Mick Jagger: Foreign Policy expert
I grew up listening to the Stones. As the youngest brother in a family of five, I was exposed to classic rock at an early age and became a big fan of the Stones. I used to pester my brother all the time, saying "Play I Can't Get No, play I Can't Get No" day and night. They're still one of my favorite music groups, and think they far outshine their English brethren the Beatles.
But I listen to the Stones for great music, not political commentary. But it looks like Sir Mick has a new album entitiled "Neocon" which features a Bush-bashing title track.
Whatever.
At this point pop icons and their political harangues are wonderful sources of amusement. But I absolutely love the Telgraph's take on the matter:

At last someone with real authority has said it: America's senior policy makers are risibly out of touch. They have no idea how the younger generation lives. Cushioned from the stark realities of life by their vast wealth and insuperable self-esteem, they travel the world in private jets, staying in luxury hotels and socialising only with flatterers and hangers-on.
Thank goodness we have rock stars such as Sir Mick to administer a much-needed "reality check".
