It were quite ignorant questions to begin with.
Edit: unless you're a new fan who doesn't know their songs yet

The term "Neo Con" refers to the radical right think tank population portion of the Republican Party. There are many people in the Republican Party that do not support their extreme view of the world. It would be sheep-like to assume that Neo Con's represent all Republicans! |

The Neo Con's agenda has been outlined in the Project for a New American Century's paper entitled Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century published in Aug of 2000. The Bush administration has been following this paper like a script for the last 5 years. It's very interesting that in Aug of 2000 they were contemplating how this new stategy couldn't be implemented without some catalyzing event- like a new Pearl Harbor. The source and quote can be found below.
http://www.newamericancentury.org/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf
"Further, the process of transformation,
even if it brings revolutionary change, is
likely to be a long one, absent some
catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a
new Pearl Harbor."

That 50% isn't their target market. You and a few others may reside in that 50%, but the core of their US audience would be in that OTHER 50%. AND it will play well in the REST OF THE WORLD(The Stones make big money OUTSIDE of the US market.). Or did you forget about them? Neo-Cons tend to forget about the rest of the world sometimes...or at lest pretend to forget about them when it suits their purpose.
I do indeed think that they will play Sweet Neo-Con live. There will indeed be fans who leave the fold. I'm sure Toby Keith will welcome them with open arms.
But I don't blame them for leaving. I'd probably leave the fold too if my fave band was calling me an assole. |

I don't think that is even remotely true.
The Stones are targeting anyone that'll pay -- I don't think they really give 2 cents about any of the politics other than as a generator of publicity. Otherwise they would have dropped the corporate sponsorships and included a "Sweet Neocon" song in every release to reach their "target liberal audience"
You guys have way too high an opinion of yourselves!

I'm tell you this because you are saying that this song will offend 50% of the populace when in actuality the neo cons represent maybe 15-20% of the population. You are equating being a good Republican with supporting Neo-Con's. I'm just pointing out a little disconnect . . . |

Oh OK. I'm stating Bush voters in general will be offended. I doubt if you voted for Bush you're going to make that distinction. Whatever... |

Oh hell Macky...everyone knows I have the biggest poll! My poll is so huge that it will destroy your hymen!
Actually, I don't give a fuck one way or the other...I was just twisting your man-titty. Nanky's right...I don't think the Stones care about a "target market". They know that for every Neo-Con that they lose, they'll pick up a Lilleth Faire Lib. And both give me nausea.
Either way, they'll get paid. And let's be honest, that's all the Stones really care about. |

Conservatives are a embarrassment to the rest of the level headed Americans. Gays, Guns and fear that is their main game. They seem to care about fetus's but don't give a shit about actual walking around humans. They love war but don't care to fight them. Everything happens for a reason and Jesus solves all problems. Education, media and science is a bad thing. Nature is a empty pit that we can all piss in with no ramifications. Simple people that frankly are a fucking bore to be around. And this tip is for those youngsters who have not made up there mind about politics and/or dating. Conservative's are the worst fucks on the face of the earth. And the con-chicks never give head. Non-conservative masturbation is a whole lot better then conservative sex. |

If anyone really and truly is offended (note I said "really and truly") by this Rolling Stones song called Sweet Neo Con, whatever the hell it ends up being about, then you truly are sensitive little pigeon-punk, and you should NOT be posting on this or any other Rolling Stones message board. You should be in therapy.
Oh, and hey Motesie, that "pseudo-con" phrase was one of your best. Thats fits George Walker Bush III right to the skeech. |

Sure I agree. I also agree they are money grubing SOB's to a fault. My overall point is they are trying to sell very high priced tickets and some shows and markets show weakness in interest, shall we say. Best not to drive anyone away at this point. $350 a ticket = many many beads for a Lilleth Faire Lib to sell. They might pick them up in spirit but will they shell out.
I will now wait to hear it.

Us message board posters are the die hards. The cream of the crop. Of course no one would be truly offended on the boards.
It's the stadium filler folk that could be turned off.

No they won't, because they won't even know about any new songs or album even. They come to hear the 5 or 6 Stones songs they know, starting with Satisfaction, thru SMU right down to JJF.
Anyway, this whole thing won't be an issue, and people making it an issue need therapy like Sirmoonie stated. If one defines himself/herself (including their taste in music) purely by their political colour/party they vote for every 4 years or so, that's really sad imo. I'd rather let my daily actions and personal convictions define myself.
I'm a genuine Dutch lefty, but if the song was in favor of conservatives/republicans/right-wing (take your pick out of the whole right-of-center political spectrum) thinkers, I wouldn't be offended. Maybe it wouldn't become my favorite song of the album lyrics-wise, but that's about it, I wouldn't lose one minute of sleep or raised blood pressure over it, and it sure wouldn't change my feelings towards the Stones as a band.
Still, these discussions are always fun, we all look around for slightly related topics to be able to vent our views and disapprovement every once in a while. We're only human. Well, most of us are anyway. |
