Were Any of You Offended by the Rolling Stones 'Brown Sugar'?

My favorite song from them is 'Start Me Up' and I never paid much

attention to this one. 

 

Rolling Stones RETIRE 'Brown Sugar' after criticism over slavery lyrics:

Keith Richards says 50-year-old song is about 'horrors' of the trade

but he's tired of fighting with people 'trying to bury it' and band will

not play it anymore

Nope. The song isn't offensive to me. The Rolling Bones have been playing that song for 50 years. Makes no sense to cancel it now.

 

Original drummer Charlie Watts just died a couple months ago at 80 years old. Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood  aren't too far behind him. Victory lap. 😎
