Sorry I couldn't get back sooner; I've been in trial. My apologies to Maxlugar. It was actually telecaster who wrote, "Maxy is right Insulting 51% of your audience in the US is not smart." I suppose tele was referring to Maxy's post, "These are troubled times and the last thing roughly 50% of this country wants to hear is a lecture by a millionaire Englishman." I was evidently relying on tele's gloss of Maxy's quote when I attributed the "51% of fan base" comment to Maxy.
My more general point stands. Statistically, Stones fans are more likely to be in the half of the voting population that opposes Bush and perhaps even more likely in the half of the country that doesn't bother to vote. The "Dixie Chicks" spectre which continues to be evoked by reactionaries ignores the fact that right-wingers ARE the fan base for country music, NOT for rock'n'roll. You right-wing rockers are an anomaly. |

The Stones have been in business for over 40 years and over that time people that call themselves their "fans" will surely be a larger cross section of the country than you are surmising. Many of the 60's kids for instance turned into Reaganites in the 80's. There are no surveys that I'm aware of, but I don't think people that like the Stones or rock and roll in general that happen to have voted for Bush are an anomaly. Not everyone who voted for Bush is "Right-Winger", the way I think you mean it.

This is kind of crazy arguing about the political demographics of Stones fans. Look around at whats happening . . . the recently signed energy bill gives billions of dollars to already insanely wealthy oil companies. So much for free market economics. . .this is corporate welfare raiding our treasury! Today oil hit $65 a barrel and we the little people are taking it in the arse! This administration doesn't give a fuck about you unless you are a corporation or a millionaire. Wake up!

Easy. Because nobody on this board cares what you have to say
Really? Um...ok, Tele, if you say so. I know none of your happy little band of miscreants ever lets anything I say go unchallenged. But I guess that's different...somehow...and the people who actually SAY they agree with me really DON'T, I guess, because...well, I don't know why. It's some sort of shadowy left-wing conspiracy I guess.
I know you guys would like to believe I'm a lone lunatic - but I think all of these "NeoCon" threads proved that I really am "middle of the road". And that I'm certainly not alone in my beliefs. Mick's on my side, for one!
I wonder if he got the idea for this song - which is supposed to be GREAT, by the way - (heeheehee) - from reading our ridiculous arguments on this board? That would be pretty cool, huh?

I guess I misunderstood your comment at Maxlugar.com: "If Mick starts preaching at Fenway or any show prior I, for the first time ever, will pass"
I thought you meant you would pass on any further shows including ones you'd already purchased tickets for. Now I realize you meant you would pass a kidney stone.

If gasoline prices keep shooting through the roof , Bushie43's Presidency will most CERTAINLY go the way of Nixon's Presidency ( see : ARAB OIL EMBARGO , circa 1973 / '74 ).

I remember my days as a constant lurker here and I remember being put off by all the photos and nonsensical comments by Joey. I now solemnly take all the unspoken and unwritten trashing of all resident posters BACK. I would have never thought that the day will come when I see a PAris Hilton photo on RO and feel a sudden burst of joy over what, in this context, seems like the only reasonable thing to do. I mean in this thread, pointlessly posting photo Paris Hilton is really only (forgive the big words)the perfect metaphor to capture the senselessness of it all.
As a youngster, let me add that I did not mean to insult anyone. But reading through the thread, this was the feeling that came over me. |

now this is the bit i don't understand...to me it's the opposite - to over-react to criticism (or being mocked)is itself a show of weakness (an almost tacit agreement that that the criticism/mocking is justified) - a show of strength to such things would be to completely ignore them
there is clearly a completely different mind set about attitudes to politicians in the US as compared to here (as i'm sure corgi would confirm) - mocking politicians (of all stripes) is accepted practice here - even the one's that you support - they're all opportunists (even if they may have started out with good intentions)whose only concern is getting hold of power, keeping it and(wherever possible) expanding it
Further, those that say politics has no part in music are being either niave (sp?) or disingenuous - everything is political - life is politics - as was pointed out by another (nasty??) "neighbours" is as "political" as "street fightin' man"
as for the stones and SNC - well i just think it's good that they are still able to ruffle a few feathers - that's why we love them isn't it?? |

Fuck right off asswipe! You're a fucking headcase asshole. Reread my post and figure out the point before you start spewing your shit. I think this whole political debate is bullshit on a goddamned Rolling FUCKING Stones message board!
As for my age I am old enough to know that you are far too young to know shit from shinola. You fucking putz! I have been posting on this site for years now you stupid noobie! I have friends here that are democrat and friends that are republican. Guess what fucknut? I have even had beers with my friend Flea! What a shocker,huh?!
Here's an idea. If you are new to a message board,as you are,why not get to know some of the regulars before you try and call one a poser! You have no fucking clue as to what branch of the service I may,or may not,have served in. Guess what? You're never gonna find out either. Why? Because this is a Rolling FUCKING Stones message board!
Pull your head out of your ass and reread my post carefully. Maybe you will be intelligent enough to figure out the point that was being made,but alas,I fear that you are not so bright to read between the lines.

Nanky as much as I would love to hit Boston I will be in Atlanta on that date! Please give a full report as I know you will! Philly #1 is the only show that I've got tix for to date. That will change for sure. MSG is gonna be a scalping show for me,as will the Giant Stadium show. You coming to YOPTI again? Giants?
Oh,and by the way. Isn't 72Tele a fucking tosser? Yeah,I think so too! He does have huge internet muscles though! I'll give him that much. Tosser all the same though.

Tele just leave Riffhard alone, Riffhard is right, this is a Rolling Stones message board about the music, and I think that the song in itself "Sweet NeoCon" will be pretty cool, I hear it's a delicious rocker. |

Hey man, I almost agree with you except I have seen too many people get physically attacked after some asshole decided they were an easy target cause they took verbal abuse. Take that example and put it in a bigger situation... Osama talks a lot of shit, we do nothing(ignore him) so he starts coming after us since we look like a weak and easy target. If we werent so passive when he was threatening us 9-11 may not have happened...just my own thought. Also, I don't mind so much when entertainers trash the US and the way its run, just pisses me off when they go around the world doing it.

well to me that's a completely different situation...that's not criticism or being mocked, that type of "shit" is a palpable threat and requires a completely different type of response |
