See, I told y'all. Queenie's set her little old heart on knighting Keith the Riff. I can see it now ... Queenie gassing on going "blah blah, arise sir Keef", only to get bashed over the head with either Malcolm or Micawber to the accompaniment of a growl and a resounding "f f f f foxtrot o o o o o oscar". And Sir Mick holding his head in his hands in total embarrassment going "o no, I KNEW this wasn't a good idea" and shoutin' "Keef, Keef, leave her majesty alone, stop kickin' her".
Ha ha ,excellent !
I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .
There is a possibility that CW could be king by then of course......what? No, not Charlie Watts, that would be absurd.......Charlie Windsor, that wouldn't be absurd at all would it?!
that's why i like it.
And The Queen is bravely shouting "What the hell is going on?"!
"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"
Good one!

That's funny and spot on!
Just who the hell is this Simon Cowell character anyway, and what does he have in his background that makes him an authority on talent or music? Any accomplishments at all or is he just a big wind bag?
Well actually I claim that I am laughing & kidding about that but :
2011 in United States and 2012 in Europe for their 1962/2012 Tour ?
Oh my Gosh,I would be 50 years old then ,it means an outside chance for me to charm Mr Jagger ..that's too bad you know !
I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .
Well, I would fancy that version. 2012 in Europe, the Grand Finale in London, together with the 2012 London Olympics, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, the Stones' Golden Jubilee, and, last not least, also your Golden Jubilee, Sway. What a party! See them one mo' time and call it a day/year/era/half century!

Rolling Stones free concert in London - 2012

Err, well that's the idea according to a newspaper article in last night's London Evening Standard (not sure how well the 'shadow arts minister, Mr Vaisey' knows MJ though!!) -
Ageing British rock stars to take centre stage in 2012 celebrations
Louise Jury, Chief Arts Correspondent 21.10.09.
Free concerts in Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace by stars such as the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Led Zeppelin could form part of the cultural celebrations for the 2012 Olympics.
While their combined ages might run into several hundred years, shadow arts minister Ed Vaizey said the established acts should be part of the celebrations for the Cultural Olympiad programme for the London Games alongside a new generation of artists.
He added: ''I would like to see free concerts in Hyde Park, or Buckingham Palace - let's remember 2012 will be the Queen's Diamond jubilee - as well as up and down the country with iconic musicians as well as our exciting younger artists."
Mr Vaizey said it was important the cultural programme should not just involve the subsidised arts, such as theatre and opera, but also the popular and commercial sector. "For a successful Cultural Olympiad which engages with as many people as possible, we feel the full participation of the popular and commercial sector is vital," he said.
Speaking in London on the arts policy of a future Conservative government, Mr Vaizey admitted there would be "short-term pain" while they worked to get government finances back on track. "I hope that we can protect the front-line arts as much as possible," he said. Mr Vaizey pledged to maintain free admission to national museums and galleries.

and had a good old chuckle on the train home.
Mr Vaizey's dream line-up, ain't going to happen.
Simon Cowell/Lloyd Webber will be running the show, so you'll get a line up of:-
Leona Lewis, John Barrowman, Cheryl Cole,
Westlife, Take That, Katherine Jenkins and that old bore Elton John.

See, I told y'all. Queenie's set her little old heart on knighting Keith the Riff. I can see it now ... Queenie gassing on going "blah blah, arise sir Keef", only to get bashed over the head with either Malcolm or Micawber to the accompaniment of a growl and a resounding "f f f f foxtrot o o o o o oscar". And Sir Mick holding his head in his hands in total embarrassment going "o no, I KNEW this wasn't a good idea" and shoutin' "Keef, Keef, leave her majesty alone, stop kickin' her".

Giggle! Dunno why, but that post from paulywaul makes me see hillarious images when I close my eyes...
But I remember reading him -Keith - saying something like: There's no way I'm letting anyone from THAT FAMILY near me with a sword.
(Swords and knighthood in the UK - why can't they just put a hand on the new knight's shoulder?)
And about the free concert - that shadow culture minister should have a talk with the old 800 meter champ, Coe or something. He's got something planned for the Olympics, too. Involving the Stones, even.

Charlie Watts for King - what a brilliant idea. He'll bring back some style and dignity! Unfortunately we don't get to elect Kings. But in the 21st Century - inheriting a job - in a democracy... Doesn't sound too good in my ears. Although I happen to live in a monarchy myself, I find it a very undemocratic system.
Give me Rock Royalty! Nobody gets the title if they haven't deserved it for decades. Not many of them left.

Charlie should definitely be knighted. He deserves it, he would be appropriately grateful and could be counted to behave in a dignifed way.

Charlie will get knighted next. After I saw that photo of him with all those dogs on his bed (and at the horse show)...It is a no-brainer.
I believe Keef put a hit out on one of her men in Jamaica, so that will never happen.

It's time to resurrect this thread boys n' girls. Not wishing to blow my own trumpet or anything, but between us all, I for one have ALWAYS known that the boys will be doing absolutely sweet f**k all in the way of shows until 2012. It all hinges on 2012 kids, trust me on this. As I said earlier .........
<<< Queenie's set her little old heart on knighting Keith the Riff. I can see it now ...

And once that little ceremony is over and Queenie is bundled off to hospital after getting a crack on the head from a freshly knighted and pissed off Sir Keef, then we'll get our free show in Hyde Park.
See ? Simple ?
Now lets all go to sleep and forget about it until say .... mid 2012 !!

And I guess Roger Waters is out w/ Lloyd Webber in charge. I believe it was on Amused To Death, the Floyd bassist/lyricist had a dream sequence where a chandelier falls from the cieling on ALW at the piano and "smashes his f#@king fingers!!!", haha.

I BET they're at least thinkin' about it. Whether it'll happen or not ..... ???
