Rolling Stones and "morals"
I'm at work and a Supervisor(he just happens to a born-again) is thumbing through a program manual from the Rolling Stones Tour.

He said even if he could pay $50 for front row seats he would give them away.
He came across one of their play lists and it had a song titled "Sweet Vagina".
The comment from him was, "Look, isn't that disgusting" to which I replied, "I don't take offense to the word 'vagina'. At least they didn't use the 'c' word".

This got me thinking.
I am absolutely sickened by this consciousness. It is rampant down here in San Diego County.
People get put off by sexual references yet when an F-18 fighter jet passes over they drop everything to get a look as they smile and think that it is neat.
Sick morals from sick people.

1. that would be 'sweet virginia' from Exile on Main Street.
maybe they re-recorded it as a joke, but the stones never put out one by that namein a normal fashion.


'c'mon, come on down, Sweet Virginia
....
c'mon, come on down, you got it in ya
got to scrape the shit right off your shoes...


a sippet of lyrics...

2. I know but....
It was written as "Sweet Vagina" on a hand written play list in the program.

4. i see. poor taste or ignorance then. it's a fine song.
esp the chorus.
in fact, 'exile' is one of the greatest records ever made. not a bad song in the bunch.
but that is a strange account...it certainly is...

3. Rolling Stones
Doesn't your Supervisor know God created the sweet vagina as opposed to the disgusting vagina so folks would enjoy being fruitful and multiplying otherwise no one would be here.

5. why? oh why do republicans hate sex?
this is rhetorical -- but -- how can you honestly object to sex?

out for a rollicking good time -- going to see some rock and roll --
something sexy HAS to be in the air -- otherwise life would be dull indeed.

he's a offended by{incorrectly labelled} ''sweet vagina''? good -- cause who would want to sit next to him?

6. so typical.
outraged by the human body and any pleasure associated with it; turned on by bloody body parts that are the spoils of illegal and immoral wars.

7. Sex has absolutely nothing to do with morality.
But the Pukes used Clinton to convince moron America to believe otherwise. Now when you say the word MORALS, they immediately think of sex.

They are programmed to be perverts. The word VAGINA presses the perversion button.

8. Thank you for your wine, California...
Wading through the waste stormy winter
And there’s not a friend to help you through
Trying to stop the waves behind your eyeballs
Drop your reds drop your greens and blues

Thank you for your wine, california
Thank you for your sweet and bitter fruits
Yes, I’ve got the desert in my toenail
And hid the speed inside my shoe

But come on come on down sweet virginia
Come on honey child I beg of you

Come on come on down you got it in you
Got to scrape that shit right off your shoes

13. That said, I don't think they're worth the ticket price.

I saw 'em 10 or 11 years ago. Decent show, although I was so far away that Keith and Mick could have fit on a postage stamp. But overall, too many pushy yuppies in the crowd and no one.. no one.. NO ONE WAS DANCING.

I guess I just was spoiled by too many years of going to see the Dead, where usually the Audience-as-a-collective-mind-and-entity had some concept of what the hell it was doing.

I don't know how people can go watch rock and roll and just sit there, or stand like slowly swaying statues holding their cell phones "Yeah... They're playing 'Brown Sugar'... So, how's the market looking?" and $8 dollar cups of beer.

But I see nothing wrong with vagina, sweet or otherwise.
