Ronnie’s rhythm guitar part later became the Lucid Nation song L.A. River that Keith Richards called marvelous. I played a sweet bass line on that, but I like this song just as much.

They say L.A. is a city
In a nightmare that never sleeps
Show me a town where pity
Outweighs the law of the street

The twentieth century,
Baby, it’s history
Time can’t turn back
To how things used to be

Do I sound a little paranoid?
I had a nightmare for breakfast today.
I saw a hundred million people
Pretending it’s yesterday.

It’s like Woodstock never happened
It’s like Ike never died
It’s like Elvis never shook it
It’s like Nixon never lied.

That song is over ten years old but it makes even more sense today. I may have to do a version of it with Lucid Nation I like it so much.
