8:48AM Clem Bastow | The Rolling Stones have never been particularly interested in religion beyond the daffy hippyisms of She’s A Rainbow and their wacky dabblings in dark mysticism and apparent Satan-worship during the late-’60s, and for this we thank them.
However, that looks set to change with news that Mick Jagger has allegedly
been seen getting about with one of those Kabbalah “red string” bracelets around his wrists (which he apparently stopped waving about long enough for someone to get a shot of them) – and the gossip rags reckon it’s all for love.
Sir Mick, 64, seems to have shown more interest in the spiritual side of life after getting together with L’Wren Scott.
Last month, the couple stayed at the 347-room Indian palace home of the Maharaja of Jodhpur and collected mystical trinkets for their £10million Chelsea mansion.
Last year, when the Stones were on tour in South America, Sir Mick took time out to have his “auras cleansed” in a smoke ceremony conducted by a roadside shaman.
Well, it could be worse – it could be ScientoLOLogy.
Really, the only foolishness involved in getting into Kabbalah (which is not-for-profit, despite its many “recommended” accoutrements) seems to be the shelling out of ridiculous amounts of cash for $9 bottles of holy water.
And, obviously, the whole “men wear white tracksuits” thing. We just can’t see Sir Mick getting down with that (though we’re sure he could wear it well).
