BEAST OF BURDEN ![]()
Linda Ronstadt isn’t the only woman to cover a song by the Rolling Stones; Bette Midler recorded “Beast of Burden” in 1984 – her music video for the song includes a cameo by Mick Jagger playing a somewhat exaggerated version of himself (if that’s possible). Here is a sample of the lyrics in “Beast of Burden”:
I’ll never be your beast of burden My back is broad but it’s a hurting All I want is for you to make love to me
I’ll never be your beast of burden I’ve walked for miles my feet are hurting All I want is for you to make love to me
Am I hard enough Am I rough enough Am I rich enough I’m not too blind to see
