Since This Is My Jam is being archived soon, I might as well include my all-time favourite song before it's too late!
choosing it as my first track just because it's always great.
Time for some Stones. This is from the #43 album in my all time list, Let It Bleed.

High School, Freshman year '79, Panasonic Boombox blasting this tune as soon as the bell rang. Ripped jeans, smelled like the roach I was keeping in my back pocket for "lunch". Had to be the fuckin' coolest kid in that fucked up school. It's a miracle I ever even finished high school. Odds were stacked against me. And look at me now, Hahaa! "It's just a shot away!"
