Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger, Governor Jeff Landry trade barbs at Jazz Fest in New Orleans

Rolling Stones' legendary frontman Mick Jagger took a swipe at Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry Thursday night during the rock 'n' roll group's set at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, and the governor barked back on social media.

After singing the hit "You can't always get what you want," Jagger said: "We're an inclusive group. We like to include everyone. The governor is here, and we'd like to include him, even though he's trying to take us back to the Stone Age."

Landry, a conservative Republican, quickly responded with a good-natured quip on his X campaign account, taking a swipe at the 80-year-old singer's age.

"You can’t always get what you want," the governor posted on X. "The only person who might remember the Stone Age is @MickJagger. Love you buddy, you’re always welcome in Louisiana! #LoveMyCountryMusic."
