But did Mick have a choice? The song was started in break-neck speed, and imo he simply had to punk it up.

That's almost a classic as far as train wecks go... Both Keith and Charlie seem to screw up big time the beginning (and even though later somehow sorting it out, don't seem to click very together)... However, it is Jagger who at the very moment when the others sound like giving up, takes the song into his shoulders and carry the band somehow thorough the song... That's the cost of organic band like the Stones.. but hilarous stuff!

What's more bizarre aside from Charlie not finding the straightness of that train wreck She's So Cold was Keith's inability to just move the riffage to match Charlie's place in time.

I like every song of the loveable EMOTIONAL RESCUE and also this one.
"Summer Romance" is of the class of Stones songs that are different. But I wonder, what kind of song is it really? I venture one characterization: Possibly, it is a "reggae ballad". Not simply a ballad, not really reggae, but all the same, "reggae ballad".
Put down the crack pipe. It's a barrel ahead rocker.
Maybe you're thinking of "Send It To Me".
I was, in fact, thinking of "Summer Romance".
There was a reason to my saying "venture one characterization". Besides, I used the words "not simply a ballad, not really reggae". I acknowledge that the song rocks between the verses. A relisten to it reminds me that it also somewhat rocks out of verses. Apart from that, however, during the verses I find something else than a rocker through and through. Something that brought me tentatively to call the song "possibly, ....., all the same, "a reggae ballad"".

...I love Emotional Rescue... especially the drum sound.

At best, a pile of mostly throwaway songs. The only real original sound to me was the song ER. Though they tried to add reggae, pop, punk and blues, it all sounds contrived.

I ask again: What's contrived about Down In The Hole and All About You?

a great song off of emotional rescue. one of my laments is that this track has never been performed live by the glimmers . a missed oppurtunity of some live magic in the setlist .great vocals , great guitars and great drums .truly a masterpiece with the weaving guitars!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so legend has it that Mick was asking Ronnie how the middle-eight of SR goes when Keith came in and punched him. ... What would you say is the middle-eight of the song?
