Jagger Critiques

Mick Jagger says “Ringing Hollow” is a love-letter-turned-lament that questions the American Dream, the Iran war, imperial overreach and election spending.
He reveals he consulted a Hollywood psychic about the apocalypse and that “Divine Intervention” warns billionaires fleeing to the sky.
“Covered in You” calls autocrats “a swarm of dirty rats” and labels the trillionaire as mogul Elon Musk.
