Can we psychoanalyze Mick Jagger?

I assume he works out and has a crew of trainers helping him on top of "thin genetics." It's just how he's built. He hasn't avoided the other aspects of aging though - craggy face, wrinkles. But, he still has decent movement and can still sing reasonably well. I hope to be that robust at his age.

Famous for so long? - that's not really rare for legacy artists of the Stones' stature.

Let's psychoanalyze someone we don't know.

Let's psychoanalyze someone we've never met in a country on the side of the planet who was born in a culture alien to us.

Sold his soul to rock n roll. Obvs.

Former college professor of mine who used to be VERY big deal in the music business (and had the wealth to prove it) told me that he knows Mick Jagger and thinks he’s a latent homosexual.

I once met a man who used to be VERY important who told me that he paid to see a Stones Concert and even though he was sitting two hundred feet away he said he can confidently psychoanalyze Jagger and confirm that he thinks Jagger prances like a show-girl.

He never should have left Herman and the Hermits.

Yes, but we don't have to.

He has "it".

^*had*

Nothing more desparate than grandpa rocks

He was hot back in the day.

Mick was never hot

He'll never make it.

Isn't he like 4'9" or something?

When he dances it looks like he's getting mugged.

When he dances it looks like he's having an epileptic seizure.

Marianne Faithfull described him as "a nice, middle class boy", which sounds hilarious but is probably pretty close to the truth. He has a bachelors in Economics so I guess he knows how to invest well.

He's got a willowy figure.

R16, Mick is worth multi millions

How did Couscous get out of the trunk? And it was hilarious when he was trying to get home and then Barry beat him there.

Oops wrong thread!

Bisexual artist who filled a need of the zeitgeist.

Actually, when he dances it looks like he's fighting off a mugger.

He was beautiful back in the day. My ideal man.

r20 oh how the stones fans hate hearing that...

but it was fun watching the manic denials and excuses over Cocksucker Blues...

No, OP, we can't.

I taught him how to dance.

Thank you.

MacKenzie Phillips said they had sex when she turned 18 and Mick told her he had been waiting years to do so. Ew.

Such a law obeying citizen R26

r26 Can anything she say actually be verified, let alone trusted?

Even in her brief periods of sobriety, she'd go off the deep end, make up stories (that would turn into conspiracies) and sometimes lose work over it (or her costars would walkout)

she's on par with roseanne on the mad scale.

R28, it is hard to imagine a rock star who can get virtually anyone pining after the underage daughter of a friend for years. That's what MacKenzie claimed but, you're right, it is suspect.

Mick's father was thin and, during his working life, his father was a high school physical education instructor. As a result, Mick was raised to be fit. In fact, Mick is thinner now than he was in his early 20s thanks to fewer drugs and alcohol. Another interesting fact: Mick's father was also bald, which makes me wonder if Mick has worn a wig all these years.

R30 baldness gene doesn't have to be passed from father to son, it is more frequent on X chromosome, so you will rather get it from maternal grandfather. Also, it can skip generations, so there are cases of two brothers where one is bold and the other has head full of hair. (Obviously, not with the Windsor bros, who both got lucky).

Well hidden is the fact he's highly cultivated, and more a gentleman of the gentry in private, than a no-taste rock star. Mollie, the Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury, was a good friend, and designed his garden in France.

Sure, we can psychoanalyze him, why not? I enjoy taking guesses, anyway. Here's mine: At heart, he's a very normal middle-class English boy, grounded and basically conservative (meaning prudent) in his attitudes and conduct, which has enabled him to survive rock stardom. He's highly sexed and has indulged in the decadent treats fame has brought his way, but is essentially a hardworking, disciplined, creative person. I don't know anything about his upbringing, but I'm guessing it gave him a stable foundation.

r32, I've read that he is quite the raconteur at parties

Who we should be psychoanalyzing is Keith Richards. How the fuck is he still kicking? Did the drugs make him stronger? Iggy Pop is in this realm too. How in god’s name did he outlive his pals Lou Reed and Bowie?

R33 You could offer the same adjectives to the late Marlene Dietrich.

[quote] Mick Jagger and thinks he’s a latent homosexual.

Mick is almost 79 years old. The man ain't going up into the man.

Mick surely had his fun during those heavy rock years but he was smart and knew how to keep things in perspective. And i think he had a great support system. His daughter Liv Tyler could tell you. She seemed to be a bright spot in his life.

^ Oops I was wrong that’s Steven Tyler’s daughter. But either way Mick himself has an army of kids that supports him.

[quote] Keith Richards.

Lat year I met a grizzled old geezer who went to the same school as 'im. (Except 'e was in the year below 'im)

'E was a bit stupid. And 'e talked as rough as guts.

[quote]Can we psychoanalyze Mick Jagger?

He has eight children vith five ve-men, so it's apparent that he prefers to share his spermatic fluid with a variety of hosts.

Ah Jagger, how I was in love with him as a boy. I mean in his younger version. Must have been my first celebrity crush.

Judging by the way his face caved in, he smokes and drinks a lot? Or did? The cigs would help stave off hunger and give him energy. The drink would would help with stress. When younger he would have done a shitload of drugs. Michael Hutchence had similar on-stage energy and never went on-stage sober but somehow I see Mick as being too smart to be dependent on a chemical high. All those fans would probably be enough. A pity jerry didn't write a tell all AFTER her break up with mick

Keith Richards: I remember Jackie Collins referring to KR going to Switzerland in the 80s or so for blood transfusion treatments to jump-start drug detox. This was before naltrexone under anaesthesia was available

[quote] and move like that?

Move like what?

Mostly hype

He looks like a Muppet, dances like one, and his voice is average.

What R33 said. Plus the London School of Economics. Mick is cheap, smart, and horny. He spent 20 years on drugs but never lost his head. Paid for the kids he fathers, but never let go of his fortune. Didn't always treat his women so well - but I doubt he lied to them much. They all knew the deal. Jerri Hall stuck with it and made all those kids with him and she's not exactly a clinging begging chick herself. Jagger is one of a kind. And he was never with just a "pretty" girl. (one night stands aside) Though all his women were exotic or beautiful or lovely and all quite different from one another. He's a bon vivant and a fucking AMAZING rock star. Up until 30 years ago. When I was NINE. But my mom and her friends can tell you stories about Mick and the band.

Mick for sure experimented with some men - at least in orgies. What the fuck do you think the "Cocksucker Blues" is all about.

He's one of a kind.

How much better is he supposed to look at 79? We all gonna die.

Long after he couldn't sing anymore, Mick was still sexy. Now, he's just Mick Jagger. The way that Tina Turner still has her name. And her great legacy. They are irreplaceable. ♥

R4 - latent? He was outed as bi ever since his sexual relationship with Bowie years ago. No news there.

Old people who stay thin are always more spry.

Freud would say those big lips always holding onto that microphone stand are indicative of a man stuck in the oral stage subconsciously desiring to replace the phallic microphone for a big cock.

Freud was a kookball.

No, thanks.
