The Rolling Stones music has been downright awful since Tattoo You (1981) but Mick Jaggers big lips keep on yammering. Mick, the great arrogant hypocrite, with a net worth of $500,000,000.00, and 7 children he couldnt give a damn about, is now lecturing American conservatives about morality:
The Rolling Stones, not exactly a band at the forefront of rock 'n' roll activism, are taking aim at the American right with a new song on their upcoming album, according to Newsweek magazine.
The track, "Sweet Neo Con," boasts the line, "You call yourself a Christian, I call you a hypocrite/You call yourself a patriot, well I think you're full of s---," according to the weekly newsmagazine.
A just what does ol Mick, one of the biggest narcissists in the entire known universe, know about patriotism or morality? The Stones are probably the biggest sell-out band of the great 60s music renaissance.
The Stones arent redistributing their wealth. They routinely rip fans off for $300 just for the privilege of hearing Micks raunchy voice and watching Keith get more and more ate up every year (see here also). Track marks, anyone?
Yeah. There are some old Rolling Stones songs I treasure. Albums like Beggars Banquet will always be close to my heart just because of the sheer beauty of the music. But I never felt these ruffians were kindred spirits not like Crosby, Stills, and Nash (forget about that commie Young). You dont see CSNs members pinning for the 60s wilted dreams, like revising Stalin or Ho Chi Mins history/legacy of bloodletting.
David Crosby, Steven Stills, and Graham Nash flew to Berlin in 1989. They gave a free concert to commemorate the tearing down of the Berlin Wall. They didnt charge people $300 per head.
Id like to say something to the Rolling Stones, but I wont because Im a civilized person well, almost. They say a picture is worth a thousand words:

I'm leaving to practice with my cover band in about an hour and were supposed to start rehearsing a Rolling Stones medley tonight.
F*** that, now. I don't feel like doing anything that will end up promoting these clowns. There's no shortage of music from other groups to play.
Need a picture of the Rolling Stones? Look up "overrated" in the dictionary.
I still blame Jagger, et al, for Brian Jones' death, even thoughit was ruled an accident.
The Stones were a pretty good ban, taken in the context of the times, but they were never great [musically]. And it's been over 30 years since they did anything worth turning on a radio for.
I'm an old blues/rocker from the 60's, couldn't get no satisfaction in high school /grin. And frankly, I never have given a crap about making rock political. Musicians ain't rocket scientists, duh. Mick Jagger? Why would anyone care what he thinks?
bump..bump..bump And another one bites the dust...bump
Not questioning the superiority of the Beatles, but after the shennanigans "Sir Paul" pulled at "Live 8" I wouldn't say they knew when to quit. McCartney has been a whacko environmentalist since the 70s, Lennon was more like Lenin through the 70s until he was shot.
Fortunately George and Ringo were my favorite Beatles. They just got rich, polluted their bodies with drugs and alcohol, and shut up about activism.
Hopefully AC/DC will come out with a new album. Not only are they better than the Stones but they are pro-Republican. They need to make another anti-Big Government song like their "Who Made Who"
"The problem is that people think a single mother only has one option, that of abortion," Morad told Caras magazine in the same interview last year, "and whoever doesn't choose that option is seen as opportunistic."
Hair Metal could be a decent choice.
I am personally wating for the Next Iced Earth album myself(not Hair metal)
I surprised at thier stance against the neocons. In Sympathy fpr the Devil they lay at Satans feet the sins of the Communists and Nazis. Suppose the old buggers just don't get that the world has changed.
Paul is definitely an ass. I heard years ago that he and Linda wouldn't employ meat-eaters on their tours. So much for that tolerance and diversity, eh?
"How come you so wrong, my sweet neo-con?" That line is from a song which was written and sung by Rolling Stone Mick Jagger.
A lot of people are talking about how it's Jagger taking a shot at George W. Bush. After all, underneath it all, he's still a Brit. He's in show biz, so that makes him a raving leftie and, of course, he hates George W. Bush. But I don't think it's about Bush. I think it's about Condoleeza Rice.
"How come you so wrong, my sweet neo-con?" Can't you just see Mick's lips wrapping around those lines as he checks out Condi in her "Matrix Reloaded " outfit?
I used to work at Mick's record company. Took him to dinner once. It was 30 years ago. But there's no way he's singing about a guy George W. Bush even if it is political commentary. No way.
Well wait. He is getting old. But, still, no way.
My question is this: Since when is the world's biggest troublemaker getting all dewy-eyed and singing peace ballads? Come on.
This is the sympathy for the devil guy. This is the guy who can't get no satisfaction. This is the guy who if he tries sometimes just might get what he needs. This is the guy who has inspired God knows how many American criminals, those tattooed, toothless types you see lurking around places you want to just keep driving through. They all sit around saying, "Well, hell, if it's ok by Mick, I guess it's ok by me. I'll just go beat somebody's head in with a pool cue."
Come on now. That happened and you know it did.
So "how come you so wrong, my sweet neo-con?" Come on, Mick. How come you so wrong about keeping Saddam on his throne? How come you so wrong back home there in Britain about those hate-spewing imams who won't harm anybody? So you think this line is going to go down in rock history? "Can't always get what you want, I can't get no" and "how come you so wrong, my sweet neo-con?" I don't know. Let's wait and hear how he sings it.
Who knows? Good singers make bad lines sound good all the time.
That's My Word.
You have to wonder if these clowns know that it's an anti-Semitic code word.
Seems like the whole MSM was laughing at 'em their last tour, over the hill and all, now that they have an anti-Bush song (which Mick denied was specifically about Bush in an interview tonight, yeah right Mick) the MSM loves 'em!
Those Stones albums are gonna sound good when they get under my tires;)
"Vulgar Half-wits" is just too "nice" an appellation for the stones.
I prefer dotardly burnt out obscene poser FRAUDS.
Mick Jagger making ANY comment to ANYONE about morality?
"This is your mind on drugs".
Who cares what they say?
