Couldn't have said it any better, Jeremy. Like you, I hadn't thought much about "Brown Sugar's" lyrics, but as you point out, they're pretty horrible (be careful, there's a lurker somewhere out there who'll try to tell you that child porn or pedophilia is no big thing. Couldn't believe it when he wrote me all that). Anyway, thanks man--really strong writing here.
