This guy made a song based on a virtuosic drum solo by Marco Minneman. The songwriting becomes really interesting when you use drums as a starting point, also when you base it on a largely improvised solo. It has a kind of freshness to it and gives a different angle on music than most normal songs, besides that it's a good song and that you're dealing with a genius drummer:

Exile on Main St. is such an underappreciated record.

The way it dismantles rock and roll from the inside out, turning it into a murky, feverish collage of drug-induced, orgiastic anthems to radical individual freedom, makes it feel almost proto-post-rock. It doesn’t affirm the mythos of rock stardom so much as it lets that myth collapse under its own weight. Instead of clarity or defiant swagger, the album gives us entropy, exhaustion, and excess pushed past the breaking point - like a record that got left out in the sun too long and started to melt.

And yet, somehow, the Stones are held in the American consciousness as emblematic of rock’s golden age, as though their music were synonymous with some idealized vision of American civic religion. But Exile has more in common with French postmodernism than it does with red, white, and blue nostalgia. It doesn’t reinforce grand narratives - it fragments them, erodes them, and revels in their collapse. It doesn’t offer transcendence, just a decadent drift through excess and decay, a swamp of sound where nothing is fully solid or resolved.

Which makes the fact that Trump plays the Stones at his rallies so much funnier. It’s a textbook case of Freudian displacement - the leaking of repressed desires through unconscious symbolic expression. Trump, the supposed champion of "law and order," blasting the ultimate record of dissolution and debauchery right before delivering a speech about restoring greatness? A man obsessed with control unknowingly drawn to a work of pure unraveling? The irony is almost too perfect.

And of course, the Stones themselves knew what kind of guy he was - Keith Richards literally attacked Trump with a knife at one of their concerts in the '80s because he was being such an unbearable attention-seeking douchebag.

Anyways, check out the record if you haven’t. It’s really good.
