New Stones song.....

[RightIsWrong]

Not that I, in any way, object to the content of the song...

But Mick seems a bit off-base saying that it isn't an attack on Bush with the snipets of lyrics in the article

CNN Story....Sorry Zendari for using the evil 'Left-wing MSM'

Rolling Stones tune takes aim at Bush policies
Jagger: Song not attack on Bush

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.

Yea, because everyone from the red states watch Nascar and are members of the KKK; perhaps this is why the majority of Americans voted against the politicians you hold dear, dear. Think about it and continue this myopic view of the red states, should you decide to lose another decade of elections.

Can't wait for Weird Al's "Sweet New Corn"

 

[TRUMPHENT]

On this new tour, do the Stones play "Sympathy for the Devil" befor or after "Sweet Neocon"?

More like calling out your closed minded attitude and ignorance.

But continue.

That doesn't mean the majority was right, now does it.

I didn't know there was a "right" vs "wrong" when the will of the people is heard in presidential elections. Oh, wait, you dislike Bush; therefore, anyone who voted for him was "wrong" because they didn't vote the way you, Jane Fonda, Mike Moore, Robert Redford, and John kerry voted :roll: You're "right."

It comes as no surprise to me that you don't know the difference between right and wrong.

I can't say what 1EZdunit is thinking, but if he IS thinking that, he's no more silly than others crowing over how the elections prove Bush is right. As you pointed out, elections decide the president, not right and wrong. Which is exactly in line with what 1EZdunit seems to have said.

And besides, a few more people than that voted for Kerry

I tend to agree that the whole Nascar/KKK/whatever view of the Red States is pretty stupid. But I have a hard time getting upset about it or feeling bad for the red staters, since I see just as much of those stupid generalizations from the right, all the more so since Bush managed to win the last election. I wish I had a dime for ever time red staters were described as KKK loving Nascar fans, 49% of Americans were treated as the fringe, blue staters were accused of being anti-family, namby pamby extremists, etc, etc.
