The Rolling Stones have cut their popular track "Brown Sugar" from their US tour, at least for now, in the wake of criticism over its lyrics referring to slavery.

"I'm trying to figure out with the sisters quite where the beef is. Didn't they understand this was a song about the horrors of slavery? But they're trying to bury it. At the moment I don't want to get into conflicts," the superstar told the paper. The gritty rock chart-topper officially released in 1971 opens with the lyric "Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields" and references beating enslaved people, and sex with young enslaved women.

"We've played 'Brown Sugar' every night since 1970, so sometimes you think, We'll take that one out for now and see how it goes," frontman Mick Jagger told the LA Times.

Dont upset anyone! They will burn the police stations down all over.

While the Stones cave, today's Brown Sugars belt out far more vulgar and denigrating lyrics. Give Mick and Keith some viagra so they can go F*%k the cancel culture mob!!!

Cancel them immediately, then go through all their emails and private communications to make sure they've never uttered a discouraging word towards anyone. LOL.
