UnNews:Richards blames Jagger accident on Sgt Pepper
Sunday, August 9, 2015
Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones has blamed Mick Jagger's horse dragging accident on The Beatles' "rubbish" 1967 concept album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
The comments, which comes as the frontman is still missing presumed disintegrated, are sure to further dismay already-hurting classic rock fans.
Richards told UnNews: "I mean, ya know, the Beatles sounded great when they were the Beatles. But there's not a lot of roots in that music. I think they got carried away. Why not? If you're the Beatles in the '60s, you just get carried away—you forget what it is you wanted to do. You're starting to do Sgt. Pepper.
"Some people think it's a genius album, but I think it's a mishmash of rubbish, kind of like [Her] Satanic Majesties [Request, the Stones 1967 album] — 'Oh, if you can make a load of shit, so can we.'
"And you know, that pretentious shit makes horses -- wild or otherwise -- more aggressive and more likely to drag ya away, mate. But if you play something like 'Jumping Jack Flash,' the horses are much more friendly and relaxed. I dunno."
Experts in rhetoric are said to be poring over the statement in search of cause and effect. The Beatles, who are famously dying in the wrong order, were not available for comment.
