#1 He should stick to songs about picking up ugly women.... something he knows more about than politics...

#2 They should deny their Visa's and not allow them into the country. Sounds fair to me.

#6 This should play well with the Air Head America crowd. And we all know what a massive consumer audience that is. Other than that, well who cares? All's it means is that I won't buy their album, you won't buy their album and they'll be lucky to fill little venues like Humphreys By the Sea - even after the radio stations give away 110% of their tickets. And Soros will have to fund rent a crowds to make it look successful.

"Number 3 caller, YOU are the lucky winner of tickets to the see the Stones!"

"Oh man, I never win anything".

#7 Who the hell wants to see 60+ year old geezers prancing around on stage dressed like ponces and singing the songs of their 30-year-gone youth? It was time for these characters to hang it up a long time ago.

#10 And to begin with, the Stones were, even at the age of their splendor, a very overstated group: the Beatles could do rock like the Stones (cf return from USSR) and alot of things teh Stones couldn't do (cf "Yesterday"). It was their demagogical "rebelness" who kept them in the charts. Furthermore unlike the Beatles they weren't lucky enough to find a bitch Yoko forcing the split of the group before their timle had passed so survived on their myth while producing mediocrity.

But this is a moot point, whatever his musical merits the real point is why is Mr Jagger's using the stage to voice his opinion as if he were anything else but a sixty years old guy who didn't go beyond high school, has probabbly read little during his life, lives in a bubble and has had his mind altered by drugs and excess alcohol? Your average blue collar can give sounder advice than Mike Jagger so why is nobody telling Mr Jagger to shut up out oif respect for that blue collar who doesn't have the same tribune and is smarter and better informed than him?

#11 A different spin. Jagger has always been a give the punters what they want kinda guy. He has doubtless seen the market for idiotic Leftist nonsense - M Moore etc. Just someone else grabbing his slice of the tax on Leftist ignorance.

#17 The utterances of aging Lord Rockstars who long ago became walking self-parody are just about as valuable as the words of the 60 year old street person riding a girl's bike around my slice of the city collecting second hand tobacco at 7:30 am. They share alot in common.

#18 It's all about free publicity and about introducing more excitement into a fading career that could use a little Viagra. It's also typical of Newsweek, which is why I no longer subscribe.

#19 Didn't these guys write a songe titled "Sympathy for The Bin Laden Devil?"

Too much sex, drugs, underaged females, and ... hmmm was it these guys who had sex with a small shark or was that Led Zep? Somebody out there will recall that one. Please clarify.

Hey, kiddos! We think Bush sucks, so we're still hip or fly or whatever the kids call cool today...

#31 OC,

Other than one poster suggesting that visas be denied (not a constitutional right BTW), I don't see a single call for censorship. Mockery? Yup. General snarkiness? Heck yeah. Rude comments about aging ignorant musicians? You bet. Censorship? Nah. Our enemies serve us best when we let them keep blabbering.

#42 NO GOOD REACTION
Sung to the Stone’s
NO SATISFACTION

I can’t get no good reaction,
I can’t get no good reaction,.
’cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can’t get no, I can’t get no.

Sittin’ in my big ol’ house.
I see my cat chasin’ a big mouse.
I’m glad I don’t have to feed him today,
‘Cause my record profits I’ve frittered away,
Drugs were no fire to my imagination.
I can’t get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that’s what I say.

I can’t get no good reaction,
I can’t get no good reaction,.
’cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can’t get no, I can’t get no.

Watchin’ my nose hair a-grow
Realize that aging ain’t so slow
I wonder if I got some bad beef,
Mad cow syndrome has no releif,
I don’t wanna drool on the nurse’s sleeve...
I can’t get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that’s what I say.

I can’t get no CD sale action,
Purchases of them are, but a fraction.
But I try, and I try, and I try and I try.
I can’t get no, I can’t get no.

When Cigarettes haven’t killed me yet
With what Jennings and Superman’s wife did get
Doc tells me, “you’d better quit this week
’cause you see you’re sinking.” - life is bleek.
I can’t get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that’s what I say.

I can’t get no, I can’t get no,
I can’t get no good reaction,
No good reaction, good reaction, good reaction,

PS. I would like to see Jagger himself sing this.
That is what I had in mind. -O'05

#44 Just had a weird thought. What if an aging rock band put out a really, really shitty song. What if that shitty song went up the charts because of the lefty lyrics despite being so lame. What if there was some kind of bet on the outcome of weather politics could trump art?

Just a thought.
