Blair: I wore massive flares and sang Honky Tonk Woman
By Joe Murphy, Evening Standard
3 March 2005

The Prime Minister has always been coy about his early career in rock and roll - and today we found out why.

Tony Blair has confessed to serious style crimes in his days as front-man for a student pop band, not least how he shamelessly mimicked Mick Jagger on stage.

Mr Blair admitted strutting through renditions of the Rolling Stones' Honky Tonk Woman, one hand on hip and wagging his finger in the Jagger mode. He dressed in "massive flares", exposing four inches of bare midriff under a cropped, hoop-necked T-shirt.

And although the venues were only village halls and university colleges, he treated every gig as if it was Wembley Stadium, once bellowing: "Well awright Corpus Christi Alternative College Ball, we are the Ugly Rumours!"

In his first detailed interview about his attempt at pop stardom, Mr Blair admitted: "I was a lot better at moving than I was at singing. And I was a lot slimmer in those days."

His antics were recalled by former band members in a "reunion" of Ugly Rumours for the rock magazine, Word.

The funniest Blair fact from that time is he was probably watching his future father in law in soft porn films.

Looks a lot closer to Bill Wyman than he does Mick Jagger.

Nice hairdo, Poodle :D

PM Tony Blair probably could have made it in rock & roll with his band Ugly Rumour if he would have had some originality instead of trying to be Mick Jagger completely onstage. BTW, his haircut is more Bill Wyman than Jagger.

[FORD]

Speaking of having no originality....... :rolleyes:

I don't have much of either, but I don't live with my mother in a "van down by the river!"

[Wayne L.]

You live in a trailer park with your mother & you have a son by your sister Nicky boy.

Wow! You really are origional, actually I don't have any of the above. You've never denied it though.

We really should give Wayne a break. Living with Katydid would be rough on anyone, let alone a foot fetishist. Dr Scholls won't even go anywhere near those things.

[Wayne L.]

I thought you lived with her & with Nicky boy FORD so you must have some problems in your life beyond your control?

Uh, no Wayne, you are the wind beneath Katydid's wings. Remember how you two love birds bonded?

[Wayne L.]

Kate is your mother Nicky boy.
