| OOPS! Sorry Glithanis, you were right about the Father, Father, Father, Father! Sorry, In my version it sounds a lot like what I wrote, but I listened more closely at full volume and I discovered it is Father, Father, Father, Father, my bad! | |

| It was Nicholas II. His daughter was Anastasia, and then several years later a woman came around claiming to be Anastasia, actually alive. However, at this point there is DNA evidence proving that the real Anastasia died along Nicholas and the rest of the family. Anyways, this song is amazing. One of my favorites by The Stones. | |

| My girlfriends Sister is all caught up in this Church of God, the same type of church that author of the above article is a pastor to. And they cannot listen to music that has sexual references in it, swearing etc, so she can only listen to some country. The only movies she can watch are probably Disney movies. She has to wear a skirt or a dress at all time in public. So in general this church likes controlling all aspects of life, and they fear the most primative things in the world, Song and Dance, and think entertainment is wrong. | |

| Well I've grown up in the church, and it's not quite like that, you know, like the TV says it is, but I know what you mean. I didn't read the article, but I know there are idiots in the world like that, and they don't represent Christians or Christianity at all, and to say what one in here so ignorantly did "robot, take- everything-literally Christian" is laughable, and just as stupid as what you're accusing them of. I find it hilarious that so many people watch the Simpsons and thus think every Christian in the world is this robot devoid of the same common sense everyone else on the planet seems to be endowed with. Just shows that people will really believe anything that's popular. Back in the '60s, EVERYTHING was believed to be the devil. The guy probably just read the title, printed out the lyrics and claimed it to be 'satanic'. While music does indeed have a profound, sometimes negative, influence on the lives of the listener, one that goes beyond 'satanic', this is hardly the kind of song to worry about. Hell, this is one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard. Too bad it only focuses on violence, the one thing wrong in society everybody already agrees on, but it's still a masterpiece. As for 'Christian music', I agree. I find 'Christian music' defeats the purpose of music as it is, with the intent of being put into a label. When you write a song maintaining the intent to keep it 'Christian', what you do is box yourself in to a useless style, and it shows magnanimously in the result. Not to say Christians can't be amazing artists (J.R.R. Tolkien?), but when they label themselves as a 'Christian artist', you can almost guarantee it'll fit into the same box as the rest of it. I mean, hell, picture System of a Down or Rage introducing themselves as a 'political band'. Music is expression of self, and if that self is Christian, it will show in the work, but to restrain oneself like that is useless, and defeats the purpose of art. Personally, I believe in Christianity, but I still listen to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and any type of music I find to be good. And it should be noted, while I stated there are idiots like that, most Christians do as well, and that's not going against any 'Biblical law', just some zealot's 1950's religious beliefs. I know it's not quite the waterboy mom mentality like people would like to believe, and there's a lot more to it than the 'scary devil' routine that society has for some odd reason accepted as the Christian prototype. The Christians I know are actually the most rational and sensical people I know, but then again, I've never seen one of those types on TV, so no doubt they remain a very unseen and unrepresented people. Not to get off on a rant though, this is my favourite Stones song, and undoubtedly a masterpiece. Still gives me chills. | |

| not sure what tsar's assassination this song has to do with it may deal with Alexander II who was assassinated by Vera Figner and comrades in 1881 or Nicholas II who was assassinated in the Bolshevik Revolution, my guess is probably Nicholas since it mentions tanks, but the assassination of Alexander II happened because many changes were due in Russia, just curious if anyone knows for sure? | |
