Still my favorite Stones song, EVER.

Clark, do you know who that song was written for? I heard a line, "take me down, little Susie," and wondered who Susie/Susan would have been?

Haven't a clue Cynthia but a friend of mine, who shall remain nameless and who is not altogether unfamiliar with opiates, claims this is the best heroin song in the world and the Stones' "The Spider and the Fly" is the best cocaine song in the world.

Well then. I like Bonnie Raitt's "Guilty" when I feel like getting smashed. Thankfully, this does not happen too often.
"Stupid Girl" - Ellen Foley

Once again, where were girls like this when I was in high school?

"Sad Song," Ellen FoleyEllen was the subject of the Clash song, "Should I Stay or Should I Go." Clark probably already knew that. She also was the girl singer in a couple of Meatloaf songs.

Believe it or not, Phil, I wasn't referring to myself but rather a dumbass friend who finally gave that shit up before he went tits up.

Sorry about your friend. If (s)he was your age, that's much too young to go.
Wild Mountain Honey - Steve Miller Band

No, he gave it up and it didn't kill him.

Oh, I see. I thought you were saying he gave it up, then later went tits-up. Misread it.

For a while there back in the 70's, every southern band had to have the equivalent of Skynyrd's "Free Bird" in their repertoire.

How True. Much of the desire to have what we now think of a 'Jam Band' tune in the lineup went to both the Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers Band. The Van Zant boys (of Lynyrd Skynyrd) made numerous comments in interviews about the admiration for and friendship with Duane and Greg.
In fact there was a whole decade or so of bands that just couldn't find the end of the song they were playing. Some notoriously had trouble finding the start! (see Iron Butterfly for an example of both in one song)
Ah, those were the days where a concert was as likely to be a riot as it was to be anything.
Iron Butterfly did not even know their own lyrics.
Susan wrote: "Iron Butterfly did not even know their own lyrics."Exactly!

Agent Orange, "Seek and Destroy." Guess who I thought of?
Béla Fleck - Danse MacabreI really, really like that cello-and-banjo-version. It was recorded for the audiobook of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book.
I like it, too. I think I might download that song.
That's what I did, Susan. Seems we've got a good taste in music, eh?
"Better Off Without a Wife," Tom Waits.She been married so many times, she's got rice marks on her face.

Is that part of the quiz? Then I'd say Elizabeth Taylor ;-)
Nope it's a line from the Waits song.

Agent Orange were (are?) great! Check out their killer cover of "Pipeline":

Cool Pipeline cover. Yes, I thought of you (and the lost boys of my youth) when I heard Agent Orange. Who else?
Aw man, you gave it away. I was going to say I almost had the answer...Waits, Waits, Don't Tell Me!
Phil got it!I love the lines:
I don't have to ask permission,
If I want to go out fishing,
I never have to ask for the keys.
