It must be tough to remain a rock and roll rebel when you are a knight of the realm, a member of the MCC and an ageing playboy of international repute.

But 62-year-old Sir Mick Jagger refuses to let the years, or his reputed £180 million fortune, get in the way of taking on the politically fashionable role of Bush-basher and scourge of the American Right.

It's nothing to do with not giving a shit. Some lobby people who matter, work at getting like minded people to register to vote, spend many weeks working to get whom they consider the right people elected to office, and being certain that people hold them accountable afterwards.

But um... posting links on a hidden forum might help too.

Like Michael Moore - who gives a hoot what he or Barbara Striesand or the rest of 'em think?

I'll give to Live 8 (Whose ideas I support in principal) when Bono and Sir Bob hold Anti-corruption concerts in Nigeria, Zimbabwe, etc, etc.....
