Rolling Stones Blast Bush On New CD

[Egalia]

Political Wire has an interesting quotation from Mick Jagger:

"I think he's a bit worried because he lives in the U.S."

-- Mick Jagger, quoted by Newsweek, on Keith Richards' fears of possible ramifications to criticizing President Bush in songs from their new album, A Bigger Bang.

Newsweek also quotes a line from one of the Stones' new songs targetting Bush. It's titled Sweet Neo Con:

"You call yourself a Christian, I call you a hypocrite/You call yourself a patriot, well I think you're full of s—t."

A Bigger Bang will be released on Sept. 6.

1. Hearing that on the airwaves will certainly bring me some long overdue

SATISFACTION!!!!!!!!!!! :bounce:

[Seedersandleechers]

3. Keith's fear might be from the

fact that his wife is staunch republican. Just read his newer biography.

[Egalia]

15. Yeah,

He's afraid she may never work again, or maybe it's a fear of small airplanes.

[rhett o rick]

4. What makes you think it will make the airwaves? nt

[i miss america]

5. Excellent question and point well taken.

The way I see it, in recent weeks the tide has finally turned. If the new Stones song is even halfway decent, word of mouth and the Internet will drive their CD up the charts.

The result will be that Mick and the boys will have their biggest hit in many a year.

Are you old enough to remember how powerful music was in the late 60s? I'd bet most Stones fans still do.

:applause:

[rhett o rick]

8. I am definately old enough. And I hope you are right. But never under-

estimate the power of power.

[Fire Walk With Me]

11. Ding! Clear Channel, baby.

[snowbear]

21. What's Clear Channel got to do with anything?

:silly: ---?

[i miss america]

22. They own the radio airwaves in this country

They choose what gets played, and politically, are in bed with this administration.

[Egalia]

14. funny! n/t

[ClusterFreak]

2. Nice to see Mick and the boys rattling the cage again....

...it's only rock and roll....but I LOVE IT!!!!

[Gemini Cat]

6. I will get this one.

This is just what I need to have SATISFACTION that Mick and the lads haven't sold out!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Dr Fate]

7. Steet Fighting Man is back!!! MY BOYS!!!!

Looks like I'll be handing my boys some money once again.

[Ishoutandscream2]

9. If you're needing tickets to either the Portland or Phoenix show

I have two to sell, and at cost! God, I'm so ashamed!

[Dr Fate]

10. I wish- I'll have to settle for I-Tunes or the CD this time.

Perhaps I can get somthing together for the San Francisco show- depending on my bank account.

But I've seen them many times- Wilco is opening for them in Atlanta- they are always a real hoot to see.

I'm certainly buying that song on I-tunes as soon as it is available.

[Telly Savalas]

12. Intriguing.

Quite a few right-wingers are fans of classic rock. I wonder how this will go over with 'em.

[MaineDem]

13. I ordered the CD today

Just because of "Sweet Neo Con"! A little over $12 at Barnes & Noble online.

Mick and the boys rock!

[Egalia]

16. Sweet Neo Con

With Bush so unpopular (FINALLY!) maybe it'll soar to number one. Dreamer here.

[gokar]

17. Wow Jagger's ire at Bush should net us all the young people's votes

but alas, most have never heard of Jagger, and the rest do not bother to
vote.

[kentuck]

18. The world needs this !

Someone like the Stones to put it in song is very powerful.

[snowbear]

19. Can't believe I'm the only one to rate this "UP".. I think it's GREAT !!!

I can't wait to hear it!! :) :) :)

[delen]

20. "Bout damned time

been listening to Gil Scott Heron rip Raygun and thinking WTF seems like someone could, would ,SHOULD,do Bush.
