Guitarist Keith Richards has commented on the song ‘Ringing Hollow’ and expanded on the matter in a new interview with the Sunday Times, in which he labels the US as “a bit of a disappointment” considering the current political climate.<\/p>\n

According to Richards, ‘Ringing Hollow’ is a “nostalgic love affair with America, and (it being) a bit of a disappointment at the moment.”<\/p>\n

Richards, who has lived in Connecticut since 1985, added that he has felt the concern from people around him over financial strain: “All you hear is the moaning about the price of gas. This is where it hurts people.”<\/p>\n

In a separate interview, frontman Mick Jagger spoke to MOJO about the inspiration for ‘Ringing Hollow’. He said that while the song isn’t “only about” Trump’s America, it does center around “America generally and your experiences of it.”<\/p>\n

While none of the band members have said that the song is a direct criticism of Trump, they have clashed with him on numerous occasions – mostly about the unauthorised use of their songs at his rallies.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
