Jagger knighthood: Richards rages

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Keith Richards is not amused.
The legendary Rolling Stones' guitarist has flown into a rock and roll rage against Mick Jagger over the singer's decision to accept a knighthood, the ultimate nod from the British establishment.

"I don't want to step out onstage with someone wearing a coronet and sporting the old ermine," Richards told British music magazine "Uncut" in an expletive-rich interview.

"I told Mick it's a paltry honor ... It's not what the Stones is about, is it?"

The Stones, still rocking after 40 years, made their names with crunching rock classics including "Satisfaction," "Street Fighting Man" and "Brown Sugar."

A 1967 Stones' album was entitled "Their Satanic Majesties Request."

Despite his near spotless rebel credentials, Jagger, 60, is scheduled to become "Sir Mick" at a Buckingham Palace ceremony on December 12.

He will join British musicians Paul McCartney and Elton John who have already been knighted by Queen Elizabeth with a touch of the sword.

Richards' own chances of arising Sir Keith, already thought slim after 59 years of hard living, will have receded even further.

Me either. Especially since he's been an animated corpse since 1969.

No one has bothered to tell him he died. The dude has just kept on going.

He should be kissing Mick's ass. Without him there's no way he'd have gotten the kind of tail he has in the last 30 years. Anyone can stand there like a dead body, cig hanging out of his mouth and strumming a guitar...

Sure, now it is. Back in the 60's and 70's tho there were few guitarists who could top Keef.
