WATTS BACKS RICHARDS' DISGUST AT JAGGER KNIGHTHOOD
ROLLING STONES drummer CHARLIE WATTS has added his voice of disapproval to singer SIR MICK JAGGER's acceptance of a knighthood - just days after guitarist KEITH RICHARDS labelled the honour "ludicrous".
Although Richards has condemned Jagger's royal status in public, Watts has expressed his fury to close friends of the group - saying it contradicts the band's anti-establishment roots.
An insider tells Britain's THE SUN tabloid, "Charlie thinks it's ridiculous that Mick has accepted the honour. He knows Mick is a social climber and the knighthood is what he has always wanted but he reckons it makes the band look establishment-friendly.
"Charlie's views are known within the inner circle for the moment, at least. Mick knows how he feels."

I get the impression that this will break-up the group. |

If DW didn't break 'em up, this won't either. |

I seriously doubt that Charlie would ever make his feelings public on this matter. Too much class for that. |

Oh...don't tell Maxlugar(RIP) that... |
|

Maxy died? Died? |

As far as posting here, he is deceased...but I am sure you can find him trolling on some "World Politics Message Board". |

Gotta link? |

And why "trolling"? Do you dislike him? |

Is this true? If the Stones were THAT anti-establishment they'd've become priests of some new religion. Didn't anyone ever tell you that you can't have it BOTH ways? Rock n Roll was always the "establishments" way of keeping the kids from looking beyond the next day. It backfired. |

Rock & roll threatened them back in the late 60s but it's been a pussycat the past few decades. |

Friends? The kind of friends who run to tell the story to the Sun? Yeah, right. I don't know if they'll stay friends very long! |

Good point, MW! Why can't these so-called friends keep their traps shut? Or is it a ploy by M. Watts to get the message out? Hmm... |

this is from the sun so probably neither charlie or "his friends" said that |
|

| glencar |
Is the Sun that leftish tabloid? |
|

| Monkey Woman |
Leftist? LOL!  |
|

| glencar |
Must be thinking of the Mirror. |

Yeah. I think Charlie wouldn't take sides publically in any newspaper. Who really cares anyway? Let Mick have it. The last I checked we've got bigger fish to fry. |
|

| Monkey Woman |
Yeah, like for instance a new album. Please concentrate on that one, boys!  |

Mick must do what he likes, so do the others. So does the Queen apparently as she'll not be hitting our dear Mick this Friday I heard, so Charles may do it. Queen got fed up with Mick's ego it seems .
BTW: DW is a very good album Josh, you're just hoping to get Maxy back talking that way!
