Rolling Stones dropping Brown Sugar .
Jump to: Newest in thread
After playing the classic 'Brown Sugar'more than 1200 times live, Jagger/Richards have decided to drop the song from their live sets, on the grounds of it's racist lyrics.
I have very mixed feelings and thoughts about this and appreciate times have changed, we have moved on etc..but how far do we go? Will they also drop all the sexist stuff from that period?
Anyone else have thoughts?

Unlikely. Medina is a holy/spiritual city in Saudi Arabia. So that's Tone Loc compromised if he ever sings "Funky Cold Medina" ever again. |

I think you're mixing up your Rap genre with your Indie/Madchester vibe...its twisting my melon man! |

Guess they can decide which songs of theirs they want to sing or not.
I think Jaggar's been distancing himself from it for years, but I can see why he might not want to sing about sla*ery that much. |
