Beast Of Burden


In Afghanistan western music is much frowned upon by the country's religious elite - in fact it was completely banned during the time of the Taleban.

And since the Taleban seem to be making a big comeback after all these years - I thought I'd dedicate a Rolling Stones song to the religious mentality that seems to underpin the Taleban's attitude towards women.

Now the words of 'Beast of Burden' are actually written from a male and somewhat self-pitying perspective - in my humble opinion.

But as the Taleban never listen to Mick Jagger & Co. anyway - I'm suspect that this doesn't  really matter too much.
