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.”

Bullshit Mick you …yourself bashed President Trump what are ticket sales down in America..
Springsteen should take a look at what’s happened to George Clooney’s career. His lefty politics have made him radioative and he’s still battling the bottle. Springsteen is Irish like Clooney and still complains how rough the nuns were on him.
Jagger has put dicks in his mouth and guzzled cum. That said, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
I forgot, Bruce inherited his dad’s mental illness. Look it up.
No one is more mentally ill than you are!
Jagger has the sense to not talk politics and lecture people.
I cannot call Jagger or Sprintsteen musicians, since neither ever one learned to play or sing.
Mick Jagger = sexually active Christian.
Bruce Springsteen = a jew.
What an incredible idiot you are. Whenever you make an attempt at specifics, you fail miserably.
Jagger is a homosexual, which is your favorite subject. Homosexuality violates Christian doctrine.
Springsteen is Christian, grew up Catholic.
You just scored another ZERO.
WTF is wrong with you?
Jagger has been married to several women and Springsteen was born and raised jewish.
You are a special kind of stupid. Go back on the short bus, and stick a calculator right up your ass where it belongs!
Springsteen is as jewish as they come.
