LOW RENT RAT ...blog it with attitude...: "STONES PUT TODAY'S ROCK STARS TO SHAME
Why is it that The 60 plus Rolling Stones are willing to stand up against the Bush cult while others do nothing?
Back in 91 they wrote Highwire, one of the few, if any, anti-war songs about the first Gulf War:
We sell 'em missiles, We sell 'em tanks
We give 'em credit, You can call the bank
It's just a business, You can pay us in crude
You love these toys, just go play out your feuds
Got no pride, don't know whose boots to lick
We act so greedy, makes me sick sick sick
14 years and another Bush presidency later, the Stones are back speaking truth to power:
You call yourself a Christian, I call you a hypocrite,
You call yourself a patriot. Well, I think you are full of shit!
The Stones! The fucking Rolling Granda Pa Stones!
Why is it that they are doing what this generation has failed so miserably to do? HUH?
Where are the Hip hop stars? Too busy rappin about bling?
Where are the rock stars? Too busy being afraid? Don't want to piss off the corporate media who will ban you from MTV's cribs?
Do you mean to tell me when Rage against the Machine left, they took the only set of balls that today's music 'artist' have?
In this day and age. An age were young people are dying in an unjust war.
Where a president acts like a gangsta. That we have NO ONE speaking out against it in the music community is a damning statement about our society today.
Are we that infatuated with bullshit? With reality TV? With wanting to be a fucking Hilton, that we no longer care????
Sweet Jesus! We are wallowing in the toilet bowl of history...
