Like the other members of the Rolling Stones, Jagger is often subject to satire and/or ridicule for the fact that he is still performing rock music at a mature age, behaving in his usual energetic and dramatic way onstage.
Mick Jagger was knighted on 12 December 2003, for his "services to popular music" [1]. His fellow rolling stone Keith Richards was unimpressed, describing it as a "paltry honour". ("I thought it was ludicrous to take one of those gongs from the Establishment ... It's not what the Stones is about, is it? ... I don't want to step out on stage with someone wearing a f*****g coronet and sporting the old ermine. I told Mick, 'It's a f*****g paltry honour'.") [2]
