Stones raise voices against war
The Boston Herald ^ | August 21, 2005 | Larry Katz

``George Bush doesn't listen to us,'' Keith Richards said.

But that's not the only reason the Rolling Stones, who open their world tour at Fenway Park today, won't be getting an invitation to the White House anytime soon.

The Brit rockers' new CD, ``A Bigger Bang,'' comes out Sept. 6, but Matt Drudge and other right-wing media types are already foaming at the mouth after discovering the lyrics to one of its songs, ``Sweet Neo Con,'' a scarcely disguised savaging of the commander in chief.

Politics doesn't sell records and it can hurt record sales. But I think that this disk won't sell because it sucks.

Funny, that was my reaction to Richard Dreyfuss when I heard he was with Cindy Sheehan. Who knew?

From the Title I was not sure which war they were against.

Revolutionary War, Great French English 100 year war.

They may know what they are talking about they have personally seen them all.

Geeze, and here I didn't think that Richards could look any worse.

On the other hand I understand that Jagger is in line for the biopic on the life of Don Knotts due to the close resemblance (no offense to Don Knotts).

What Dub could learn from Keith Richards probably wouldn't be good for him.

Look at that picture and imagine a hat on him. Does anyone familiar come to mind? I don't think Cindy Sheehan actually exists. I think it's Keith Richards in capri pants and a cowboy hat.

The only Stones song of the last 20-odd years that I really enjoy is "One Hit to the Body" and that rocks because Jimmy Page is on lead guitar.

``George Bush doesn't listen to us,'' Keith Richards said.

That begs the question of why would anyone listen to a group of old, burned out, braindead, has-been druggies?

Why should he?
