Jagger back-peddles on "Neo-con"
Mick Jagger is already back-peddling on the soon to be released "My Sweet Neo-Con" single. It seems he's denying that it's about president Bush. Here's Jagger as quoted by the Washington Post:
"It is not really aimed at anyone. It's not aimed, personally aimed, at President Bush. It wouldn't be called 'Sweet Neo Con' if it was."
There's also this interesting statement from the same Post article:
A representative for the Stones said the group had no further comment about the song.
Hmm...Do you think they might be a little concerned about American backlash that might have a detrimental impact on their tour of the United States that's set to begin this month?
What a bunch of little weasels. Ah, but I guess everything bows to the almighty dollar huh? -- even convictions that pretend to despise the pursuit of that dollar (i.e. the "Halliburton" mantra makes its way into this song).

I say audit the bastards and check their immigration status.
Sometimes I wonder if maybe we're seeing the beginning of the end of know-nothing celebrities being taken seriously when they spout malformed opinions. These days, they seem to crumble very quickly when confronted by very basic questions and even the slightest criticism.
Jeff, have you seen Team America World Police yet? Disguisting, gross, over the top, obscene, should be banned. . but one of the funniest movies that I have seen, and is the last word on know it all celebrities. . they are mercilessly skewered. Michael Moore gets special treatment.
