Stones offer $1M
Rolling Stone Mick tells Rolling Stone mag that 'Sweet Neo Con' is a reply to a question we asked him during the election.
People kid Mick Jagger about being flinty, but the rock god and his fellow Stones are peeling off $1 million to help Hurricane Katrina victims.
The band is also making it easy for fans to join them in giving to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund at each stop on their Bigger Bang Tour.
Meanwhile, Jagger makes his 20th cover appearance on Rolling Stone today - more than any other artist.
Asked in the mag about the band's new song "Sweet Neo Con," Sir Mick recalls a conversation we had with him back in October, when we asked about the Bush-Kerry race.
"I don't want to overexplain [the politically charged song]," he tells David Fricke. "But it is very direct. During the presidential election, I was asked by the New York Daily News which side I was on. I said it's not polite to take sides in foreigners' elections. But we're not in an election now." <<<
