Apparently Jagger does (http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006180696,00.html).
PRESIDENT George Bush can’t get no satisfaction — after Mick Jagger grabbed his hotel room.

The Rolling Stone splashed out £3,600 a night for the suite days before the US leader tried to book it.

Now Mick, 62, who has been a fierce critic of the Bush-led war in Iraq, is refusing to give it up.

The veteran rocker hired the luxury Royal Suite at the five-star Imperial Hotel in Vienna, Austria, for June when the Stones are due to play a gig in the city.

Bush’s aides then tried to book it to tie in with a summit meeting.

But Mick put his foot down and insisted he was keeping the booking.

A source close to the millionaire singer said last night: “White House officials had wanted to reserve the suite and all the other rooms on the first floor.

“But Mick and the Stones had already booked every one of them.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sorry. That was childish. And I loved it. :D

£3,600 a night

yeesh, time to downgrade to the fucking motel 6

I'm sure Bush can find another hotel to stay at. Or he could cut the crap and do what he does best. Invade, destroy, sunder and win the hearts and minds of the people in austria. After that I'm sure he can have his favourite room.

yeah, they'll leave the light on for you.


3600 pounds... isn't that something like $6500?

cripes, he might have gotten the room, but the cost-benefit analysis was a bit lacking. lol

I'm sure Bush has a fold-out bed in his limo; poor bastard might have to slum it for a night.

Why doesn't Bush just take the second floor instead?

The third. That way they can stop by the second and drop Bush a few lines of coke before heading on down to Jagger's floor.

Mick is going to be such a hero amongst the snobby elite.

I'm all for a pre-emptive strike against Jagger-send in some spec ops to gas and truss him, leave him in a broom closet for his stay.

Or-sink him back in the peat bog he looks like he was pulled from.

Well, I have no great love for the Stones--they'd have been a better band if Mick had kicked off around 1980 or so--but I still take great glee in this story, if only because of the hole it punctures in the myth that the POTUS is the most important man in the world.

Even if Mick Jagger lost his lips in a freak skiing accident he'd still have more pull than George Bush.

First come first served. I don't get why it's newsworthy :s



[Edit: Ah, it's The Sun. Now I understand a little more.]

I really can't understand why anyone would want to stay in a room like this anyway. Its just... weird.
