Rolling Stones’ song takes a swipe at US
neo-consNEW YORK (AFP)
– A new Rolling Stones’ song titled “Sweet Neo Con” appears to take a swipe at
so-called US neo-conservatives, many of whom are well known supporters of US
President George W. Bush.An excerpt from the song was published by Newsweek magazine this week, the
magazine describes the Stones’ hard-hitting lyrics as “political”.US Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice are three well-known members of Bush’s
inner circle considered by political analysts to be leading lights of the
neo-conservative movement.– “You call yourself a Christian, I call you a hypocrite
– You call yourself a patriot, well I think you’re full of s..t,” the song
says, according to Newsweek.Stones’ frontman Sir Mick Jagger told Newsweek with a laugh:”It is direct.”
Jagger also took a dig at fellow band member Keith Richards, who lives in
the United States.“Keith said, ‘It’s not really metaphorical.’ I think he’s a bit worried
because he lives in the US,” Jagger reportedly joked.The song is being released on the Stones’ new album, “A Bigger Bang” which
is due out in early September.
Thank you Mick. We need a musical influence to motivate the people and get
our voices her by the tyrannical leaders of this nation!
