Rich is cool, poor is sad

The satirist Craig Brown compares and contrasts Mick and Keith here in the Telegraph:
Over the age of 30, there is a thin line dividing Cool from Sad, and that line is provided by wealth. Keith Richards remains the King of Cool largely because he is a multi-millionaire. If he had, by chance, ended up as the lead guitarist with, say, The Swinging Blue Jeans, and he was at present on a Sixties Revival Tour, I doubt we would now be so full of admiration for his funny little laid-back ways.

How refreshing to see someone stick up for Jagger. He's is right - without Mick taking care of business, Richards would be nowhere.
