio interview with Ry Cooder a while back, he said Jagger sent them a tape of him singing "Memo From Turner" with no instrumental backing whatsoever, just his vocal! Ry & the band, which was several members of The Meters (if memory serves) played the music around his vocal. Probably my favorite performances by Jagger and Cooder, I always play air guitar to this one with the volume way up. Thanks Head, you're on a roll, man!
