Song 231 (The Rolling Stones--"Street Fighting Man")

I had noticed that the 'Stones had not yet been represented on my blog. I have been thinking about picking this song for a while now and I guess that today I will.
This is one of the Rolling Stones' protest songs and it has a definite violent edge to it. It is very much a product of the turmoil of the late '60s, although the message is still prevalent today. Mostly what I like about this song the rhythm section of the song; both the drums and bass are the main driving force. Mick Jagger's vocal along with the guitar and sitar round out the song quite well.
