Furthermore, I paid for a ticket to hear you sing, not hear your political views.  Who cares what Mick Jagger or Bruce Springsteen have to say anyway?


"Mick Jagger has a message for his fellow rockers:  Stay out of politics.  Fans don’t wanna hear it.  Mick wants them to remember that song about leaving people alone, i.e., “Hey (hey), you (you), get off of my cloud, get off of my cloud.”

Host David Marchese noted that Springsteen ‘clearly sees his job as engaging in a meaningful back and forth’ with audiences before asking Jagger what his own relationship with fans means to him.
Jagger said his priority is giving audiences a break from the outside world.
‘The bottom line of my thing really is that my job in the live music world is [for] those people that come is to [sic] have the best time they possibly can,’ Jagger said.
