I read somewhere that he was now living in France to avoid British taxes ...so maybe the Crown is trying to woo him back to Blighty . And I agree that Ray Davies was a helluva lot better song writer , and I dare say more of an influence on younger musicians and songwriters in the UK than Jagger .

Can you imagine in a million years Mick Jagger being able to write a song lyric as funny, trenchant and original as "Apeman?" Or "Low Budget," "Waterloo Sunset," "Dedicated Follower of Fashion," "Wish I Could Fly Like Superman," "Education," "Holiday Romance," "Village Green Preservation Society," "David Watts," etc., etc., etc.? Mick and the boys work their rut very well, but it hasn't resulted in a memorable new song since the early 1980s. If there were any relationship between money and talent, Ray Davies would not only have Mick's knighthood, he'd also have Mick's bank account.
