colduser Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 From USA Today On their "A Bigger Bang" album, out Sept. 6, Britain's Rolling Stones level an unusually direct blast at President Bush, calling him "more hypocrite than patriot" and ripping his foreign policy agenda. "It's liberty for all, democracy's our style/Unless you're against us, then it's prison without trial." Mick Jagger sings in Sweet Neo Con. Most previous political commentaries by the Stones, from Street Fighting Man to Undercover of the Night, have been more veiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marie Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 One of the members of the band is worried about the song because he lives there and their could be a backlash. Good on the stones to write a song about this, I thought most musicians didn't have an opinion about Bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colduser Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Now this: NEW YORK (AP) -- 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 September 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 August 21.

Professor Peedston Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 My ass it isn't about Bush. :lol: At any rate, love it or hate it, when was the last time anybody actually paid attention to new music by the Rolling Stones? It's turning out to be a good PR move for them either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
