I can only guess that the original article was written about rock Kerniggitts in general and they struggled to come up with a title, so settled on the click-baity "Why this Beatle didn't get a Knighthood."

I didn't know about Bono getting one. I thought forrins weren't allowed? Or is the implication that Ireland is still a province?

Yes, and no. They can't call themselves "sir", as they don't get the whole kneel/arise-treatment. Honourary, in other words; not the real thing.

AW has one hasn't he?

Bono and Geldorf. :-(

Yes, an honourary OBE.

Plus the French version of our K. Whatever that may be..

Oh, I only listen to them sing. In fact, I rather think I have a full collection of U2 albums.

No me. I didn't scroll down that far. Gave up at Rod Stewart.

Wait - you're not dissing Rod The Mod, are you? :yikes:

Aesthetics are of course, subjective. To my mind his voice is a fairly accurate impersonation of nails scratched down a blackboard. I heard a cover of Maggie May once and it sounded quite good. If he wrote that song he was a better songwriter than singer to my tastes.

And what's with the fake Scotcher crap? He's from North London.

I'm so sorry, reg. Look, I never mean't dem fings I said about late-period Who that time.

Early Who is still better, of course.

I'm sure he will. Arguably that's why he's there.
