The Stones and their contempories were very much rebelling against 50s and early 60s culture. The Class system, the 'weve never had it so good' mantra of the then Tory Government. Homosexuality was illegal, abortion difficult etc.
Restaurants serving only 'traditional English cooking' Oh dear.
I for one am not nostalgic about those times at all.
No, of course not. And neither is Mick Jagger, who often enough has expressed his distaste for nostalgia anyway. But some people like to read it this way. However, it's quite clear what the lyrics and the accompanying video are about.
So ironic that he has distaste for nostalgia when he's made such a huge fortune out of it!

"I asked him why he did it" Maybe he didn't like Mick's answer. Keith had complained about "Sweet Neocon" too. Too political for him.

Thinking of Keith's non-involvement on various Stones tunes including Heaven, Too Much Blood, Saint of Me, etc. has there ever been any Stones tunes that had no involvement from Mick whatsoever? Whether writing or performing?
Sort of drawing a blank, but the first that came to mind is their cover of Too Rude, and according to Kenos site there's no Mick, but not sure how reliable that info. is. Am I missing some obvious ones?

Keith asked Mick if neocons were "worth" a Rolling Stones song, but said he would stick by Mick if it was important enough to him.
Keith was asked about "Streets of Love" and said it was "nice." Folks here and elsewhere questioned the sincerity of his statement, but that was his statement.
Have a look at the credit for "Infamy":
'Infamy': Keith (vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass, percussion)
Mick (guitar, backing vocals, harmonica, keyboards, percussion)
If anything, it would seem it was a very close collaboration by Jagger and Richards despite the lyric almost certainly being Keith's. Whether it was Charlie's illness or something else, but they seemed to have got along rather well during the making of the album apart from minor quibbles from both sides.
