I agree with Keef

@millercarbon,

"If you want to live in a world where you are no longer free to do or even think anything but what they tell you, just keep going the way you are. If you want to live free, JUST SAY NO!"

+1

Besides, this is Rock and Roll we’re discussing here.

You don’t like it, don’t listen to it.

Don’t try to stop others either.

(Maybe also try to get help with parental/authority issues, but that’s a separate personal issue).

It’s called freedom of choice.

History has shown us time and time again that such freedoms are hard won and often all too easily surrendered.

Does anyone think the people pushing to cancel out Brown Sugar would attend a Stones concert now or ever have?  I seriously doubt it.

I’ve been waiting to read a response

Guaranteed there will be some "celebrity" responses calling Peirs the "R" word and the usual dialog that comes with it.

The attitude has lost some luster.

A molehill out of a seven figure sponsorship deal. Everyone still has the right to say and feel as they wish. No one however has the privilege to say and feel as they wish without consequences. Thats not a new circumstance. There are some though who believe you should have unfettered free speech (we do) without having to face any blowback (not going to happen).


The Stones made a business decision….I don’t recall seeing boycotts or picketing. There is no “they” who sent down a directive forbidding them. Maybe even the Stones now recognize that singing about forced sex with those in bondage is pretty poor form. Same might call that rape.
