Mick Jagger

[ls317]

Mick Jagger speaks out against the president and the current US regime...On his new CD...Look what happened to reappear about Mick

He is now a knight of the realm and respected elder statesman of pop but to Scotland Yard's finest 36 years ago, Mick Jagger was a drug-addled miscreant who represented the "dregs of society".

This was the assessment of the millionaire Rolling Stone delivered by a senior Metropolitan Police officer after Jagger claimed he had been stitched up by a corrupt detective during an infamous drugs raid on his London home in 1969.

1. 1969? Gee...wonder what Dubya was doing that year?

Oh, wait--I'll bet he was doing a lot of illegal drugs while daddy covered for him...and there just might have been a corrupt detective or two in there somewhere. Talk about "dregs of society"!

3. They got the year wrong

It was '67, not '69.

4. Two different events

1967 was at Richards' country house, and they were (initially) imprisoned - from the Wikipedia article.

1969 was at Jagger's London flat, and he was fined for cannabis posession. http://talkleft.com/new_archives/005396.html

You don't think Jagger would just have one drugs bust, do you? What kind of street cred is that?

6. hey, you're right. I thought I knew their history better than that

can't imagine what else could've happened to the Stones in '69 that could possibly overshadow a drug bust... think think think...
