Rolling Stones retire classic song 'Brown Sugar' following backlash
Fox News
The Rolling Stones retired one of their most popular rock songs due to lyrics that depict the horrors of slavery.
"You picked up on that, huh?," Keith Richards, 77, responded to the LA Times when asked if the Stones had cut the second-most-performed tune in their catalog amid a climate of heightened cultural sensitivity.
"I don’t know. 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."
