JUG JUG TO DIRTY EARS*

I see that The Rolling Stones tour in USA has been cancelled/postponed due to old Mick's health problem.


MICK JAGGER - HEART SURGERY




Well, they are getting on a bit. Mick Jagger is about 10 years older than me and there's no way that I could cavort around on stage the way he's been doing for years.

I was watching the British comedy programme 8 Out Of 10 Cats where Sean Locke compared the Rolling stones to a line up of Toby Jugs.  Funny.

The Rolling Stones

Toby Jugs

The funny thing is that Toby Jugs have been made of The Beatles:

The Beatles in Toby form

And old Mick has been immortalised the same way:

* "Jug Jug to dirty ears" - from T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land



The change of Philomel, by the barbarous king

So rudely forced; yet there the nightingale

Filled all the desert with inviolable voice

And still she cried, and still the world pursues,

“Jug Jug” to dirty ears
