ROCK AND ROLL!!!
"SIR MICK: [Rod Dreher] I think Mick Jagger's knighthood for services to music is a fabulous idea. The Rolling Stones haven't made an album since Tattoo You (1981, if memory serves) worth listening to, but their run in the late Sixties and early Seventies, a period that included Let It Bleed, Beggar's Banquet, Sticky Fingers, and their peerless masterpiece Exile on Main Street , grants them rock and roll immortality. To hell with those who whinge about Jagger not being a proper role model for a knight; the "Sir" business is about Mick's artistic contribution, for one thing, and for another: Sir Elton John. I have only two complaints: 1) that the Beatles' Paul McCartney was knighted before Mick Jagger, inasmuch as the Rolling Stones were the better band, and 2) that Keef didn't get a knighthood too."
