1. Listening @Political_Beats, I just realized that Mick Jagger in Shattered says "don't you know the crime rate's going up, up, up, up, UP?" Which makes total sense about NYC in the 70s. But all these years, I thought he said "prime rate" (which was also true in the late 70s).

That's funny but makes no sense considering the next line is "To live in this town you must be tough, tough, tough, tough, tough!"

Heh. I always heard "crime rate" but thought he said "ta-, ta-, ta-, ta-, ta-, ta-, tall" in the next line...because it was going..."up, up, up, up, UP!"...

I find this interesting because it *never* occurred to me he might be saying anything other than "crime rate."

But he then says “to live in this town you gotta be tough tough tough tough tough” ....seems more visceral than mercantile
