Famed musician Mick Jagger believes he has a very specific role as an entertainer.<\/p>\n

Unlike most aging rockers who have decided that they need to become part-time political pundits, Jagger says he has no interest in getting into that realm. He says his job is to provide his fans \u201cthe best time,\u201d not a \u201clecture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mick Jagger Says It\u2019s Not His Job to Lecture Rolling Stones\u2019 Fans on Politics<\/p>\n

NYT: \u201cBruce Springsteen clearly sees his job as engaging in a meaningful back and forth.\u201d<\/p>\n

MICK JAGGER: \u201cMy job in the live music world is for those people that come to have the best time \u2026 And you\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/PmNaTgLjs7<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cMy job in the live music world is for those people that come to have the best time they possibly can, for two hours or whatever it is, to forget all their problems and the problems of the world, and their mortgages and whatever. And they can have just the best time. It\u2019s similar, going to a sports event, really\u2026 you\u2019re not worrying about everything else. Those things are out of your mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo that\u2019s my job, is to make them have the best time\u2026 And you don\u2019t want to lecture them.\u201d<\/p>\n

This stands in contrast to artists like Bruce Springsteen, who has positioned himself as something of an anti-Trump poster boy.<\/p>\n

As BizPac Review previously reported<\/a>, \u201cThe Boss\u201d has repeatedly vowed to resist President Donald Trump\u2019s administration, attacking the president\u2019s policies while going to bat for Democrats like Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re feeling helpless, if you\u2019re feeling hopeless, if you\u2019re feeling betrayed, if you\u2019re feeling frustrated, if you\u2019re feeling angry, I understand. That\u2019s why we\u2019re here tonight. We needed to come to Washington and feel your strength and your hope and your faith.\u201d he said to a crowd gathered in D.C. \u201cSo many of our elected leaders have failed us that this American tragedy can only be stopped by the American people\u2014you. There is no one coming to save us; we\u2019ve got to do it ourselves. So join us and let\u2019s fight for the America that we love.\u201d<\/p>\n

X users reacted to Jagger\u2019s interview:<\/p>\n

Springsteen is nothing but a Democrat party shill, he supported Kamal Harris and her genocidal partnership with Israel.
\nBruce is 100% establishment, a sellout like Bono. Garbage human.<\/p>\n

Jagger is at least honest about giving it all a pass.<\/p>\n

I would think this is one secret to his success \u2013 enjoy the moment and help others to enjoy it too. He\u2019s clearly still having fun and he\u2019s in his 80s!<\/p>\n

Artists shouldn\u2019t endorse political parties and slogans. It alienates half their audience, reduces their work to propaganda, and turns it into social engineering for the establishment. They will always be suspect because they stopped being independent.<\/p>\n

Bravo Mick Jagger! You understand the true meaning of being an entertainer. No one wants to hear anyone\u2019s politics when they\u2019ve paid the high cost of ticket to hear the music.<\/p>\n
