Keith Richards doesn't want to bash neo-cons
From Tim Blair's site:
Guitarist Keith Richards disclaims responsibility for the song, written by singer Mick Jagger: “If I’m going to write a song, politicians are the last subject I think of,” he tells USA Today. “ ‘Neo-Con’ is like an old headline. Nobody will know what it means in 10 years.” Sort of like “Center 42."
But Jagger says: “I have my opinions, which I’ve stated in the tune. Maureen Dowd is no more qualified to have opinions than I am.” No one can possibly disagree with that.
