Mick Jagger: Fans Don’t Want Political Lectures at Concerts
Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger pushed back against the trend of musicians delivering political speeches from the stage, following Bruce Springsteen’s recent anti-Trump remarks.
Speaking in a Saturday interview on The New York Times’ podcast, Jagger said fans come to shows for an escape:
“The bottom line of my thing really is that my job in the live music world is for those people that come is to have the best time they possibly can. For two hours or whatever it is, to forget all their problems and the problems of the world… You don’t want to lecture them.”
He added that “Nobody wants to hear a whole song about politics.” (Video: AI)
Do you agree with Jagger that concerts should be an escape from politics? Or do you think artists should use their platform to speak out?

“If everyone is family, no one is family. If everything is urgent, nothing is urgent. And if non-citizens can vote—citizenship means NOTHING.”
He made it clear: allowing non-citizens to vote cancels out YOUR voice.
“Unfair. Unacceptable. Un-American. Illegal. And we will NOT tolerate it.”

Journalist Avery Daye exposes the history of Minnesota Rep Ilhan Omar
“Ilhan Omar — I figured not enough people know about her family’s history, so let’s recap:
Her dad and her grandfather were both high-ranking military officials in the Barre regime, which killed over 200,000 people. They’re most famous for the Isaaq genocide — it was the worst of the worst: aerial bombings, executions, man-made famine.
People massively suffered under this regime, with the help of people like Ilhan Omar’s family who supported the regime and carried out this, this horror.
— They have family ties to this guy known as the Butcher of Hargeisa, and his whole shtick was “kill all but the crows.””
“So the suffering of the people of Somalia was so bad that there was a civil war and the regime was overthrown. Her family fled first to Kenya and then Minnesota, claiming they’re like these asylum seekers.
These poor, poor people. No, no, no, no. They were fleeing to escape being held accountable for what they did. She was not oppressed. Her family, they were the oppressors.”
“So for the Democratic Party to have her as a representative is insane to me — and the way that they’ve like rebranded her as all this poor refugee? No, no. She wasn’t a refugee of war. Her family created the war.”
🚨 REP. Harriet Hageman just NAILED IT.
