Jagger Pokes Fun At Royals

By Associated Press

LONDON -- Mick Jagger has taken a good-natured swipe at
Britain's royal family for failing to award him any of the
nation's coveted royal honors.

While Paul McCartney and Elton John sport the knighted
title of "sir" and the Beatles were all declared members of
the Order of British Empire decades ago, Jagger remains
title-less -- an apparent irritation.

In a soon-to-be-released documentary previewed
Tuesday, Jagger, 58, jokes about the matter shortly before
an encounter with Prince Charles.

In an exaggerated upper-class English accent, he holds a
mock conversation with himself: "Is it true that you haven't
got anything at all? That is rather odd, isn't it."

"Being Mick" will air in Britain and the United States (on
ABC-TV) on Thanksgiving. It will coincide with the release
of Jagger's new solo album, "Goddess in the Doorway."

Bono, Lenny Kravitz, Pete Townshend and Wyclef Jean --
all contributors to the album -- appear in the documentary.

It also gives an inside look at Jagger's new life as a film
producer, capturing his struggles to find the right ending
to "Enigma" following several test screenings.

"I like to make intelligent films, but they are the most
difficult ones to make because people want explosions,"
Jagger says in the documentary. "Bombs ... are just not
my thing."
