One of my all time favourites, this one. Based on the 'Stones 'The Last Time'.
Bittersweet indeed, considering the Stones' manager took them to court, resulting in the Stones raking in almost all the royalties, despite Jagger and Richards having contributed nothing to either song - arseholes, eh?
The Stones eventually handed over the publishing rights to Richard Ashcroft in 2019, over 20 years later.
When he accepted his Ivor Novello Lifetime Achievement Award shortly after, he thanked Jagger and Richards for finally acknowledging he was responsible for '..this fucking masterpiece'.
