I think Natalie Maines wishes she hadn't been so flip.
I'm sure she does, but there's a bigger issue here: I don't turn to popular "culture" for enlightenment. From time to time, I like the way it sounds--that's all. Is anyone seriously afraid that Jagger's song is going to change the political landscape?
I don't even turn to real culture for political insights. Wasn't Mahler a socialist? Where did Beethoven stand? It sounds silly to ask these questions. It's even sillier to fret over where Jagger stands.
