Protest Song

comment
Protest Song: "Sweet Black Angel" is one of only about ten in the Stones' entire discography, written in support of civil rights activist Angela Davis, who at the time was in jail for the kidnapping and murder of a California judge (she was acquitted later that year). The song does not mention her by name, but as critic Steve Kurutz writes:

Spiritual Successor: Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville is an answer to this record. Try not to think about it too hard, since some of the song counterparts don't make sense. She did give an interview to Rolling Stone where she elaborated on the parallels. Exile on Mainstream by Matchbox Twenty is another Shout-Out. Chemlab named the leading track from their album East Side Militia "Exile on Mainline". Pussy Galore even covered the entire album in their own style. Phish did the same during a Halloween show in 2009.

N-Word Privileges: Averted in "Sweet Black Angel" - see Black Gal on White Guy Drama above. Because the song was in support of civil rights activist Angela Davis, the Stones escaped controversy over it. (Also, the song's aversion of this trope doubles as an allusion to the original title of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, which has been changed in modern printings for obvious reasons.)

Precision F-Strike: Richards ad-libs "I just can't fuck it" in the outro of the alternate take of "Soul Survivor". The album also contains the lines "Got to scrape that shit right off your shoe" in "Sweet Virginia" and "Let it Loose", "They're gonna hold some shit for me" in "Rip This Joint", "Plug in, flush out, and fire the fuckin' feed" in "Rocks Off", and, of course, the use of Country Matters mentioned above.

Shout-Out
 Exile on Main St. (Music) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: "Casino Boogie" mentions Marlene Dietrich. "Rip This Joint" references Richard Nixon and his wife Pat "Shine a Light" inspired the Rolling Stones Concert Film of the same name, Shine A Light, directed by Martin Scorsese. "Sweet Black Angel", one of the Stones' few overtly political songs, was written in support of civil rights activist Angela Davis, at the time jailed as an accomplice to a kidnapping and murder (she would be acquitted on all counts shortly after the release of the album). The outtake "Pass the Wine (Sophia Loren)" kinda speaks for itself. The reference to "bell bottom blues" in "Soul Survivor" is probably a reference to the song of the same name from Derek and the Dominos' Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs.

Word Salad Lyrics
 Exile on Main St. (Music) / int_e18675e6
comment
Word Salad Lyrics: A justified example with "Casino Boogie". Jagger had writer's block when attempting to write the lyrics, so he mixed up a bunch of phrases he'd written on torn pieces of paper; then the band members pulled them out at random. The order in which they pulled out the phrases was used for the song. This technique was evidently inspired by William S. Burroughs, who in fact had passed through the Nellcôte villa where the Stones recorded much of the album.
