Wow:
Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger escaped an assassination plot hatched by the Hells Angels, a new British Broadcasting Corp. documentary claims.
A program to be broadcast Monday on BBC Radio 4 says the rock star was targeted in 1969 following a purported dispute with the motorcycle gang over concert security.[...]
Gang members hatched a plan to kill Jagger at his holiday home in Long Island, New York, the BBC claims. Their attack by sea was thwarted when a storm hit their boat, throwing the men overboard, the program says.
The Angels probably found the boats extremely hard to steer, weighed down as they were with all those motorcycles.
The Hell's Angels put a hit out on Mick Jagger, and it takes them 39 years to get around to it? What could be more important than teaching an uppity rock star a little respect for the long arm of the underworld? Then, as I understand it,when they've finally managed to clear their apparently long and neglected asassination to-do list they call it off because they got wet? Is it me, or is anyone else thinking that maybe the Angels are losing their edge?
