Is There Nothing Sacred? Sir Mick? Sir Rolling? Sir Stone

Yes. yes. I know. Jagger is not the only British R&R celebrity to be knighted and, considering how quickly others were given the title it may have been a long time in coming but....

I mean.... H'es a ROLLING STONE! He's only supposed to be kicking up one of those "boojeee wooojeee broohahas" not looking at others as common folk and maybe even vying for a life peerage or something.

Is there nothing sacred?

@ steel: by "one", do you mean "a shotgun discharge to the head". That guy is at the very top of my hit-list

Eh...knighthood isn't what it use to be. But what can you do.

@RILMS,

I was thinking more along the lines of the Mick NOT accepting the knighthood but... I guess that's asking a lot of the guy.

It was easy enough, for me at least, to accept that a pop music guy like McCartney would work his way into the beknighted circle but, I don't know, I always held the Stones quartet in higher esteem, so to speak.

So I was disappionted. I guess I'm too old a fashioned about rock and roll.

There's nothing sacred when a twonk like that is given the honour from the Queen and I have to settle for being given it from Wassup.

But seriously, if he had accomplished something for their nation give it to him. However, as far as I can tell, he's only been famous. Wooooh roll out the red carpets, he's famous and deserves recognition for it, oh that's right he's already got plenty of recognition!

Already knowing that your taste in R&R is extremely limited, I don't know what to tell ya. Mick is a great stage presence and performer. The Stones were for the longest time the ONLY band worth watching live no matter how many times you may have seen them already. So I don't dispute whether he deserved the knighthood. I just am disappointed to see that he too has succumbed to it.

Have you ever seen Gahan Wilson's "Is nothing sacred" cartoon? It kind of sums up how I feel about this.

Mick is a great stage presence and performer.

I don't deny that. He might very well be just that, but how the ****ing hell does that accomplishment warrant him a knighting

When I think of those ceremonies I used to ascribe it to people who made an impact on global affairs, saved peoples' lives or killed enough of the enemy to be too scared NOT to give it to him!

Rockstars, oh yeah, they made great strides to save people from good hearing, they fell entire generations with their music, they had an impact on global record label conglomerates!!! Sir Rockstar I salute thee!!

Bring me the sword, and it's not going to be tapping your shoulders.
