I see that Ringo Starr has now been knighted (only about 10 years after Paul) why the time difference I wonder? I cannot stand Mcartney he is so arrogant IMHO, he is not the "be all & end of" British pop music. I think it sucks that my mate Phil has not been knighted, I will have to mention that the next time I have tea & crumpets with HRH!!

Well, my 1st thought was "he's the drummer"... but drummers are cool.

Then again Phil (as in Collins) hasn't been knighted yet... maybe it is the drummer thing...

I know, and it isn't even the real Paul.

Well, I guess by now he's been Paul longer than he was Billy.

Then there are George and John....

So of the "Fab Four" Paul gets knighted... Ringo, George and John>>> Nope.

Yet Bob Geldof was.

Sure, one could argue that George and John died too soon, knighthoods aren't granted posthumously or something like that. But why did "they" wait so long!?

NOTE: I did read somewhere that John declined for some reason(s).

And Slow Hand... what about him?

I mean Elton John knighted over Eric Clapton... WTF!

Bowie declined... ok... cool...

Out of the music realm Aldous Huxley apparently declined as well... so many reasons why that is sad.

Would "you" accept the "honor"?

I would.

Bob Geldoff I think was awarded it because of Live aid etc. many of these awards are given for the service to the entertainment (or other area), its not all about charity work. For the most part I feel turning one down is just a "pr" stunt, there is no such thing as bad "pr"!! I am not a fan of the beatles at all & I do not see why they are seen as the "be all & end all" of music, yes they had there day, I see Paul as being very arrogant which is hardly good. Phil has brought just as much pleasure to the people (if not more than many)yet it has not been recognized by a knighthood sadly.
