Like the other members of the Rolling Stones, Jagger is often subject to satire or ridicule for the fact that he is still performing rock music live at middle age, even behaving in his usual energetic and dramatic way onstage.
Mick Jagger was knighted on 12 December 2003, for "services to popular music" . His fellow rolling stone Keith Richards was unimpressed, describing it as a "paltry honour". ("I thought it was ludicrous to take one of those gongs from the Establishment ... It's not what the Stones is about, is it? ... I don't want to step out on stage with someone wearing a fucking coronet and sporting the old ermine. I told Mick, 'It's a fucking paltry honour'.")
