yeah yeah yeah. Always the same bullshit. I don't know why people still care about the english press.
Those "journalists" write down so many lies that should be arrested. For instance, they had invented some days ago that Mick was planning visit Luciana Gimenez here in S�o paulo. WHAT???????? WHO?????? I simply can't imagine something like this. It's ridiculous.
I don't understand how a great nation has a so cheap press. They should feel shame by some many lies.

Why does everyone write Mick off as being old hat, yet insist on holding him up to the sales of a new act?
Why is his album seen as a flop because he didn't outsell Kid Rock? Is it just because he promoted it- was he not supposed to try and market it?
McCartney and Dylan haven't exactly captured the charts with their new releases either- and they've basically released the same album as their last to a comfortable niche of fans.
Sure, Elton debuted well, but he's also got his little fanbase that eagerly awaits the same album they've been getting for the past 15 years.
Mick could've played it safe and released this as a Stones album, which would've automatically landed it in the Top 10. Or, he could've pandered to the Stones fanbase and sleepwalked his way (and these songs) through Wandering Spirit II.

"Mick ridiculed by English Tabloids Again..." and again and again.
during the last days i found a load of crap when searching the news, just check the following, all from the british press:
It's only wrinkly rock'n'roll, and we hate it! "Mick Jagger's latest solo album is dismal" (http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/article/0,,9005-2001544080,00.html)
No Satisfaction - His prime time TV 'rockumentary' looked like a comedy spoof and his new solo album flopped on its first day. So has the time come for Old Rubber Lips to fade away (http://www.observer.co.uk/focus/story/0,6903,605588,00.html )
MICK JAGGER IS SO WRINKLY HIS FACE LOOKS LIKE A - Would Mick sell more CDs if he sang songs that reflected his age? Like 19th Prostate Breakdown or Hey You, Get Off Of My Lawn. (http://www.people.co.uk/shtml/FEATURES/P14S2.shtml )
JUMPING JACK TRASH- And as this disappointing programme proved he's also incredibly dull. I'd imagined he must have a dynamic personality to make glamorous young women fall into bed with him. Now we know - it's just his dynamic bank balance. (http://www.people.co.uk/shtml/FEATURES/P21S7.shtml ) |

>McCartney and Dylan haven't exactly captured the charts with their new releases either- and they've basically released the same album as their last to a comfortable niche of fans.
Dont know how you can possibly say Dylans "Love and Theft" is "the same album" as "Time out of Mind"....its absolutely nothing like it at all,either in mood or in musical or lyrical terms. In fact its unlike anything I've heard by anyone in years. It doesnt even BELONG in any genre or category. One thing Dylan certainly isnt doing is resting on his laurels. As for its sales - from what i recall,it went top 3 in the US and something similar in the UK - it'll probably be his biggest commercial success in over two decades. the only thing it will probably have in common with "Time out of mind" will be the Grammies..!

more bullcrap, now canadian crap
Gimme shelter in Canada, pleads Mick
By JOHN MACLACHLAN GRAY
Wednesday, November 28, 2001 � Page R1
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need.
Mick Jagger/Keith Richards
As often occurs with your national newspaper, the Mick Jagger knighthood controversy has struck an urgent chord with the Canadian public. As usual in a crisis, Ottawa responded swiftly and decisively: While Let's Spend the Night Together blared over the House speakers, our Prime Minister conferred upon the laurels-deprived Briton honorary Canadian citizenship and a seat in the Senate.
Having watched sales of his Goddess in the Doorway CD barely break the Top 100, and with vague memories of Margaret Trudeau, Jagger accepted the honour with "vericundity and amour propre."
Wouldn't you know, before the great man could take his seat in Ottawa (between Senator Pat Carney and Senator Anne Cools), Whitehall initiated a formal objection, citing an obscure doctrine to the effect that an Englishman ought not accept unearned income from a foreign government. Thereafter, Mr. Jagger announced his intention to renounce his British citizenship, "with compunction but not amaritude."
Invited to speak in London by the Sexy Beast Institute (a provocative think tank whose Fellows include Tom Jones and Diana Dors), Senator Jagger reflected upon his decision in his address, entitled: Reflections of a Rodent Upon Deserting a Sinking Ship:
"Ladies and Gentlemen. From the age of 8, when I first experienced my own devastating sexual attractiveness, I dreamt of an England where the sexiest Britons would not feel irresistibly drawn to foreign lands. In this view, I was not unicameral -- indeed, most Britons were frustrated by our country's lack of sexual allure.
"Most Britons today regret, as I do, that England is, compared with other G-7 countries, a St. Michaels underwear kind of place. We regret that, like British cuisine, British buttocks attract no interest outside this country. Being a more civilized but less sexually vigorous country than the United States in my judgment fails to give satisfaction to most Britons. Defining British genitalia in subtle terms of what they are not is not a compelling rallying cry.
"I have always dissented from those who claim Britain is more humane than the United States because it is more cute and less sexy. I am one of those who believe Britons can be fully competitive as international sex symbols, and as robust sexual partners.
"The Rolling Stones offered an alternative: an end to the pre-emptive cuteness of the Beatles, and steady progress toward a sexual climate that was less moralistic than the United States. Yet we included in this compassion and generosity to unattractive people. We proposed an emphasis on the lips and hips, without shortchanging other organs. We called for more leather and steel, to increase the breadth and scope of British sexual practice, which had suffered steady devaluation since the exit of our beloved dominatrix, Dame Thatcher.
"Who cannot recall with pride an era when the Prime Minister of Britain was described by Fran�ois Mitterand, the Socialist Frenchman, as having 'the eyes of Caligula and the lips of Marilyn Monroe?'
"To quote myself at that time, 'When the whip came down, we were running this town.'
"Surely the lesson of the Thatcher experience was that Britain can possess ya-yas to envy (envy being the ultimate proof of competitiveness); that, by skillfully combining British public-school discipline with American implants, England can have the world under her thumb.
"And yet, time has not been on our side. Who does not cringe with embarrassment over a leader who has been described as William Clinton in wool skivvies -- with teeth but no lips, brains but no hips.
"Decades ago, Britons witnessed the flight of Cary Grant, Joan Collins, Pierce Brosnan and Michael Caine, a devastating drain of the national libido. Since then, thousands of British sex symbols have continued to drift across the Atlantic, creating an oversexed America and a gelded Britain. It is one thing to lament the brain drain, but let us not forget the groin pull, self-inflicted, from which our country continues to suffer.
"Once, the Rolling Stones believed Britain could evolve into a more spontaneous, individualistic, groovy society than it had been. Unfortunately, while we made significant progress in this principled quest, my associates and I became concerned that it would be imprudent not to reduce our exposure to British taxes and British weather.
"Today, Britain is consistently seen, in Mustique and southern France, as not the most desirable place to get laid. My native country has become, not an aphrodisiac, nor even an amenable mistress, but a wife. British citizenship has become an impediment to progress in other, more sensuous jurisdictions.
Renouncing my citizenship was much more than a ticket to the Canadian Senate. It was the last and most consistent sexual act I could manage at my age. My renunciation was, and was intended to be, an act of patriotism, a cri de coeur, the eschatological gesture of dissent I described 35 years ago when I said: 'I Can't Get No Satisfaction.'
"If I can be proved wrong -- by which I mean when the people of Britain treat me with the slavering obsequiousness to which I have become habituated -- I will be happy to recommence my citizenship.
"I will be your saviour, steadfast and true. I will come to your emotional rescue."
