Apparently the Stones have decided to stop playing the classic track due to accusations of promoting slavery. Keith has said they will drop it for a while because they are tired of the arguments over the track. "Im trying to work out with the sisters quite where the beef is, Didn't they understand it's about the horror of slavery? But they are trying to bury the track and I don't want to get into conflicts with all that shit". Maybe they should replace it with Stray Cat Blues

More woke crap...nobody singing it at the top of their lungs in Havana looked offended.
Lola will go soon as it offends LGBTWTF
Quo will lose ROLD for mysogyny.
So glad I will always have my physical collection of music.

And lyrically far too subtle for the 'woke' clique. Stray Cat Blues on the other hand....

Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should. Nor get me started with the casual racism in the lyrics of the Oriental.

That's just a little bit out of context, wouldn't you say? The previous verse is this: Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields Sold in the market down in New Orleans Scarred old slaver knows he's doin' all right Hear him whip the women just around midnightBut yeah, in retrospect, maybe it's not so subtle after all

So glad I will always have my physical collection of music. That's right, utter woke crap. It is astonishing how close to book burning our woke world is coming. Seemingly from the left, but with a suffocating narrative of such censorship and ironically, intolerance. Lola is a good example, is this next? If you seek offence obsessively enough you will find it in all manner of art. When bands like the Stones 'take a knee' and capitulate, fear of "cancellation" or acquiescing to prevalent demands, it displays how powerful these people are getting. 50 years of Brown Sugar, played a billion times on radio, to millions in concert, yet it is the latest to incite the hysterical pants wetting from the woke brigade. Will all art in the future be bland, general and beige? I suppose so, as any edge of any kind will offend. Dull, bland, and acceptable to every demographic or sensibility. All art will first need to tick every acceptable box- is the language used in the song/film/book acceptable to every race and demographic? Are the subjects being portrayed inclusive enough and diverse enough? One person does not like the slang terms contained in a song, that would be a problem and those edges would need to be sanded down.

Simply pointing out the more inane side of this double standard.
A very good piece in the american press last weekend, during BrownSugar-gate news cycle, detailed some rap lyrics which were not simply explicitly cruel and misogynistic, but continually degrading to women. Far worse than any rock band.

Far worse than any rock band. Gaslighting of the highest order. I’m not defending any lyrics. But raping a child seems to be a pretty low bar for any artist to crawl below. Raping a child and enjoying it. But this is not a race to the bottom.
