The Rolling Stones created (and continue to set) the template for what a great rock-n-roll band should and can be (hence their standing title reign as "The Greatest Rock-N-Roll Band in the World!") Join us for an in-depth look into the group, from it's iconic members and their archetypal roles within the band (the master showman lead singer, the genre-defining outlaw guitar players, the unparalleled rhythm section) to their legendary music, myths, mayhem, and media mastery.

Hard Labor and Money Splashes Episode 11: "All The Way Down" and "It Must Be Hell"

Welcome back to Hard Labor and Money Splashes!

We complete our season with a review of the last two songs on The Rolling Stones' 1983 album Undercover: "All The Way Down" and "It Must Be Hell".

"All The Way Down" was the B-side to the album's first single, "Undercover (Of The Night)" (covered way back in Episode 3!). It's a bit unusual, with something of a New Wave feel, and manages to cover deep themes of nostalgia and the passage of time within a variety of fun and melodic frameworks. There seems to have been mixed emotions (pun intended) on this one from the band themselves; Ronnie's quoted as saying "We didn't explore its full potential". What do you think? (And are they saying, "We went all the way down"? or "She went all the way down"? or "She ran all the way down"?).

The album ends with "It Must Be Hell", a play on the "Soul Survivor" riff combined with Mick taking shots at various social problems (and predicting the obesity epidemic!). We also talk about the album's 12" singles and cover art and wonder why classic rock fans tend to ignore this album (and every Stones album since).

Thanks for joining us this season! We hope you'll join us in 2022 for Season Two!

"We'll be back next season with a bang!"
