Typically modest comment from him about it, too. Says he thought about it before accepting ('Yes Sir? No Sir?' Any 'Arthur....' fans out there? ), but it's not just for him, but for his family and fans. Good lad.

I would have rather he just stayed Ray, a genius like him should never be in a club with Elton bleeding John

Good, and not before time. Ray Davies wrote some of the finest songs of the last 50 years and refused to sell out to America, spending his life in his beloved London.
