Mick Jagger Sparks Controversy With Joke About Americans Returning The Favor For Sandy Benefit Concert

A seemingly harmless joke from Mick Jagger during last night's 12-12-12 Concert for Sandy Relief has sparked some outrage from his American fans.

In between songs, the Rolling Stones frontman noted how much of the concert lineup was British before telling the crowd that he expects Americans to return the favor with a benefit show next time it rains in London.

'This has got to be the largest collection of old English musicians ever assembled in Madison Square Garden,' Jagger said to applause. 'It's great helping with this, but I've got to say: If it rains in London, you've got to come and help us, okay?'

The crowd at MSG seemed to laugh it off, but Twitter users ' including conservative commentator Michelle Malkin ' immediately took to calling the rocker out for what they deemed an 'inappropriate' joke:

Malkin's Twitter aggregation site compiled some of the angry tweets.

Of course, seeing as how it rains roughly 110 days per year in London, many others saw the humor and were not so offended by Jagger's ribbing:
