Sir Mick ???? As in Jagger? The Brits are certainly loose with their titles. Paul was OK. But Mick? The dude who blew up thirty-foot penises on stage? Did Bette Midler and David Bowie both (or vice versa, they aren't talking). His satanic majesty himself - now a knight of the british empire? Oh yeah, he's really gonna' get out there on a horse and protect the country. Which reminds me of that time Keith Richards had himself hooked up to a dialysis machine. Couldn't get into the US unless he could pass the drug test. So being a rich dude, he just had all his blood replaced right before getting on the plane.

I'll bet he launched a campaign to get knighted only because Paul was. The Beatles and Stones were always rivals. Paul gets to be a knight? What can he do that I can't? Think I'll go have a few words with the queen about this...
