Church Refuses Rolling Stones Lyric Quote On Tomb
. But the Church of England have decided that the iconic lyrics are too flippant, and they've told the sons of a late rock fan they can't have "It was only rock'n'roll" engraved on his tomb. Darren and Rick Clapham wanted the words to be an epitaph for musician Charles, who recently passed away and was buried at All Saints Church in Standon near Stoke-on-Trent. They also wanted to describe his death by saying he "finally fell off his perch." But a Church of England court judge has decided against them. Stephen Eyre says: "I would be prepared to authorise an inscription going beyond the recording of Mr Clapham's age at death, and his attributes as a loving father and grandfather. "What is essential is that any such inscription gives a message which conveys something of Mr Clapham's character � without being capable of being seen as inconsistent with the Christian Gospel." more on this story Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
