JAGGER FEARS FOR LONDON THE ROLLING STONES star SIR MICK JAGGER is petrified for the plight of his native London since the terrorist attacks in July (05), and he fears the city may never recover. The veteran rocker was already so worried the British capital would be the victim of a bombing attack he has already used his fear as inspiration for several tracks on the latest Stones album A BIGGER BANG. Jagger says, "It is a scary time. Since I wrote the song, London's gotten scarier. "RAIN FALL DOWN is a song about London. It has a line, 'Feel like we're living in a battleground. Everyone's jazzed.' That was in my head already. "There were so many armed police in the streets. Walking around, seeing machine guns, is not how you imagine London to be. "If we keep going down this track, we're not going to get back."The same feeling is in BACK OF MY HAND - that we'll get too far away from our original values and this over-reaching imperialism will take us to a place where we eventually collapse."
