JAGGER ROCKS BUSH: 'HOW COME YOU'RE SO WRONG, MY SWEET NEO-CON'

Keith Richards has made numerous statements that led me to believe he was conservative as of lately. This lyric/song is either just to stir up controversy or the Stones have completely gone left and lost it. I've been a Stones fan since 1963 but this is gonna' hurt them more than its gonna' hurt me. Maybe Jagger/Richards needs to record a swan song.

Garbage. They talk like DUmmies.

[new cruelty]

You call yourself a rocker. I call you an ancient Brit / You call yourself an icon. The world knows you’re full of it! How come you’re so dull, my bitter liberal.

[skeeter]

Skinny Mick is embarrassing. On the bright side, octagenarian rockers, especially clutzy ones, jumping on the bush bashing bandwagon is the fastest way to drive it out of fashion with the younger set.

[Fawn]

Well...I won't be buying this album. The Stones are a favorite of mine and one reason was they kept their PRIVATE POLITICAL comments to themselves. Now I don't like them.

[finnman69]

"To me, that's treason. I call it treason against rock-and-roll, because rock is the antithesis of politics. Rock should never be in bed with politics,"

"If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we're morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal."

"Besides, when I read the list of people who are supporting Kerry, if I wasn't already a Bush supporter, I would have immediately switched. Linda Ronstadt? Don Henley? Geez, that's a good reason right there to vote for Bush."

-Alice Cooper

Probably won't go the way of the dixie chicks. They sucked to begin with. The stones have a win win situation. Conservatives will go because they are seeing the freaking stones man, and ignore the liberal spew. Just like we do with every movie, song, and video game out there. Some medium can toss in more spew than others depending on fame/legend rating.

[Coachm]

Just like an old boxer - doesn't know when to retire. Like I would say about Springsteen - shut up and just sing!

[dead]

Somebody change me bloody diaper!

[TBall]

Why don't you tell us what really happened to Brian Jones, Mick?

[JohnLongIsland]

these are the gentelmen that in the middle 1960's when they first started making their fortune seeked assylum in this country (which welcomed them with open arms) from the insidious british tax rate in effect at that time

[LibWhacker]

Too bad that scumbag wasn't in the Tube on 7/7. Might've given him a slightly different perspective.

[LongsforReagan]

"If the east coast is attacked by terrorists again, they deserve it".


Yeah sure, that makes sense.

[Drew68]

So what Mick is saying to me is "please listen to my old songs, the new ones are pathetic attempts to be relevant.

Exactly. The Stones haven't released a good album since 1980's Tattoo You.

That being said, Exile on Main Street is still the Greatest Rock & Roll Record Of All Time.

[Texas_Jarhead]

stinkin dinosaurs of rock

[billnaz]

Hey, Mick, how come you're such a has-been leader of a has-been group? The Beatles knew enough to quit when they were ahead. So did Creedence and other groups. Man, you are sooooo over.

[dennisw]

It's been all downhill for the Stones since Mick Taylor left. The lone exception is the "Some Girls" record from 1978.

[dfwgator]

When the Stones are playing to half-filled arenas on this tour, Mick may wish for a "do over."
