People were getting increasingly skeptical of organised religion and the effect was plain for all to see, especially in Western Europe. Only a few people regularly attended the churches, mosques, temples and synagogues. With such poor attendance, it was inevitable that many had to be closed down and sold at rock bottom prices due to oversupply. Rich and famous musicians were keen to buy up such properties for a song (no pun intended) as tax shelters. They could also use the hall for rehearsals, performances and (heaven forbid!) parties while waiting for the prices to recover.
A nosy reporter happened to investigate Mick Jagger’s purchases and found out that he had bought several churches, temples and synagogues but not a single mosque. Strangely enough, neither did Keith Richards and the rest of the band members.
The mystery was finally solved when the reporter managed to corner Mick one day and asked him why this was so.
“It no secret” replied Mick “Everybody knows A Rolling Stone Gathers No Mosques.”

Dedicated to freethinkers of the world and the fantastic The Rolling Stones...a concert I can never forget!
