The Tony Blair You (Probably) Didn’t Know

From the September 2006 issue of Spin:

“…in [Tony Blair’s] early 20s he was a long-haired London rock promoter fond of fur coats and, as he put it, “the honeys.” Later, as a law student at St. John’s College, Oxford, he became the frontman for a band called the Ugly Rumours (after a hidden message on a Grateful Dead album sleave). A Mick Jagger fanatic, Blair would sweep onstage in elephant flares and a belly shirt, hand on hip, belting out the Rolling Stones’ ‘Live With Me’: ‘Don’tcha think there’s a place for you/In between the sheets?’…”

    Maybe you’re just jealous you aren’t as lucky with “the honeys” as Blair was (is?)? I think I have an extra fur coat in case you want to borrow it and go on the prowl.
