Keith Puts Mick to the Sword Over Knighthood
Keith Richards is not amused.
The legendary Rolling Stones' guitarist has flown into a rock and roll rage against Mick Jagger over the singer's decision to accept a knighthood, the ultimate nod from the British establishment.
Good for Keith. It's been a decade or two since Jagger jumped the shark IMHO, but this is just ridiculous from both ends. First of all, it's hard to see what Mick Jagger has done to deserve knighthood that a hundred other Brit rockers haven't done. At the least.
But more than that, why would Mick Jagger want the pomp and circumstance that comes with the title of Knight.
It just seems like people get to certain level of wealth and fame, and their needs become more and more extreme. Hey, being a Sir of the Rock World makes me a member of a very limited population, how cool, how trendy, I want it. It's just enough to make you sick. Nobility is a trait, not a title.
