In fact, I almost expected the sax work to be performed by that buff, shirtless guy from the movies of that era instead of chubby Bobby Keyes. "Winning Ugly" sounds like it should be part of a John Travolta soundtrack. The first two tracks on side two, "Winning Ugly" and "Back to Zero," are beyond awful. The token reggae track, ""Too Rude," is actually one of their closest attempts to mimic the original genre. "One Hit to the Body," featuring some guitar work from Jimmy Page, is a ferocious, yet over-produced rocker, and "Fight" and "Hold Back" are.well, OK. Honestly, the first half of the record isn't that bad if you ignore the horrific '80s production. Is the record really that bad, though? That's what I set to find out this afternoon. Even the ever-reliable Charlie Watts was in a feud with Jagger after a comment where he was called "my drummer." Due to Mick Jagger's side deal for solo records, his already-simmering relationship with Keith Richards was at an alltime low. Despite the fact they had just signed a record-setting deal with Sony Records, relations in the band were at an all-time low. There's good reason why this record was so poorly received. It's the record that one almost always sees in the record store cutout bins the one that can be guaranteed to be in any used CD store in the country. "Dirty Work" is quite possibly the worst criticized album in the Rolling Stones catalog. The soundtrack for this jaunt is one that I've been worried about for weeks. Although rain was forecast for late afternoon, just before noon there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Along with reporting on what happens on the live feeds, I'm also one of the hosts of a live internet radio show, "The Big Brother Gossip Show."Īll of this is beginning to cramp my style a bit, but I just had to get outside today. For the last few years, I've been reporting on CBS' "Big Brother" for. While part of the reason for my lack of updates has been the weather, the fact is that I have yet another side project going on these days.

I know it's been a full week since my last walk.
