Mick Jagger takes a swipe at Bruce Springsteen over anti-Trump rants at gigs: ‘You don’t want a lecture’
Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has appeared to criticise fellow rock veteran Bruce Springsteen over the American singer's habit of delivering anti-Donald Trump remarks during his concerts. According to the report, Jagger suggested that audiences attending gigs are there for the music rather than political commentary, reportedly saying that "you don't want a lecture" from the stage. The comments are notable given the contrast between the two artists' approaches to mixing performance with political messaging.
The remarks position Jagger, long known for keeping the Rolling Stones' shows focused on entertainment, against Springsteen, who has been vocal in his criticism of the US president during live performances. The article frames the exchange as a pointed "swipe" from one rock icon at another, highlighting an apparent difference of opinion over whether musicians should use their platforms to air political views.
