The Incomparable ROLLING STONES

I've always loved the Stones, since I was a wee lad. Personally, I prefer the older(younger) Rolling Stones, but they've got a new song they've been playing on their current (Senior) American Tour, called "Sweet Neo Con"... it's sweet!
Lyrics reprinted below... (without permission):

SWEET NEO CON
by the Rolling Stones
-- -- --
You ride around your white castle,
On your little white horse
You lie to your people,
and blame it on your war of course
You call yourself a Christian,
I call you a hypocrite
You call yourself a patriot,
well I think you're full of shit
Oh, sweet Neo Con,
What path have you led them on?
Oh, sweet Neo Con,
Is it time for the atom bomb?
You parade around in costume,
Expecting to be believed
But as the body bags stack up,
We believe we've been deceived
The horror you've unleased,
Will backfire with more grief
When will you ever learn,
Sweet Neo Con, as the world burns?
Oh, sweet Neo Con,
What path have you led them on?
Oh, sweet Neo Con,
Is it time for the atom bomb?
Oh, sweet Neo Con,
What path have you led them on?
Oh, sweet Neo Con,
Is it time to drop the bomb?
-- -- --


Probably worth the ticket-price alone...
Later, Herb.
