I agree with Keef

Hello,
There is no such thing as bad press. It doesn’t matter what color, race, or religion you are. All lives matter! I truly believe that. 
Can you imagine what it would cost them to get this kind of international press. Millions! Why is the song bad now, but not decades ago. They have been around for decades. This is self promotion. I have a great idea. Everyone stop listening to The Rolling Stones forever for this fake act of awareness by them. They knew what the song was about at the beginning. If they want to really impress me. Give all their money away to help people of color get better education, start sports programs  that they don’t have to pay for, and create youth play areas like nice play grounds and parks to grow up in. Otherwise the private prisons who are literally working against them will be happy to take them in for a nice profit. That is really happening. Stop blaming each other. Blame the people who are making a profit from this. 

Regarding what the song is actually about, here is what its writer, Mick Jagger, said:

In the Rolling Stone interview (14 December 1995, RS 723) Jagger spoke at length about the song, its inspiration and success, and taking credit for writing the lyrics. Keith Richards also credits Jagger with the song in his autobiography.[14] Jagger attributed the success of the song to a "good groove". After noting that the lyrics could mean so many lewd subjects,[15] he again noted that the combination of those subjects, the lyrical ambiguity was partially why the song was considered successful. He noted, "That makes it... the whole mess thrown in. God knows what I'm on about on that song. It's such a mishmash. All the nasty subjects in one go... I never would write that song now." When interviewer Jann Wenner asked him why, Jagger replied, "I would probably censor myself. I'd think, 'Oh God, I can't. I've got to stop. I can't just write raw like that.'"[16]

And yet, we have rap and hip hop music that promotes disrespect, sexual exploitation, drug use and cop killing.  Not all of it, but enough.  We are on our second generation of this music.  Who listens to this:  the young people.  Is it influencing society?  I think so.  I am not for censorship but the only way to get rid of this is to stop buying it; not cancel culture but supply and demand.

@tgilg, And not for the better.

The Stones arent being censored, they are making a business decision to not play Brown Sugar at this concert. Full stop. They also made the business decision to announce their decision in the media. Full stop. Sounds like both decisions are achieving the goals of THEIR decision. Nothing more, nothing less.
