She definatley broke it in car accident.

'''''It's Only Rock'n Roll''''' is an album by [[The Rolling Stones]] and was released in 1974. Following up on the relatively mellow ''[[Goats Head Soup]]'', The Rolling Stones aimed to create a more energized album. While the album was popular in its release, it did not jolt the band out of their perceived lean period, one which would not end until the revitalization of 1978's ''[[Some Girls]]''. ''It's Only Rock'n Roll'' is also notable for being guitartist [[Mick Taylor]]'s last album with The Rolling Stones, as he decided to leave the line-up in December 1974 to work with former [[Cream (band)|Cream]] bassist [[Jack Bruce]].

Goes to show how memory plays tricks on you.

Actor Noah Hathaway who played Boxey in the original Battlestar Galactica series broke his back when he was thrown from a horse and stepped on (during the filming of NeverEnding Story in which he played Atreyu). Maybe you mixed these two up?

With work having started on the project following The Rolling Stones' fall [[The Rolling Stones 1973 European Tour|UK tour]] that November in [[Munich]], [[Germany]], further new songs and overdubs would be effected there in the spring months of 1974. Alongside the usual outside contributors, [[Ray Cooper]] would act as percussionist for the album. [[Ron Wood]], a longtime acquaintance of the band, began to get closer to The Rolling Stones during these sessions - being Mick Jagger's original co-author of the song (credited with "inspiration by Ron Wood" on the album's sleeve), and with [[Keith Richards]] appearing on Wood's debut album ''[[I've Got My Own Album To Do]]''. Although they weren't in a rush to replace Taylor once he resigned, Wood would be the natural replacement when the time came.

''It's Only Rock'n Roll'', after [[Jimmy Miller (musician)|Jimmy Miller]]'s departure, was officially produced by [[The Glimmer Twins]], a pseudonym for [[Mick Jagger]] and Keith Richards. Starting with this release, all future Rolling Stones albums would either be produced by them or in collaboration with an outside producer.

In July, the lead single, "It's Only Rock'n Roll (But I Like It)", was released and despite the familiar sound, it surprised many by not reaching the Top 10. With its sing-along chorus, it has become a staple at Rolling Stones concerts. "Ain't Too Proud To Beg", originally a 1966 hit by [[The Temptations]], was released as the second single in the US only, where it also became a Top 20 hit. Its parent album appeared in October with strong reviews and brisk initial sales, reaching #2 in the UK (breaking a string of #1 albums that stretched back to 1969's ''[[Let It Bleed]]'') and #1 in the US where it eventually went platinum. Yet, ''It's Only Rock'n Roll'''s chart stay was relatively brief, amplifying to many that The Rolling Stones were indeed in the middle of a minor commercial slump.

In order to promote the album, music videos were filmed for several of the songs. The most commonly-seen video from the album was the video for "It's Only Rock'n Roll (But I Like It)", featuring the band (in sailor suits) playing in a tent, which gradually fills with soap bubbles. Videos were also filmed for "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" and "Till The Next Goodbye".

In 1994, ''It's Only Rock'n Roll'' was remastered and reissued by [[Virgin Records]].

One of the Rolling Stones' largest fan clubs goes by the name "It's Only Rock'N Roll," though its members typically refer to it as 'IORR.'

==Miscellanea==

Mick Taylor claims he co-authored [[Time Waits For No One]] with Mick Jagger. Off the record, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger have confirmed Taylor's claim.{{fact}}

Keith Richards stated in interviews when the album was released, that the album was mastered poorly, making it sounding "dead". In 1999 [[acetates]] of various tracks of the album appeared on the bootleg market, confirming Richards' claim.{{fact}}
