Mick Jagger Calls Monty Python Wrinkly Old Men Making A Load of Money

The Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts have made a funny video for the Monty Python tour taking the piss out of the Stones current tour by calling the Pythons “wrinkly old men making a load of money”.

Mick and Charlie are seen sitting on a coach watching the World Cup. “Monty Python, are they still going?,” Mick says. “I mean, who wants to see that again really? It was really funny in the sixties. Still, a bunch of wrinkly old men trying to relive their youth and make a load of money, I mean, the best one died years ago!”.

The original members of Monty Python John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones & Graham Chapman, will start their 10 date reunion shows at the O2 in London this evening (July 1, 2014).

Jagger and The Stones are on tour in Europe and will play Sweden tonight.
