Mick Jagger song really about Harvey the rabbit

Mick Jagger is the top contender for the Chris Martin Award for Dumb Ass Rocker.

Give the aging king of spandex credit for nerve. He tells Extra TV that the song, "My Sweet Neocon" off their upcoming album is not anti-Bush. Sorry to inflict senseless bordeom on readers who never did me any harm, but here's a sample:

"You call yourself a Christian, I call you a hypocrite/You call yourself a patriot, well I think you're full of shit."

"How come you're so wrong? My sweet neo-con, where's the money gone, in the Pentagon."

"It's liberty for all, democracy's our style, unless you are against us, then it's prison without trial."

Forget the winking denial that it refers to Bush. More importantly, can you imagine any rock star releasing the song if "Christian" were changed to "Jew" or "Muslim"? And isn't the term neocon so very "three years ago"?

This is the world's best rock act?

Got to give him credit. He's still alive and mobile at his age. And singing?

He's lip syncing. Milli Vanilli is doing the heavy lifting.

He's lip syncing. Milli Vanilli is doing the heavy lifting so Mick can stir the Metamucil.
