MISS YOU- We’re gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls thats just dying to meet you
We’re gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, let’s go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to

A friend saw them last Sunday in Nashville, said Mick ran around for two hours, still incredible energy.

SATISFACTION - Baby, better come back maybe next week

You been walkin’ through the cotton fields

Singing about wrong time of the month

I'll admit that I'm not much of a lyric reader or analyzer, but I always figured that Brown Sugar was a compliment to black women- that they were sweet and desirable.

Now that I know the full story, I Won't Get Fooled Again.

Remember their first run-in with lyrics and American sensibilities was on the Ed Sullivan Show!.............

Came here to ask the same question...

Mick could change it to “Black girls just want to holler Let’s Go Brandon all night.”

I have never, ever understood ANY of this, but this particularly baffles me.

What is the objection? It doesn't seem to glorify slavery or sexual or physical abuse of slaves. It is simply putting lyrics to music talking about it.

Heck, if things can't be even mentioned in music because it somehow romanticizes them in the minds of these mental midgets, then why isn't the BloodRock song D.O.A. banned for romanticizing fatal automobile accidents? (No doubt some people would want it banned because it is depressing)


D.O.A. (BloodRock)

I remember, we were flying along,
And hit something in the air...

Laying here, looking at the ceiling,
Someone lays a sheet across my chest.
Something warm is flowing down my fingers
Pain is flowing all through my back.

I try to move my arm and there's no feeling
And when I look, I see there's nothing there.
The face beside me stopped bleeding
The girl I knew has such a distant stare.

I remember, we were flying along,
And hit something in the air.

Then I look straight at the attendant,
His face is pale as it can be.
He bends and whispers something softly,
He says there's no chance for me.

I remember, we were flying along,
And hit something in the air.

Life is flowing out my body,
Pain is flowing out with my blood.
The sheets are red and moist where I'm lying.
God in Heaven, teach me how to die.

I remember, we were flying along,
And hit something in the air.


I mean, really.

What is the damned point of ALL of this cancel crap? (besides finding another way to stoke a racial or sexual grievance...maybe that is ALL it is)

I feel it is deeper than just that.

That it saddens someone, makes someone feel bad about something, or discusses a subject that some people feel shouldn't be discussed?

This song is sure to make someone upset or depressed because it portrays a fatal car crash, perhaps to the point of causing real psychic pain (I never actively listened to this after the first time I heard it, because it is depressing...but I don't want the thing banned. It did stick in my mind after all these years, though.)

To me, folks, this is the epitome of what portrays Leftism in a nutshell. They cannot face reality.

If they don't like a song for whatever reason, as is the case here, they have to not only plug their ears, close their eyes, and shout at the top of their lungs "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!" which would be annoying but their own business, they have to throw the song down the memory hole so NOBODY, NOWHERE, EVER hears, sees, or even knows that song ever existed because it makes them feel bad for whatever reason.

These people pushing this narrative are delusional, deranged, and dangerous if we let them be.

Actually that Bloodrock song was banned from many radio stations when it first came out. It was played on so-called ‘underground’ FM stations only late at night. I remember staying up late one night to hear it after they hyped it all day..............................

I remember hearing it and thinking “Good God, who on earth wants to listen to THAT? I think I’ll just go slit my wrists now...”

Which is why I chose that as an example. There are boatloads of others...

So I’ve got two different tracks of “Brown Sugar,” I think I’ll go out and burn them.

LOL.

Of course! Louder, even...:)

And if it pisses them off, I will turn it up to 11.

If we keep going down this path, I foresee the day when something like Apple Music or any other player will detect the song you are playing (even if you own the CD) and after the first few notes will notify you that “This song has been deemed offensive. It cannot be played on this device.”

I don’t doubt it one bit.
We’re sure headed in that direction...

They would protest a *current* and *genuine* vestige of slavery if they were sincere: muzzle mandates.
