In the third verse "Chelsea drugstore" is a methadone clinic, Mr. Jimmy is Jimmy Miller - a friend of the Stones and producer of this record. Methadone was given in a "cherry red" liquid. That wasn't what he wanted, but was what he needed. Thanks guys.

[@Historian212]

A major hit, yes. Absolutely, one of my favorite Stones song of all time. So popular, that in our generation of kids who heard it when it was released, it was common to say, in a given situation, "Well, you can't always get what you want," and then pause, and everybody hanging around with you would say, "But you can try sometimes, and you might find, you get what you need." To this day, a generational touchstone.

[@rockandrollpaddy]

When was it a major hit? It wasn't. It was on the B side of Honkey Tonk Women in 1969 (number 1, both sides of the pond), but later released in the US only in 1973, peaking at no. 42. So it wasn't a hit single.

I was not a big Stones fan growing up, but over the years, and with the advent of KZbin, I've come to realize just how solid and influential a band they were. You can go from the early Stones in the 60s well into the 70s and even 80s to find dozens of well-written and played songs. They are certainly one of the top ten most influential bands that resided at the foundation of rock 'n' roll. Masters or writing and production.

I think that that run of albums (Beggar's Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main Street and Goat's Head Soup} are arguably the greatest run of consecutive albums by any artist ever. Has any other band done 5 albums of that quality consecutively? In 5 years or so? Goat's Head Soup is the weakest, but even that has "Angie" on it!!! Incredible. It's no coincidence that Mick Taylor was heavily involved in this period.

It's not a reference to Jimi Hendrix. The lyrics are referring to Jimmy Miller.

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

@@MedSurg420 Thanks for the info. You inspired me to research it, and we may both be wrong 🧐 Fun stuff, regardless: "Everybody," longtime west metro resident Stephanie Smith said, "knows about Mr. Jimmy." His real name was Jimmy Hutmaker, and if we choose to believe the age-old tale, he met Michael Philip Jagger on June 13, 1964, in Excelsior, Minn., which was the night after the Rolling Stones played a concert at the Excelsior Amusement Park during their first tour of the United States. The legend, we are told, goes something like this: Mick Jagger, the shaggy-haired lead singer of the emerging English rock band, walked into Bacon Drug on Water Street in downtown Excelsior to fill a prescription. He supposedly recognized Mr. Jimmy from the concert the previous evening. The two got to talking, allegedly, and Mick Jagger asked Mr. Jimmy why he looked so down, to which Mr. Jimmy replied that he had wanted a Cherry Coke from the drug store counter but ended up getting only a regular soda. Of course, "You can't always get what you want," Mr. Jimmy added to Mick Jagger. Or so he said. Five years later, the Rolling Stones released their 1969 album, "Let It Bleed," with a now-iconic final track, "You Can't Always Get What You Want." In the song, Mick Jagger sang about a drugstore, a cherry soda, and most importantly, a Mr. Jimmy.
