The ‘Bitch’ Is Back In Brussels For The Rolling Stones

by Paul Cashmere on July 12, 2022

The Rolling Stones ‘Sticky Fingers’ classic ‘Bitch’ made its first appearance since 2019 at a Stones gig in Brussels.

‘Bitch’ was last played twice in 2019 on the Stones No Filter tour of the USA. It was also played twice in 2018 in Warsaw, Poland and Twickenham, UK.

It was played once each in 2017 and 2016 in Dusseldorf, Germany and São Paulo, Brazil.

‘Bitch’ was more frequent in 2014 and 2015. Brisbane, Sydney and Perth had a Bitch session on the 14 on Fire tour, as did shows in Japan and France. It was also played 13 times on the Zip Code North American tour of 2015.

With The Rolling Stones bowing to the pressure of the extremist Wokes, the removal of ‘Brown Sugar’ from the setlist had left the classic ‘Sticky Fingers’ album totally misrepresented in a Stones playlist.

It is ironic that The Stones are no longer playing ‘Brown Sugar’, a song Mick Jagger wrote in Australia while filming Ned Kelly, because the Woke brigade says it glorifies ‘slavery, rape, torture and pedophilia’.

However ‘Bitch’ with the lyrics “Yeah, you got to mix it, child, you got to fix
It must be love, it’s a bitch”, ‘Midnight Rambler’ with the words “I’m called the hit-and-run raper in anger
The knife-sharpened tippie-toe
Or just the shoot ’em dead, brainbell jangler
You know, the one you never seen before” and ‘Gimme Shelter’ with “Rape, murder!
It’s just a shot away” seem to have slipped past the censor.
