Welcome back to Hard Labor and Money Splashes!

Welcome back to Hard Labor and Money Splashes! We conclude our coverage of the Stones' recent No Filter 2021 tour stop in our hometown of Detroit, MI. We dive deeper into the ins and outs of the setlist, the stage setup, Steve Jordan's drumming, the fantastic addition of Sasha Allen, and what might be next for the band in 2022! (and beyond...?)

Welcome back to Hard Labor and Money Splashes! This week we dive into part one of our special No Filter 2021 tour bonus coverage, specifically the Stones' recent stop in our hometown of Detroit, MI. We discuss the opening tribute to Charlie, the stage layout, some setlist surprises ("19th Nervous Breakdown! "You Got Me Rocking"! "Ain't Too Proud to Beg"! "Connection"!), some surprising song omissions (only one song from the recently re-released "Tattoo You" on the setlist?), Steve Jordan's drumming compared to Charlie's, how their most recent hit, "Living in a Ghost Town", went over with the crowd, and more!

Welcome back to Hard Labor and Money Splashes! Our examination of The Rolling Stones 1983 album Undercover continues with our review of the album's next two songs, "Tie You Up (The Pain of Love)", and "Wanna Hold You".

Welcome back to Hard Labor and Money Splashes! We continue our song-by-song review of The Rolling Stones' 1983 album, Undercover with a look at the album's second single, "She Was Hot". 

Welcome back to Hard Labor and Money Splashes! In this episode, we begin our song-by-song review of The Rolling Stones 1983 album, Undercover, starting with the lead single and title track, "Undercover (of the Night). Released in the fall of 1983, the song is both a political protest anthem disguised as a rocker AND a Top Ten hit with a great dance groove. The song's accompanying video (shot by Julien Temple) was banned by many media outlets upon initial release, ostensibly for its violent content, but perhaps more for its unflinching depictions of political unrest in Central and South America? (And the United States' role in that unrest?)

Welcome back! In this episode of Hard Labor and Money Splashes, we'll talk about the genesis of The Rolling Stones' 1983 release Undercover. An album that will end up going gold just days after its release, the record is met with a firestorm of controversy due to what's seen by many as violent and sadistic content. There are lyrics (and related videos) covering everything from political unrest and assassination to sadomasochism and cannibalism, and musical dips into dance, reggae, New Wave, groove, and of course, rock-n-roll. We'll also take a look at the Stones' status in the music world and popular culture (and a glimpse into the overall state of the world and the music industry itself) in 1982/1983.
