I wonder if we will ever hear Brown Sugar played live by The Stones again, or indeed ever played on radio ?

If there's now a issue with the lyrics they could alter them like they've done it with 'Some Girls' (leaving out the black girls part) ....

One consequence of the BLM protests here in the UK is the removal of historical statues. I just read that HBO in the USA has removed Gone With The Wind from its streaming service.

Pretty scary this 1984-esque rewriting of the past..?
I hope the band will play "Brown Sugar" till they retire.

I think we're witnessing the removal of history or at the least heavy-duty airbrushing of it.

I wish people would stop invoking 1984. In the book the past is rewritten and every believes, or at least pretends, the past always happened that way. That's not what's happening now. Tearing down statues of racists is, if anything, being more aware of the past.

So do we have to re write history and white wash it ? The one has nothing to do with the other . Paramount Network just canned the long running Cops , due to what's going on .Will the rest of the entertainment industry run and hide and seek cover as well ?

Obviously it would be a good thing to change the lyrics in Brown Sugar and Some Girls.

No it's exactly the same thing. The only difference is people who do this think it's in the name of Rightness. They're the most dangerous kind of militants.
And if I understand you correctly, you have to destroy artefacts of the past to know it better??? Are you serious?
And where do you stop after you started cleaning the past? Burning books in the name of Rightness?
