Man I missed that I guest my free Showtime is up. I tell you what this show on ESPN about the Bulls is wonderful.

Thanks for the tip - searching Earls Court photos.

This guy playing Mick looks like a losing hand.

They always get loopy buggers to play Mick, even the guy Mick chose himself in the James Brown biopic.

Going by the fact that he's wearing 1976 stage clothes, this might be one of them

The younger guy behind her in the dark jacket is her then toy-boy Roddy Llewellyn.  Their relationship was a tabloid sensation at the time as he was about 15-16 years younger than her and she was still officially married

Almost certainly nonsense but it makes for a good tabloid story. There's no indication she's ever done that with anyone else, so its insane that Mick Jagger of all people would be singled out.

The Queen only gives final approval to honours. The recipients are recommended by the public or government departments and are then selected by the Prime Minister or Secretary of State. You can see in the 'Being Mick' documentary that he seemed almost desperate to get the honour - he's even dropping a none too subtle hint to Prince Charles at one point!  If anyone was responsible for it, it was probably Tony Blair, who had an obsession with making the honours system more 'populist' by rewarding more and more entertainers and sports figures, although I agree that his friendship with Margaret did him no harm. 

He'd have got it eventually anyway. Every major artist eventually gets offered these days. But what maybe went against him for a while is that the honour is usually linked to services to charity.  Elton and Macca for example were knighted for their services to music and charitable causes. Mick had no real track record for that, so as I recall (and I stand to be corrected on this) I think he was the first rock 'knight' to get the honour purely for 'services to music'.

Mick himself postponed the investiture several times because (by his own admission) every date he was given coincided with a period where he was on the road with the Stones on the 'Licks' tour.

By December 2003 (18 months after he was awarded it) when he did receive the knighthood, it had become commonplace for Prince Charles to carry out the ceremony as he had gradually been taking on more of his mother's duties. In recent years, Prince William has done many of them as well.
