The amount of Prime Ministers and Presidents and Royalty of different countrys The Stones have met over the years must be alot now.I know Britains had a few Prime Ministers come and go.And the same with us.I just wonder how many they have met over the years and who there favourite ones were.

Cant think of any British prime ministers they would have met, to be honest. (we've had nine during the band's career)

Government ministers or MPs - sure

Seriously the Stones met Vaclav Havel in Praha in 1990 and it was quite important for both sides (I think).
The entirely untrue KR claim that R&Roll tore down the Wall was born that day I guess... >grinning smiley<

They also met the Spanish PM, Felipe González in Madrid in June 1990.

For US presidents, Clinton obviously (although not when he was in office, as far as I recall) - and Ronnie has played onstage at an Inaugural part for the Republican party in january 1989, which was (I think) attended by the newly elected President George Bush.

I always thought Jagger had some sympathy for Blair and even political aspirations. I guess he met him.

Yep, the Nixon-era was a special time. Tricky Dick, Elvis, the Stones hitting their peak. It all happened in that magical period.

As for PM's and Presidents, there was the whole situation in Canada in the late Seventies.

More the other way around. I'm doubtful as to whether they've ever met.

Jagger never had political aspirations. A few Labour MP's tried to get him to become more politically active in the late 60's, most notably Tom Driberg, although I think old Tom possibly had more carnal intentions.

1. Future President who also wants to be a rock star

                 2. Former President and Stones hanging out

                                                3. Rock star with paintings and former President hanging out together again

No Gazza, I'm sure I read in the serious press that Jagger had some Labour like political aspirations. But in a very vague and non realistic way. But though.

No Gazza, I'm sure I've read in the serious press that Jagger had some Labour like political aspirations on a lower level during the Blair regime. In a very vague and non realistic way, but though.

There's a docu on Lee Atwater called Boogie Man, which includes a few clips from
that party. Not only did Bush attend. He got up on stage as well playing a bit of air guitar

When Mick was doing SFTD at Zilker Park in Austin on there ABB Tour.He left out the bit about the Kennedys is that because he was showing his respect to the American people and been in Texas.Or has it been liked that for a while.Im surpised when he said it was there first time in Austin beem such a well known City.

I thought that someone would mention this...

It's a technicality, but Beggars Banquet was released in December 1968, which was a few weeks before Nixon was sworn in as President. Nixon had won the election in November 1968. But actually Johnson was still President (for a few more weeks) when Beggars Banquet was released.
