The Rolling Stones' upcoming album contains a song seemingly critical of President Bush, but Mick Jagger denies it's directed at him, according to the syndicated TV show "Extra."
"It is not really aimed at anyone," Jagger said on the entertainment-news show's Wednesday edition. "It's not aimed, personally aimed, at President Bush. It wouldn't be called 'Sweet Neo Con' if it was."
The song is from the new album, "A Bigger Bang," set for release Sept. 6. There is no mention of Bush or Iraq. But it does refer to military contractor Halliburton, which was formerly run by Vice President Cheney and has been awarded key Iraq contracts, and the rising price of gasoline.
"How come you're so wrong? My sweet neo-con, where's the money gone, in the Pentagon," goes one refrain.
The song also includes the line: "It's liberty for all, democracy's our style, unless you are against us, then it's prison without trial."
"It is certainly very critical of certain policies of the administration, but so what! Lots of people are critical," Jagger told "Extra."
A representative for the Stones said the group had no further comment about the song.
The Rolling Stones intend to kick off a U.S. tour in Boston Aug. 21.
He could end the WOD, by taking all the drugs himself. At least he appears to be giving it a good try, even without being appointed.
This is your brain.....This is your brain if Ozzy had been playing with it.... He's already a one man walking anti-drug commercial!

Being 40 years old, I thought they crossed that point in the 80's. I guess they couldnt learn the lesson of the fat, bloated Elvis.
"you cant always get what you want, but if you try sometime you just might find that you" can totally screw up a good thing. Not smart Mick the shmuck. This crap will hurt in the wallet.
Oh, I don't know. Aren't they the geniuses that decided to drop Hank Williams Jr. for Elton John? Football, male bonding, beer....and Elton? Hello?
yeah, right. Like I believe him?
Its those stupid mice... always double clicking!
Yer right... I put nothing past them.
Thanks for clarifying that Alice Cooper is a Pubbie Christian conservative. Go Alice go!

Whoa! Dissing the fat bloated drug abuser with horrible fashion sense........How dare you.
Whoa, you're in trouble now! No one disses the King! LOL!
Stones take notice... those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it!
Saw them in Philadelphia in '66 and in Auburn, Alabama in '68 -- with Chuck Berry as an opener! -- and they were always anti-establishment. It's just that it isn't cute any more when you are 'way, 'way old enough to know better.
Or as Ozzy would say, "AURGHBAURGHLEGARGHWAHAURGHBAURGHLEGARGHWAH!!!!! *THUD*"
Mick, many have said this before but let me reiterate:
God don't like ugly fools like you.
Ozzie: "Uhh man, this job's a real drag. I was told there would be drugs"?
