Mick Jagger: what was it all for?

Well, to be honest although I have every Led Zeppelin album up to Coda I must have lost the only couple of Stones albums I ever bought. Before I started working my pocket money was meagre and I couldn’t risk buying an album without being sure I would love every track. I was so poor that I couldn’t even relate to acid wash jeans. I could never be a goth either because I have freckles. Oh well.

About Mick Jagger: I think the value of a good rebel is ever increasing. I don’t even mind Eminem’s misogeny especially after I heard about the dozens game which seems to have been invented by African Americans to teach people how to cope with verbal abuse without cracking. You don’t seem to hear much about that when Eminem’s lyrics are discussed which they constantly are. Rather than just keeping silent though I love a chance for verbal retaliation. All women should.

There just seems to be a definite whiff of fascism in the air these days, that’s all. Generation x, y and z or whatever they’re called seem so fanatical (almost scarily so) in their beliefs. It’s like the left has gone so far in that direction that it’s become the right. Rebels aren’t supposed to be captured by the ruling government and that’s what seems to have happened in Mick Jagger’s case.

If anyone reads this thank you very much. It’s way too long. If everyone confined themselves to one paragraph a post the amount of words actually read would probably sky rocket. Do you at least agree with that?

Man, that was beautiful

That part o’ Steve Wright’s post is very sig-worthy. Gorgeous stuff. (Just confinin’ myself to G.Nome’s requirement of a one-paragraph post for readability. Hope it meets with her approval.)

This is great, such a giggle of a thread (thanks woolly for pointing it out).

Only problem now is to explain to my boss why I am sitting here laughing :smiley:

Way to go Wolfie you 'th bomb :wink:

Speaking from across the pond, this Yank doesn’t think being knighted is such an affront to social equity in any event. OK, so now Mick Jagger gets to call himself Sir Mick if he wants, but it’s not like it’s medieval times and he’s going to be given a castle and a gaggle of oppressed peasantry to work his fields. Oh wait, he could easily have that if he wants in any case, but not because he’s been knighted.

Isn’t being knighted these days really just a recognition of achievement, like getting a medal?
