Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger Says Fans Don’t Want Political Lectures From Musicians Like Bruce Springsteen

Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger told the New York Times this weekend that he doesn’t think music fans want to be lectured on politics during concerts after being asked about liberal musician Bruce Springsteen’s onstage rants.

The NYT journalist asked Jagger about his relationship with the band’s audiences at live shows, using the example of Springsteen’s infamous political banter.

“Bruce Springsteen clearly sees his job as engaging in a meaningful back and forth,” said the NYT’s David Marchese. “What does your relationship to the audience mean to you? What do they represent, all those people out there?”

The Stones frontman replied, “Well, first of all it depends where you are and what kind of event it is. Like, the New Orleans event, that’s a festival. They didn’t come to see you necessarily, they bought their tickets before they knew you were going.”

He continued, “The bottom line of my thing is really that my job in the live music world is for those people that come to have the best time they possibly can and to forget their problems and the problems of the world, if they have problems, and for them to have the best time. It’s similar to going to a sports event… And you don’t want to lecture them.”

Springsteen has repeatedly bashed President Trump during his concerts, sparking a feud between the two.

Hundreds of social media users praised Jagger for refusing to push his personal beliefs on fans.
