    Glaringly lacking in the film are any original Stones songs. The group, who fired Jones just before his death, must not have thought much of the movie if they didn't allow their music to be used. Smart fellows.

    Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington

    It's a depressing story made even more of a downer by the absence of any Stones-performed music from their prime '60s years.
