Jagger Says Song Not an Anti-Bush Tirade
Via Drudge
 The Rolling Stones' upcoming album contains a song seemingly critical of President Bush, but Nigel Tufnel Mick Jagger denies it's directed at him, according to the syndicated TV show "Extra."
| "Yeah! It's directed at... ummm... somebody else... No, wait! I got it:" |
"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 'Smell the Glove Sweet Neo Con' if it was."
Somebody must have told the stupid, drunken limey that more than half of us American ticket-buyers voted for said "Sweet Neo-Con".
The song is from the new album, "A Bigger Bang," set for release Sept. 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."
| "Like, profound, man! Gimme a hit off that bong, wouldja?" |
"It is certainly very critical of certain policies of the administration, but so what! Lots of people are critical," Jagger told "Extra."
Lots of drug addicts overdose and slip into a coma too. Too bad you can't be more like them.
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 Aug. 21.
Boston. Figures.
