Jagger reveals rules of the road

Mick Jagger reveals rules of the road
By SIMON ROTHSTEIN
The Sun
Published: 30 Mar 2009

MICK JAGGER has revealed the two golden rules of being on tour with THE ROLLING STONES.
The 65-year-old singer tells all about support acts: “Rule one – you don’t play on the snooker table unless you’ve been asked.

“And, secondly, you never, ever, take the shepherd’s pie unless KEITH RICHARDS’ broken the crust first.”

Although the snooker table often remains untouched, many have fallen foul of nibbling the pie.

In his new autobiography Demons And Cocktails, former STEREOPHONICS star STUART CABLE explains how his fondness for the dish almost brought a tour to a complete stop.

The Welsh drummer, 38, admitted: “We were backstage when I saw the pie.

“Like an excited 10-year-old at Christmas and I whacked several hefty spoonfuls onto my plate.”

At that point Mick and RONNIE WOOD walked in and explained the rules, but Stuart thought they were joking - until the Stereophonics’ manager demanded he take it back to get re-crusted.

Stuart continues: “Luckily, when I got to catering I knew the waitress. She took it back and shook her head slowly and muttered: ‘Don’t you know the rules?’

“But she soon went to work on it and re-laid the potato topping making it as good as new, even if it was a little thinner.

“Major world disaster averted.”

In another recent book, the Stones ex-tour manager explained what would happen if anyone messed with Keith’s pies.

NICK COWAN claimed that one occasion Keith, 65, was sent into an “apoplectic, vodka-fuelled rage” after seeing his dish had been nibbled before a gig and fired the group's head of security and tour manager over it.

Both were re-instated when it was realised the tour couldn’t continue without them.

Evidently Brian ate Keith's piece of chicken before a show. Keith was livid. Punched Brian good. Right before the show. Ouch.

After all this time, with all the stupid run-ins with people busting the crust, and with all their ridiculous amounts of $$$$$$$, you'd think they'd just have one Shepards Pie specifically reserved "Just For Keith" and few other pies for the rest of the crew and guests.

Seriously... they can only afford to make one friggin pie???

these stories are embarrassing coming from a band that rakes in over $300 million a tour

they can start splurging for 2 shepards pies

when we're on the road, feej always insists on being the first one to cut into the Tbone.

he also insists on having the bottom bunk. bastard. he knows i'm afraid of heights.

The snooker rule is especially gay.

and by gay, I mean really faggoty.

so if no one is playing snooker and you're not asked to play you get to just sit there and stare at the table??

is this rule for their children or actually for their guests???

gee, sounds like great fun. Roll Eyes

Backstage at a Yo Yo Ma concert is probably more lively.

On your list of things to never, ever do

BY STAN FINGER
The Wichita Eagle
Mon, Mar. 30, 2009

WICHITA - On your list of things to never, ever do, add this one: Using a lighter to check if your fuel tank is empty.

A 44-year-old man from Fort Worth stuck a lighter into the neck of his dump truck's fuel tank Sunday night to confirm that's why the engine died, authorities said.

Diesel fuel vapors in the tank ignited, causing a flash fire that burned his face and hands, Wichita Fire Department Lt. Stuart Bevis said. The incident happened on the Kansas Turnpike in south Wichita shortly after 9:30 p.m, he said.

The man walked to a convenience store at 2750 S. Oliver to report his injury and was transported to the burn unit of Via Christi Regional Medical Center-St. Francis Campus.

He is in good condition today, a hospital spokeswoman said.

Shit!
