Wait a second, I think Bjornulf is a 100% correct. There's no reason for him to work any harder - we're all adults, not big cry babies. Are people forgetting. This is a Rolling Stones site. What do the Rolling Stones stand for? Not uptight, middle of the road, baby behavior. This is a band that was considered pretty Radical in the 60's and 70's. The Beatles were safe, The Stones were the rebels. I'm not saying politics should be discussed here but look at how political the band (especially Jagger) is. Examples: SWEET NEOCON, BLINDED BY RAINBOWS, HIGH WIRE, SWEET BLACK ANGEL (about radical Angela Davis), MUST BE HELL, ROCK AND A HARD PLACE, FINGERPRINT FILE (supposedly inspired by the spying the FBI was doing on John Lennon, the USA trying to deport him, etc), SALT OF THE EARTH (a few lines at least), STREET FIGHTING MAN, GIMME SHELTER, SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL, YCAGWYW, , UNDERCOVER, some songs on Micks solo albums. These are just off the top of my head so I'm sure I've missed some. The Stones have always been somewhat of a political band. I mean they aren't RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE but there's plenty of songs on the CD's...
