They pre-empted that by saying they would not play that sing in concert again. Took them longer than it should have to give up a song about rape and slavery.

Some wet their pants just at the mention of some old stars name!
I think Mick Jagger and Joe Biden probably wear specially pads for that.

As for Jagger, an alleged tax avoider, he just says whatever the audience want to hear, and will talk the talk when it comes to the left, however when it comes to walking the walk it seems a very different matter.

The Stones' holding company, Promogroup BV, has been quietly raking in millions since 2013, records held by the Dutch Chamber of Commerce show.

In the most recent documents, filed in March this year, the directors note that 'receivables' in the year from January to December 2021 amounted to $25million (£20million). In that period they paid tax of $213,000 (£168,000).

The previous year, ending December 2020, they paid $75,000 (£60,000) in tax but reported receivables – including royalties, which are then counted as assets – of $33million (£26 million).

Contd....
