It's not right but it's the way it is because we have tolerateed it for so long.
They could say nothing at all about politics - which is the wisest path to take, I think.
An aside about Mick Jagger, I last saw the Rolling Stones live at the LA Coliseum back in 1981. Concert was somewhat infamous for being the one that Prince got booed off the stage at. Rock and Roll audiences weren't ready for that kind of music yet, as well, we were more looking forward to seeing George Thorogood open the show. Prince was not George Thorogood!
Even back then - well over 40 years ago - the jokes were already going around about the "Rolling Bones" tour. By that point, they were already among the dinosaurs of rock.
I did not have a good time at the show. I had cheap seats and could hardly see them. I never did like seeing rock concerts in huge stadiums.
Jagger actually took a lot of heat back in the day, because he was one of the few rockstars that supported Margaret Thatcher.
I guess they got to him, eventually.
I saw them In Boulder. They were great. 10-3-81
