Michael Philip Jagger was born in Dartford, Kent on 26th July 1943. When he was 4 he met Keith Richards until they went into secondary schools and lost touch. But one day in 1960 they accidentally met on the Dartford train line and both realised that they had an interest in rock n roll combined with blues. Between 1960-1962 The Rolling Stones formed. It comprised of Mick on lead vocal and harmonica, Keith Richards on guitar, Bill Wyman on bass, Charlie Watts on drums and Brian Jones on guitar. Link
Join me below as the UK commemorates this grand event......
Mick Jagger turns 65 on July 26, 2008. Tomorrow, he will officially be a senior citizen and enter his golden years. Despite Jagger's personal fortune of £225million or so, this historic ocassion will make him a pensioner of the state; and as such, he will receive entitlement to :
* a basic state pension
* free bus travel
* free prescriptions
* help with home insulation through his gas and electricity provider
* free dental treatment
* free sight tests and vouchers towards the cost of glasses or contact lenses
* council tax benefits
* winter fuel payments and child tax credits
Plus he can claim social fund payments to help him with small one-off expenses such as buying a cooker or bedding, or funeral costs --snip--
And anyway the rubber-lipped figurehead for 1960s rebellion, who has also graced the cover of Saga magazine, is showing no sign of Fading Away in his twilight years.
And who can blame him? His band is as popular as ever, he is dating the jaw-droppingly stunning L’WREN SCOTT . . . and in five years’ time he will be entitled to free roof insulation.
If other countries can do all of this, why in the hell can't we even have health care for our kids?
