Mick Jagger: Not a Political Analyst, But He Plays One On Stage
Are you ready to rock and roll?
WOOOOOOOO!
We're going to do something a bit different tonight.
Wooooo!
You've probably heard that our next album is going to be a little more political, so we've revamped some of our old stuff to be a bit more topical.
Woo...?
He's joking, right?
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!
Later...
Chuck Schumer!
You legislate so good...
Chuck Schumer!
Just like a Senator should.
I think I like the original version better.
Later...
I know
Bush is waging an illegal war
And I don't like it
I wish they'd just do Sympathy For The Devil.
Please allow me to introduce myself...
All right!!
I'm a threat to Roe v. Wade...
That's it. I'm out of here.

UPDATE II: Point Five scored an exclusive interview with Mick. Hmm, I thought he said he wasn't going to comment on this any more. Must have slipped his mind.
Hahaha, well done, well done :)

Mick thinks I'm going to take political advice from him? Obviously he's had too many years of really bad drugs!

I have been a Stones fan for years. I will no longer be buying their albums. I still like the music though, so I will be downloading them for free. -- Grokkster et al as political protest?! Suxors.

Why can't they just stick to music? I read a really good piece about Bing Crosby yesterday. In the article, Bing said that he never thought it was right for celebrities to try to use their celebrity status to influence politics. I wish all musicians/singers felt the same way!

Hey, if they want to caper around and make fools of themselves, I think they've earned it by now. That doesn't mean I'll take them any more seriously, though.

The Stones have been irrelevent far longer than they ever were relevent.
Posted by: Frank | August 10, 2005 at 07:28 AM
HA! It's killing me how after 40 YEARS (!), now they're going to get f'n stupid? Shut up and sing!
Clearly, senility is to blame.

The Stones are what Aerosmith would've become if they hadn't all gone into rehab: the living dead.

Gotta love these pretentious celebrity "rebels" who take pot-shots at Bush, but don't have the balls to write a song that take pot-shots at Osama Bin Ladin. In the end, Mick Jagger is just another irrelevant coward whoring for album sales. There is no integrity in that.

"Woo?"
Hilarious! Mick and friends are ready for the grave...

Way to strike while the iron is hot there Mick.

Does the "shut up and sing" mentality apply to Toby Keith, Ted Nugent, and Charlie Daniels as well?
Posted by: Connor | August 10, 2005 at 10:55 AM
Just look at what all those years of dope has done to him i mean dope is for dopes nuff said SQUAWK

Connor,
I didn't say anyone should shut up. Mick Jagger is free to make an ass out of himself, and I'm free to poke fun at him for doing so.
Even if I did suggest he shut up, the First Amendment would still be intact.
And I'm fairly sure he'd ignore me, anyway. He never takes my advice.

The Rolling Stones. Huh. *Yawn*
Posted by: RebeccaH | August 10, 2005 at 01:59 PM
The Stones, the Stones, man I can't believe they're still doin' it after all these years.
Fred and Barney.

The Ma-rines in Sadr City
They chased a Syrian through the park
In a case of known identity
They put a bullet through his heart
Heart breakers, Pain Makers...
Sure to tear your world apart
You heart breaker, with your M-16
Gonna tear your world a part

I was drivin’ my bomb-rigged car
And that man comes on the bullhorn
And he’s tellin’ me I'll be put away
They'll drill me for useful information
While I'm under incarceration
I'm in Gitmo, mo, mo, mo
Hey hey hey, Guantanamo Bay
