I like Mick and his music, but surely GB has more worthy people to bestow knighthood upon.

Danny La Rue, for Heaven's sake?

So, did ER II say "Arise, Lady La Rue"? (I know, only an OBE.)

If Ozzy get's knighted that's the end for me!!

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has been knighted at the Queen's birthday honours,

Oh god I feel soooo old.

[al-andalus]

How could they knight Mick and not Keith as well?

[HHFi]

Never cared that much for the Stones. My liking for them rises and falls based on the quality of the song I'm hearing at the moment because I just never liked them personally or was very impressed with their image or behavior, and found them pretty limited in their songwriting (98 percent of their songs are either "wanna do you, baby," "gonna dump you, baby," or "want you back so I can do you again, baby."

I alway preferred the Kinks. I'll listen to a weak album by the Kinks just because I love the Kinks, and Ray Davies is such an interesting and creative songwriter that even his lesser material is worth hearing at least once. Plus he's quintessentially English. All this is just to say that Ray Davies should have been knighted before Mick ever was (Ray even wrote a song about Queen Victoria! And it was a GREAT song!) But Ray probably hasn't paid nearly as much in taxes to the British crown, and I have a feeling that's what this knighthood is really all about: keeping Mick happy so he won't change his legal residence.

These knighthoods are a joke. Just look at the list of people who got one this turn of the lottery wheel. If this is what the monarchy feels it has to do to "stay relevant", then every one of them ought to just end this farce and abdicate.
