Mick Jagger has teamed up with ex-Nirvana and current Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl to release \u2018Easy Sleazy\u2019. In 3:46 seconds, it goes from talking about sadness and despair to hope, rails at lockdowns, and has a few confusing lines about Bill Gates and the \u2018Deep State\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>

The lyrics are not brilliantly written, as if they were winging it, but it should grab your attention.\u00a0<\/p>

The first half of the tune talks about things like being stuck at home, learning to cook, and cancelled tours, which is probably a direct reference to what the Rolling Stoner felt at the beginning, to a more sarcastic approach near the end of the song mentioning the \u201cearth is flat,\u201d.<\/p>

\u201cBill Gates in my bloodstream \u2026 mind control.\u201d He\u2019s picking up on the conspiracy theory clickbait that that often gets lumped in unfairly with those who might reasonably oppose lockdowns and other restrictions on liberties.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

<\/ins>Were it not for the musicianship and guitar playing of Dave Grohl, the song wouldn\u2019t be worth listening to. It\u2019s just sort of thrown together.<\/p>

There is a basic chord structure and that\u2019s it; nothing special other than it was put out by someone who\u2019s worth a half a billion dollars and is bored locked in his home.\u00a0<\/p>

There is one line worth paying attention to from Mick, however, \u201cYou gotta pay Peter if you\u2019re paying Paul.\u201d<\/p>

He isn\u2019t known for his libertarian views, but it\u2019s hard to take it any other way. Is this Mick Jagger\u2019s way of saying that he\u2019s sick of paying taxes for people to sit at home and do nothing? Only he really knows.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Having referenced being locked up inside \u201cprison walls\u201d for more than a year, couldn\u2019t the lyrics have been fine tuned just a bit?<\/p>

\u201cClean the kitchen sink\u201d, \u201cTikTok stupid dance, took a Samba class\u201d are examples of lyrics a 10-year-old could write as well.\u00a0<\/p>

As a fan of the Rolling Stones music for decades; this song though, would have a ratio of 2000 to 1 in the dislikes to likes columns if it were not written by and performed by Mick Jagger and Dave Grohl.<\/p>

I was asked to review this song because its relevant to our time, and this is my conclusion. I know I\u2019ll get backlash for it, but hey, I don\u2019t care.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
