You're in the establishment. Now

Silent Words Speak Loudest salutes Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt OBEs.

Said Parfitt: "I think the rest of the band knew something was up - we dropped some hints. We would walk around the dressing room and talk about what we were going to eat and say, 'just One Boiled Egg'"...

In the course of their rockin' all over the world this year, the BBC article suggests they played to 250,000 people - more than that, surely, taking Glastonbury into account?

...for services to all 3 chords, presumably?

I like to think that they received the OBEs because of the medicinal relief they provided during the recording of the Live Aid song. Toot, toot.
