...STAMP OF the old, uncompromising greatness is on the hard, stomping number that breaks the spell of "Miss You" and defines the pace of the album from there on, "When the Whip Comes Down." Jagger shouts from amidst a dense barrage of guitars riffing, and tells the story of a gay man who tries to make it in the City as a garbage collector.

"We figured, what the heck, it wasn...
Much has been made of the fact that Cauthen was preparing for the jockey's craft at the age of twelve. His zeal was tireless: flailing bales of hay to practice his whip technique, huddling with his father over race films to decipher the art of moving a horse up in traffic or setting him down for the stretch run, crouching along the rail at the starting gate to learn how to navigate those first chaotic moments of a race. At 13, he was practicing yoga to develop his concentration?yoga at 13!?because he knew he would need...
