They were back!
That's what mattered the most at the time.
It took an enormous amount of time for them to come up with a new album, after going
through (what the press called) World War III. But here they were. The hatchet was buried,
and Mick didn't mind singing about Mick's Demotion.
I remember being impressed by it all. Even my friends, who were not "into" the Stones,
congratulated me with the fine singles that came from Steel Wheels at the time.
This clip gave us an idea of what was going on in the studio:

I still remember hearing the fake JJF intro and then Jagger's debile verses on the radio back in 1989, thinking: can it get any worse than that?
To me, they finally hit rock bottom with this one, going for the most obvious stadium rock clichés to please those beer-bellied babyboomers who do not want to be bothered with any kind of musical challenge

The 'Dirty Work' abomination aside, the first sign of real bad news...the stones trying to sound like a band call the Rolling Stones.
They would hit rock bottom in 2002 with Don't Stop.
BTW, this lyric should never have passed quality control, and is again, a bad omen for the future:
This coming and going is driving me nuts
This to-ing and fro-ing is hurting my guts
So get off the fence now, it's creasing your butt
Life is a party, let's get out and strut, yes

Reminds me of a joke.
A man goes to the Doctor and says "Doctor I've got a steering wheel stuck down my underpants... it's driving me nuts".
