Call me Sir Michael
Friday, December 12, 2003 Posted: 10:31 AM EST (1531 GMT)
LONDON, England (CNN) -- Rolling Stone Mick Jagger, newly knighted at Buckingham Palace, says he likes the idea of being called "Sir Michael" from now on.
"I suppose people will call me 'Sir Mick' but 'Sir Michael' has a nice ring to it," he said after receiving the honor Friday.
Jagger was announced by Master of the Royal Household Vice Admiral Tom Blackburn as "Sir Michael Jagger" receiving the accolade of knighthood "for services to popular music."
The knighthood was bestowed by a light sword touch on each shoulder from Prince Charles, standing in for his mother Queen Elizabeth II, who is in hospital for knee surgery.
There were no hordes of screaming fans, just the prince in the naval uniform of an admiral waiting to congratulate him. Jagger, 60, was watched by his 92-year-old father Joe, and daughters Karis, 32, and Elizabeth, 19.
Rock music's new knight made a respectful bow of the head and finished the royal encounter with a handshake as from a minstrels' gallery, a military band played a selection of tunes outside the Stones' repertoire -- Handel's Water Music and Schubert's D Minor Quartet.
After the ceremony Jagger played down the occasion and said fellow band member Keith Richards, who had publicly criticized his fellow group member for "selling out" by accepting the honor, was jealous of his award.
Wearing a black suit rather than the traditional top hat and tails, Jagger told the UK's Press Association: "It's very nice to have honors given to you as long as you don't take it all too seriously.
"You should wear them lightly and not get carried away with your own self-importance."
On Richards, the new Sir Michael said: "I think he would probably like to get the same honor himself.
"It's like being given an ice cream -- one gets one and they all want one. It's nothing new. Keith likes to make a fuss." |

Well, I think it's time to move on. Keith should drop it. Although it is indeed a paltry honor, it's done & there's no sense bawling about it anymore. |

Let's hope they won't get to the "brawling" stage! |

| doo doo doo Dude |
"It is a bit like a bawling child who hasn't got an ice cream"
Saw that clip on the news and was cracking up since Mick was clearly teasing Keith (and the media) for making such a stink. There was definitly no malice in the comment, he had a big-ass grin on his face and I'm sure Keith will get a good chuckle as well. a classic Glimmer Twin moment. |

Isn't Keith going to be even more livid regarding MJ's remark? Mick must be really pissed at Keith as he almost never publicly takes a shot at him. I don't think this is a good omen for any upcoming tours/albums.
JB, just one thing here:
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
They ain't stopping. Albums, yes, but tours, no fucking way. |

Plus Mick was apparently laughing when he said it. This whole misadventure has been great publicity for the Glimmers. |

I'm very sad because you're not a rock'n roll man. It's a shame, you're a silly boy. Keith is right, another a mistake! |

Cheer up, dude!

The Stones might "play" rock n roll, mate but they havent "been" rock n roll for over 30 years - wake up and smell the coffee.
For all the whining and bitching about this, no one seems to care for what his family - and in particular his 92 year old dad - might think of the honour. I'm sure he's delighted. He looks it. That to me is more important than Keith's hypocritical whining and all this "he's sold out" nonsense. I hope they all enjoyed their day out.
Its ok, everyone. The world didnt stop revolving on it's axis after all... |

You'd be the mistress of emoticons but even that's incorrect. Joey is the master. |
