La and Che: The Stones wrote this song in 1972 after a 14 year old unarmed African American kid was walking with his father to the NYC auto-body shop where his dad worked at 5am so he could watch him work. Two plainclothes cops jumped out of a car and allegedly did NOT ID themselves. The boy and his dad thought they were being mugged and ran away and one of the cops fatally shot the 14-year old in the back. The Dad ran to a MARKED police car and had them drive over to the crime scene thinking that he and his son were mugging victims and the regular cops and the dad allegedly saw the 2 plain-clothes cops kicking the dead teen's body. They were tried criminally BUT acquitted by a majority white jury when the cops said they were investigating an armed robbery (involving 2 30+ year olds)- the first time NYC police were criminally charged for a BLM style event- but the shooter was kicked off the force for this act and prior events with other people and the family WON at civil trial for unlawful death of their son. It came out in the civil trail that the cop who did the shooting had shot another Black man in the back.....

Trump's cops. Keith Schiller. His racist gang within NYPD. Same scumbag who accused Central Park 5 of rape and murder, acquitted by DNA evidence that linked it to a white serial rapist murderer. Anyone of color nursing Trump's racist moobs because he conned criminals like Don King and a few others to take the money to pretend Stop & Frisk policies Fred & Donald Trump implemented with Mafia fixer Roy Cohn, if you weren't awake for Central Park 5, well in 1970's, Fred and Donald's housing discrimination was in peak operation. Paying dirty cops to clear out people of color near their condos and towers they contended lowered their real estate values just walking around nearby. Keith Richards knows all about racist shitbag Trumpedo.

There's also a definite ode to the funky soul of artists like Isaac Hayes and Curtis Mayfield, not just in sound but overt social consciousness. Moreover, it was the height of blaxploitation, which probably had as much influence on this track as what was really happening on the streets. “Fingerprint File” on the next album ups the ante.

Yes, the Jamaican album, as I often refer to it. It's less focused than its four predecessors, but the high points are peak-era Stones, and it coincides with the band’s phenomenal European Tour of 1973, where they played with a matchless synergy and tightness compared to ensuing tours. I like the album, even if its hazy production bogs down some of the tracks, and it marks a shift from long-time producer Jimmy Miller, in addition to more ballad territory. All in all, a very good record that teeters on greatness.

The Stones, for all their controversy, were perhaps one of the more socially conscious bands of the time. They also wrote “Sweet Black Angel,” a seraphic little ditty for black nationalist Angela Davis, and “Fingerprint File,” a rugged fusion-funk tune that sounds like it belongs on a blaxploitation soundtrack, about encroaching government surveillance. You will definitely want to check both of those tunes out, but it might be time to begin album reactions for The Stones.
