Now that's the kind of artist I can respect and continue to be a fan. Way to go, Mr. Jagger.

I got satisfaction from Mick’s response.

That’s how it should be. I hate that these questions are even asked. 🙄

1

Seems like Mick gave up his rebellious spirit of the 60s

Finally, a musician that gets it. Leave your politics at the door ! Luv ya Mick !

Mick has it right! Springsteen is p.o.s. and the NYT is a rag.

Finally it seems, somebody gets it. Thank you Mick

There is no back and forth with Bruce. He just spits out his biased opinion

2

we got lectured by Carlos Santana at his show. We will never go see him again. What a drag...

23

I don’t care what Bruce Springsteen says, but he should stay out of politics because I don’t think he is very smart.

3

Good man. Ticket prices are so high, we just want to see entertainment for our dollar. We can watch insufferable scolds blathering about politics for free at home.

I’ve already credited Jagger with a keen (and practical) mind, so that he’d say that is no surprise to me. Springsteen is like the drunken angry uncle blaring his politics at a family Thanksgiving while everyone else is too well-bred to engage with him . Just sing already for your paying audience. It is not your job to harangue your audience. You have nothing of value to contribute to the conversation. You’re just indulging your vanity.

2

He is so spot on! He can have an opinion but he doesn’t need to share it with the world. Thank you Mick Jagger for some common sense and respectfully disagreeing with the reporter.

1

How is lecturing “engaging in a meaningful back and forth”?

2

Jagger has always been smarter than people give him credit for.

I just went from kind of a fan to a big fan!

Respect! My parents’ first date was a Rolling Stone’s concert. My father has passed away and my mother has dementia. And this guy is *still* going strong entertaining the world. Kudos. 💕

1

Mick gets it.

1

Springsteen doesn’t engage in any back and forth. Springsteen rages at those who disagree with him.

2

My first concert was in 1967 when I saw the Temptations the last concert I saw was Jeff Beck before he passed away. I probably saw over 100 shows easily and I never heard any band preach about politics or who you should vote for.

5

At times their songs have had societal or political type messages. I think that is their artistic license. I listen to them for their music and songs. Period

3

In other words, don't give people who like your music, which is why they know who you are in the first place, a reason not to like you and stop listening to your music.

1

I wish all these blatherskite celebrities felt that way.

31

Mick Jagger knows his place in the world, Bruce doesnt.

1

Meaningful? Come on! Its only one way with Springsteen. Hes seriously boring today. Jagger is spot on!

1

I wish every musician and actor understood that. We go to concerts and movies to be entertained. We have our own opinions we don’t need their lectures and don’t care what they think. Especially if we paid for a fun experience.

23

Yeah I stopped listening to Bruce many years ago. He doesn’t care to stay in his lane of music, and stay out of politics. F that guy

5

Listening to the Rolling Stones still today, Springsteen removed from my playing lists. His music except from his first two albums has not aged well. Entertainers, shut up and entertain, not interested in your politics. Jagger 👍🏻

Nice turn around from lecturing on getting vaccinated during C0v!D BS

57

The NYT start to feel lonely nowadays now that people've started to see through their propaganda and ignored them completely. Maybe try to tell the truth, the whole truth for a change, NYT?

3

I respect Mick for saying this. Was fortunate to see The Stones play live. Awesome show.

3

Refreshing that someone gets it besides Michael Jordan.

7

Bruce doesn’t know his own zip code let alone global governance. He hates Trump, OK. He’s allowed. There’s plenty wrong in London, Mick has a degree in Econ but he gets it: no one bought a ticket to a lecture.

1

NYT, "Are you sure you shouldn't tell people to hate Trump?" Asshat.

21

Thank you Mick, we come to see you guys for music. Not political opinions.

1

This makes me like Mick Jagger more than I previously did. Fuck Bruce Springsteen.
