In those days, the lyrics could be misinterpreted, say rockers touring the United States
The Rolling Stones’ song “Brown Sugar” was not on the set during their US tour.
A “slave ship” is mentioned at the beginning of the text, and although it has so far been widely interpreted as a critique of slavery, in a recent interview with The Los Angeles Times, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards said they feared it would be misinterpreted in 2021. For now, they prefer to be politically correct, but do not rule out returning the song back to the menu.
They have performed the song at every concert since 1970.
I wrote “Brown Sugar” in Australia in the middle of a field. I was in the movie “Ned Kelly” and I injured my hand during the scenes. “, says Mick Jagger. In addition to the famous song, and Mick’s mother has roots in Australia, Eva was born in the suburbs of Marquisville, near Sydney.
A few nights ago, Mick played “Let It Bleed” on a 12-string guitar.
Shortly before the rock giants toured, they lost their drummer Charlie Watts, who died in Britain.
