Bush to Jagger: Gimme Shelter
It’s just a shot away. No I don’t mean to advocate assassinating the president, just quoting one of my favorite Rolling Stones’ songs in honor of Mick Jagger not bowing to the whims of Bush Corp:
PRESIDENT George Bush can’t get no satisfaction — after Mick Jagger grabbed his hotel room.
The Rolling Stone splashed out £3,600 a night for the suite days before the US leader tried to book it.
Now Mick, 62, who has been a fierce critic of the Bush-led war in Iraq, is refusing to give it up.
The veteran rocker hired the luxury Royal Suite at the five-star Imperial Hotel in Vienna, Austria, for June when the Stones are due to play a gig in the city.
Bush’s aides then tried to book it to tie in with a summit meeting.
But Mick put his foot down and insisted he was keeping the booking.
A source close to the millionaire singer said last night: “White House officials had wanted to reserve the suite and all the other rooms on the first floor.
“But Mick and the Stones had already booked every one of them."
“Bush’s people seemed to be under the impression that they would just hand over the suites but there was no way Mick was going to do that.”
Deal with it Bush, rock n’ roll wins. I guess every little protest counts even if it’s over a hotel room that most rich people will never even think about seeing.
This has been Andy D.
