| A moonlight mile is a night time cocaine session. The song's working title was 'The Japanese Thing' (which was also a considered title for the album Sticky Fingers which it appears on). Keith Richards doesn't appear on the track due to his liver mangling consumption of cocaine, heroin and alcohol, so Mick Jagger played rhythm guitar on the track. It is widely believed that Mick Taylor had a hand in writing it but was never credited with doing so. | |

| this song reminds of of something near Chinese or Japanese for some very strange reason, but it's a cool tune | |

| I first heard this song in the movie of the same name and it was played in my most favourite movie love scene even though there's like no love. The movie's about this guy who deals with having his fiancee dead and being the perfect guy in mourning that he's meant to be and then he meets this girl and falls in love again. In the scene with this song, The guy (played by jake Gyllenhaal), gets dragged to this bar with his dead fiancee's friend and he goes to change the song playing there to 'moonlight mile' and then everyone in the bar stares at him and he doesn't know why until out comes this waitress girl who he recognises as a girl who works in the post office and she starts shouting and stops mid-sentence when she sees him and pulls him into a slow dance and he says,"what did i do?" She continues to dance with him and simply replys,"you played my song." The scene's so beautiful coz it's more about actions than words. | |

| I'm hiding sister and I'm dreaming The song is about being on the road and masterbating while thinking about your girl back home, rather than dragging a skanky ho back to one's hotel room. Seriously romantic and OMFG, Mick's "sound effects" are priceless! I sure do love the Stones. I'm riding down your moonlight mile I'm hiding sister and I'm dreaming I'm riding down your moonlight mile There I go now coming home now baby Yeah, there I go now coming home now baby | |

| Altamont was a huge free concert put on by the Stones in December, 1969. At the suggestion of Jerry Garcia the Stones hired Hells Angels to provide security. All they did though was bash people with pool cues (including Jefferson Airplane member Marty Balin)and then they ended up murdering a young black teenager named Meredith Hunter in cold blood. Jerry Garcia was a jackass. He and others blamed the Stones for the tragedy. | |
