Pulp, Not Jagger, Concerned About The Aged

October 7 [14:00 EDT] -- Brit popsters Pulp are concerned about the elderly, but apparently aging rock veteran Mick Jagger is not.

Pulp will be issuing a new single in England called "Help The Aged" and donating a significant portion of the proceeds to an English charity of the same name. A similar charity recently asked Rolling Stones frontman Jagger to be a spokesperson but apparently to no avail.

We never did hear back from (Jagger) when we issued the invitation in August," says spokesperson Sandy Huntington of the Age Resource, the "younger arm" of the international Age Concern. "But we've written him again about 10 days ago wishing him luck on their tour and letting him know the invitation is still open and we'd be delighted to have a response.

The Pulp single will be issued by Island November 10. The song was debuted at the giant V96 festivals last summer. The lyrics, in part, read: "Help the aged don't just put them in a home they can't have much fun

when they're all on their own.

Meanwhile England's New Musical Express reports that the single release will also be featuring a song originally written for the forthcoming James Bond film, "Tomorrow Never Dies." The film's producers rejected the track in favor of a song by Sheryl Crow but the band opted to retitled the tune 'Tomorrow Never Lies' and issue it on their own.
