JAGGER ROCKS BUSH: 'HOW COME YOU'RE SO WRONG, MY SWEET NEO-CON'
"You call yourself a Christian, I call you a hypocrite/ You call yourself a patriot. Well, I think your are full of sh*t!... How come you're so wrong, my sweet neo-con."
Ready to drop in the coming weeks, a new Bush-bashing tune from the ROLLING STONES: "Sweet Neo Con."
"It is direct," Mick Jagger says with a laugh to fresh editions of NEWSWEEK.
"Keith [Roberts] said, 'It's not really metaphorical.' I think he's a bit worried because he lives in the U.S." Jagger explains. "But I don't."
The lyric also mocks National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice.
News about the song surfaced a few weeks ago with many expecting that the song would not make the finally cut.
The band kicks off its world tour in Boston on Aug. 21.
Developing...
Mike Love is the only founding member in "the Beach Boys" that tour under that name. The Wilsons left it alone a long time ago.
Well, yeah, you could put it that way ... 2 died and one went insane for many years.
Actually I thnk it was Keith who sang "Happy".
Brian Wilson is far more crucile to the existence of the Beach Boys and the creation of their songs but he cannot reference the band name in his own advertising.
Brian's back on the road, BTW. What's Mike Love's excuse for the past 20+ years?
Mick is a Buchanan-ite, who woulda thunk it?
Brian Wilson WAS the Beach Boys and one of the 'elite' songwriters in pop-rock history. He had a nervous breakdown and people took advantage of him. Mike Love was one of the main parts of the BB's, no doubt, but he should give it up already. Of course, let's not forget that Carl Wilson was also in cahoots with Mike until he died a few years ago.
SO what? I still dig the Stones.
Uh, you forgot to include your sarcasm-off tag at the end of that, right?
Paleo-Con means OLD-Conservative and the entire Bush Whitehouse was Conservative BEFORE Conservative was Cool!!!
they NEVER had to switch sides cause they were ALWAYS on the right... see???
That's another thing. The youngsters these days don't know how to rock.
How young? Just because a band isn't played on the radio doesn't mean a thing. Little Steven has said that if the Rolling Stones came along today, they wouldn't get played.
There is no new rock and roll on the radio. Did bands stop playing rock and roll after the deaths of Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, Eddie Cochran, and the arrest of Chuck Berry, the induction of Elvis Presley, the shaming of Jerry Lee Lewis, and the religious professsion of Little Richard? Nothing between that era and the Beatles?
There was plenty of rock and roll being made. Radio switched to novelty songs and poster boy pop stars. Even with that payola scandals ran through the early 1960s. Just because radio didn't play it and magazines didn't cover feature it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. Same as now.
The only time I buy a CD anymore is when the artist dies. Kind of a commemorative purchase. Aside from that, the only musical recordings I listen to is what happens to be played as bumpers on the radio or when that ******* drives by every day at 5:45 on the way home from his warehouse job. But, I hear plenty of music and it is live. Sometimes concerts, but usually just rehearsals.
