We’ll start with the song, ‘Shattered’ off the album 'Some Girls' by The Rolling Stones of course. The Stones always had a love/hate relationship with the US, and Mick Jagger's lyrics were often influenced by his thoughts on the country. The lyrics paint a bleak picture of life in New York City where Jagger saw a place where you could be wildly successful, but is also a city filled crime, drugs, and poverty. It should be noted that The Stones have taken shots at their home country of England as well, notably on "Hang Fire."
