Rolling Stones’ frontman Mick Jagger ignited a small feud between himself and the Louisiana governor on Thursday while performing in the state.
The 80-year-old British singer and his band performed at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival to a sold-out show. After finishing the song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” Jagger called out Gov. Jeff Landry by name.
“We’re a welcoming crowd, aren’t we?” Jagger asked. “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.”

Shortly after the comment, the Republican governor responded on social media, appearing to mock the singer as well.
“You can’t always get what you want,” he posted on X. “The only person who might remember the Stone Age is Mick Jagger. Love you buddy, you’re always welcome in Louisiana! #LoveMyCountryMusic.”
