Re: Why is ABB a flop in the US ?

I have wondered whether the misunderstanding, by the way cleared up in an early post on this very board (at a time when I myself had not yet obtained a vinyl version of the album), about whose point of view is taken during the verses of "Sweet NeoCon", in contrast to the short "answers", might have contributed to an amount of bad publicity. That is, some challenging lines are wrongly taken as the Stones' message to the USA, instead of being views attributed to NeoCons themselves, almost certainly not without controversial aspects for certain quarters even then, which, nonetheless, is something quite different. A possible fact that in its turn might have led to scarcer playing of the whole album on radio stations and so on. May this be the case to some degree?
