herr-rossiMick Jagger hat ja selbst bereits 1995 darüber gesprochen, dass er den Text von „Brown Sugar“ so nicht mehr schreiben würde, „God knows what I’m on about on that song. It’s such a mishmash. All the nasty subjects in one go…“. Das war lange vor „Wokeism“. Und zuletzt hat er gesagt, er akzeptiere, dass Dinge sich ändern. etc. etc. etc.
Hier mal der Link zu dem lesenswerten Jenner Interview von 1995. Zum Brown Sugar Kommentar muss man ein bischen runter scrollen. Find das ganze Interview sehr lesenswert:

This is one of your biggest hits, a great, classic, radio single, except the subject matter is slavery, interracial sex, eating pussy …
[Laughs] And drugs. That’s a double-entendre, just thrown in.
Brown sugar being heroin?
Brown sugar being heroin and –
And pussy?
That makes it … the whole mess thrown in. God knows what I’m on about on that song. It’s such a mishmash. All the nasty subjects in one go.
Were you surprised that it was such a success with all that stuff in it?
I didn’t think about it at the time. I never would write that song now.
Why?
I would probably censor myself. I’d think, “Oh God, I can’t. I’ve got to stop. I can’t just write raw like that.”
