...Princess Michiko. The prince, a freshman, has chosen to follow in his father's footsteps and attend a public university. And like both his parents, with whom he plays in a trio at the palace (his father is an accomplished cellist and his mother plays the piano and harp), Hiro is devoted to music. When he joined the Gakushuin orchestra, he put aside the violin he had played since kindergarten and switched to the viola. By performing with a lower register instrument, says the prince, he can better hear his fellow musicians...
...thought to myself, why should I be so ruthless on the Dartmouth people? Why should I call them farmers just because the zip code of Hanover, N.H. is FIEIO? Why should I criticize their high school addiction to beer? Why should I harp on their school's incredible inferiority complex towards Harvard, Yale, New York, the Bronx, and Staten Island too? Why should I snicker about the school's female population, which, not counting the women who work in the dining hall, has yet to reach three figures?

...modern plumbing. They hate cars, airplanes, consumer markets and anything else that is a product of modern society. Second, MOVE is not proto-typically radical. They hate capitalism, but they also hate socialist governments that also believe in the worth of science and industry. They only incidentally harp about class conflict and proletarian oppression.

"Miss You" does indeed have a discoid beat, and Jagger does indeed sing like an Ohio Player (and some guy named Sugar Blue plays as classy a harp as you've ever heard), but "Miss You" is not much like the rest of the album at all. This is not to downgrade "Miss You" beyond reason. It is technically an excellent song led by Bill Wyman's trendy bass work and Charlie Watt's as ever tight drumming...
...centerpiece of side one is, of course, the title track 'Some Girls.' Sugar Blue's magnificent harp gives way to Jagger's ironic and at times obscene catalogue of women. His stance is that of a complete misogynist defending his case. In an interview with Jonathan Cott in Rolling Stone, Jagger insisted that "Some Girls" is a joke and not a statement of anti-feminism. It's hard to read anything else but anti-feminism into a line like, "some girls take the shirt off my back and leave me with a lethal dose," but it's also hard...
