Mick Jagger Shouts Out Lori Lightfoot, Jabs at Ed Burke During Rolling Stones Show
Before a sold-out crowd of around 60,000 at the Chicago Bears home stadium, the band's finger-wagging frontman opened with "Street Fighting Man," running from the stage in the end zone area and down a narrow stage jutting into the crowd on what is normally the 30-yard line of the football field.
Jagger went out of his way to pay homage to Chicago, a home of the blues and long considered an artistic inspiration by the band. He tipped a hat to the Chicago blues with the edgy "Midnight Rambler," which featured Jagger himself on harmonica.
"We love Chicago so much we decided to start the tour here instead of Miami," Jagger said, to cheers from the crowd. He also gave a shout out to the new mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot.
"I want to welcome Lori Lightfoot," he told the sold-out crowd. "I'm sorry Ed Burke couldn't make it tonight."

For those who don't know ed burke is a nemesis of Mayor Lightfoot's who has been in city council for 50 years and is probably going to federal prison soon. he had a lot of power for decades regarding finances in Chicago. he messed stuff up royally in a really racist way.
