Welcome to Music Nation 365, where we bring you the latest and most exciting updates from the world of music! Today, we have a juicy piece of news straight from the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival involving none other than Rolling Stones frontman, Mick Jagger, and Louisiana Governor, Jeff Landry.
During the Rolling Stones’ electrifying performance at the festival, Mick Jagger didn’t hold back as he took a playful jab at conservative Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry. In front of thousands of festival attendees, Jagger slyly remarked, “We’re a welcoming crowd, aren’t we? I hope Mr. Landry is enjoying the show. He’s real inclusive, you know. He’s trying to take us back to the Stone Age.”
Jeff Landry, who clinched Louisiana’s gubernatorial race with the support of former President Trump, has been a vocal advocate for various conservative legislations such as strict abortion bans, harsher prison sentences, and restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors. In a witty response to Jagger’s comments, Landry quipped, “You can’t always get what you want,” referencing a classic Rolling Stones’ song. He even added, “The only person who might remember the Stone Age is @MickJagger.”
The friendly banter continued as Landry concluded his dig with a warm message, writing, “Love you buddy, you’re always welcome in Louisiana!” accompanied by the hashtag #LoveMyCountryMusic. While Jagger has yet to respond, his fans were quick to defend him on social media, with one user stating, “That’s Sir Mick Jagger to you Jeffy,” highlighting the rock legend’s esteemed status.
However, not everyone was critical of Governor Landry’s response, with one attendee at Jazz Fest praising him for his actions. The festival is ongoing throughout the weekend, culminating on Sunday with a lineup of incredible performances.
