Another interesting music fact is, contrary to popular belief, Satisfaction by The Stones is not about sex.
It's about when they were to record in the US, I think it was at Chess Studios. They saw their
idol Muddy Waters, who had never made any real royalties from his records, employed to paint the
walls. The song is about their disillusion at seeing this.

And sex with Muddy Waters while he peals onions.
I always find that song depressing knowing how amazing and pioneering he was.
