I may think he's lost the plot in his personal life, but I've still booked tickets to see the movie of the RS's Cuba stadium gig on 23rd September! oh well....

I think he is a musical genius and one of a few people who started the 60s culture revolution. An amazing band the Rolling Stones that still is going strong today

Well Lionel we can agree on this. I only ever quite liked one Rolling Stones song and I can't remember now which it was. I admit that my preferences lie with classical music but I'm not a complete square - I do like the Beatles and Elvis.

I'm with you Lionel when it comes to the music of Simon and Garfunkel. It takes true genius to write a song as evocative as "Homeward Bound" whilst sitting at Widnes station (allegedly).

The lyrics are, for me, what really sets their music apart from others of that era. Simon and Garfunkel's emergence coincided with the countercultural movement which grew during the second half of the 60s and the messages within their songs refelected the disaffection of many of the young people of that time. Among my favourite films is The Graduate and one of the main reasons for this is the use of "The Sound of Silence" and "Mrs Robinson" to perfectly verbalise Benjamin Braddock's thoughts and feelings.

When it comes to the Mick Jagger, I'm more of an admirer of his longevity than a fan of his music. Whilst it's true the Rolling Stones were a major influence on 60s culture, many of their earliest songs were re-workings of old American Blues music so their main contribution was to introduce that style of music to the UK. The Beatles, on the other hand, played a major role in introducing British 60s culture to the rest of the world by being at the forefront of the 'British Invasion'.

No, Lionel, there's nothing 'wrong' with Mick Jagger, you just happen to strongly dislike him. I completely agree with anf1408's opinion of the Stones as I developed a deep love of American blues music in my early teens that has lasted all my life, and I owe that almost totally to Mick Jagger and the Stones. I've seen the Stones live several times. I also love classical music, and Simon and Garfunkel, and all sorts of other music. Not liking a particular band, singer, or a particular genre of music doesn't make it 'bad', it's simply a matter of personal taste.

I think you must be referring to the album 'Their Satanic Majesties Request', I don't own that particular album, but I think you might be referring to the track 'Cosmic Christmas' where the subliminal phrase was 'We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year'.....not quite sure how that would disgust anyone. 🙂

I wouldn't say Mick Jagger has lost the plot, but it seems to me to be a rather selfish act as his age means he may not be around for this child as he/she grows up.

Well I guess he could live to be 100 so it may be ok. I cannot image many other guys of 72 doing what he does on stage! Good luck to him!

Indeed, Wilf, he may well do. At least the child will be well provided for as Mick's an extremely wealthy man.
