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.
My pleasure.
RE: #73 an #74.
Good ones! LOL!
My guess is that it's just another case of "nobody I know voted for him." Mick's a rich, pampered, secluded celebrity who probably thought this stuff was clever because everybody he knows told him it was, even the butler, the chauffeur, and the pool-boy. How was he to know?
You are BAD!
Ozzy is a great choice, he can set his alarm for Thursday, call in on Friday and promise to show up Monday (repeat)
(Come to think of it he would make a great Senator from Massachusetts)
Real deep stuff from the original band of morons.
HA!
Just proves that what we think DOES matter to the brain-fried git.
I have the feeling that somewhere in time I remember reading that Jagger was personally very conservative. He was a Tory. Of course, in my dotage I may have him confused with Rod Stewart who (if I remember correctly), I was madly in love with. :*)
Hey Mick- act your age.
Oh, I know, it's only rock'n'roll, but I (still) like it.
Who cares what the politics are?
look. like him or not, one thing mick jagger doesn't need to do is "backpedal." take him at his word.

He has a right to his politics. I have a right to give him no more of my money. I have a right to choose my entertainment, and am not particularly interested in giving money to people who mock me.
The song title is "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo" (Heartbreaker).
Just fyi - one of my favorite pieces of trivia. Need to remember when looking through alphabetized lists.

he can backtrack all he wants...with one foot in his big mouth.
I saw their "Farewell Tour" 20 years ago...looks like I picked a good time to bid them a farewell.
As the book is titled: SHUT UP and SING
All these left-wing rockers are only hurting their own pocketbooks....morons. Rich? yes...Bright? Hardly.

No, no, no, Doug! Don't smash any of it! **Sell** it, then send the money to a conservative organization (preferably a *Christian* conservative one, such as the Salvation Army or similar). Then let ol' Mickster know that you've sent them a donation -- courtesy of the Rolling Stones! LOL...
