"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 'Sweet Neo Con' if it was." The song is from the new album, "A Bigger Bang," set for release September 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." "It is certainly very critical of certain policies of the administration, but so what! Lots of people are critical," Jagger told "Extra." 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 August 21.

Guest oldschooler Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 They`ve sucked for over 20 years. I guess they thought this would sell some records...go figure. Count me out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jza10304 Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 I haven't been able to chime in to much (been working pretty busily) but The Stones (who I personally don't feel to strong about, one way or the other), sold out arenas all over the U.S. and tickets down here were $400 a piece for lower bowl. Don't think they are too worried about cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 The Rolling Stones were replaced by Disney Animatronic robots 20 years ago.... This should clear up why they've sucked so bad for the last 20 years. Robots can't do heroin and/or write good rock tunes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitkat Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 i saw the stones at OSU stadium a few years back, and they did not suck. i heard that the song [u]did[/u] mention Bush's name and labeled him as a hypocrite, in regards to his christain claims vs actions. (which i totally agree with). i dont know where i heard it, but im absolutely sure of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
