There is so much invested in this pheneomenon called The Rolling Stones that goes way beyond, say, the guitar magazine stuff

Exactly!
Marianne once said those things that people most hate about Mick - narcissism,vanity,arrogance and womanazing - all of it make him the greatest performer of all times. That's the Jagger' paradox, people love and hate him simultaneously for the same things.

Mick is not just the performer, he is the lyric writer, so muses for him are the most important.
And thank you very much for the foto, Doxa! Have you more from that period? I've only seen the fotos of sport team at school and TV appearence with his dad(Imean from his teen years)

You are welcome, but sorry I don't have any foto archives. In fact I found that particular photo when I was searching for a certain thread-related photo in the net space. I didn't find the latter. It is a photo from 1979/80 of Marianne and bearded Mick talking face to face to each other, and upset-looking Jerry is staring at them behind (but in a photo middle of them). I saw it in Finnish tranaslation of Philip Norman's Stones book.

Textbook response. It's pretty much impossible for most females to put themselves in his position where he can do almost anybody whenever he wants, and doesn't have to listen to somebody complain when he's not home at a certain time. When he gets tired of one,
Case in point - Jo Wood was talking about how she'd like to find a man a week or two ago. You don't see Ronnie having that problem do you? That's just the way it is, good or bad.

Textbook male response, if it so suits you, Brue..lol
I've always believed that are the needy ones. Case in point, has Mick ever been without someone? Nope, he went from one to the other with little time in between, Like most men, they need a crutch, no matter how randy or nonchalant they pretend to be. I think Jagger is a perfect example of that. He @#$%& and @#$%& everything, but falls apart when his women gets fed up and ends it. Has Mick ever ended any of his relationships, intentionally? Again, nope. Marianne, Bianca, Jerry Hall and Anita for that matter - all have remained primarily unattached. They seem empowered by singledom. I get that its somehow empowering for some guys to get off on the idea that rock stars don't give a shit, but women know better. They need a woman.

This is exactly why men don't tell women the truth. You don't see me calling people names, do you? Nooooooo tongue sticking out smiley)

Maybe it is true that he has a problem with ending a relationship, but whenever the woman ended the relationship, Mick seemed to have moved on for a long time before. When he was in Austalia with Marianne his thoughts were already with Marsha, Jerry was already there when Bianca left, and I always felt that he provoked Jerry so much because he could not leave himself, but she refused to go. So that child was the best that could happen, because now everone is happy. L´Wren seems to be the best for him.

DOXA, I know exactly what you are talking about. I like it too. It is hidden here on IORR. meanwhile


BTW, I also was looking for "Mick and beard" theme. I've read once Mick' interview with Jimmy Fallon- Mick was the interviewer- about comedy, in general. and among others things they talked about beards too. mick said smth. like it was very unclean, all the food and drinks were in the beard and he had to clean it all the time. can't find it on the net

True, but at the same time, while he "moves on", it seems like he always regrets it to a point. This is all supposition of course, but so many of his songs have a tinge of regret. And sometimes that next person can be a crutch to moving on. I do agree with your theory about the end of his relationship with Jerry Hall. I remember Morad saying something something to the effect that he told his relationship with Jerry was over and that their last child was her idea, not his. She also said that he asked about protection and he said it didn't matter. I think you've touched on something here: maybe he was unhappy, she was unhappy, but he knew she would never leave and he did something so completely destructive that she would have no choice. Sometimes people subconciously sabatoge a relationship and then regret it later. But the fact is, Miss Scott does seem good for him, He seems settled in a way that he never did with Jerry, despite all those kids.

Ok, that's a funny picture and an easy shot....lol.
While age might have something to do seeming more 'settled'.
(This is all supposition and a matter of friendly debate (smiley face)
Its more than that though Mary,
You mentioned that you've only been reading about the Stones for a few years. Well, from 83-1999, nothing really changed in the Mick and Jerry Follies (that's how Rolling Stones described it in the 80s)
There was the intitial "living together" 78-82, and then Jerry obviously started to want something more secure and binding. (According to Marie Helvin, a young model who knew Jerry in the early days and was dating Mick's photographer-buddy David Bailey, Jerry thought it would be "fun" to get pregnant at the same time. This was 1978, before Mick was even divorced! Thhis is an indication of her maturity level at the time).
Somewhere around 82 these two seemed to repeat a pattern. One of Mick's "affairs" becomes public, a reunion of sorts occurs, Jerry either gets pregnant or starts talking about how they're geting married. That happened over and over and over througout the 80s and 90s and it was embarassing to watch as a Stones fan because it happened in the pages of People and US or whatever. Nothing every changed or seemed to evolve and that was apparent in Jerry's attitude.
By contrast, there seems to be a real mutual respect between L'wren and Mick. Its obvious. Jagger has finally gotten his persona out of the tabloids and that never happened when he was Jerry, Not slamming her, just a fact. When was the last time Jagger was "linked" to some 21-year old starlet or heiress? Not in a long time. Yes, it may be age, but .....its interesting that Jade jokingly called L'wren her "stepmother" at a recent party. She never called Jerry that. There seems to be something stable about L'Wren, not needy and not desparate. They are seen together very often and he supports her work. I like this Mick Jagger.

Who's yours?

I'm always partial to dark horses and that was always Bianca to me, but of course, I love the Anita/Marianne drama. And as much as I criticize her, I like Jerry Hall's un-pretentiousness when she's not being pretentious or over-doing it. I'm from Texas too and... in the summer of 1979, Jerry, along with John Travolta, was in my hometown shooting Urban Cowboy. It was the biggest thing to happen to my honky-tonk city,so I can't be too mean.
As I said, all the women are interesting and iconic in their own ways. WHat other rock and roll band can we say that about? Not too many.

Annoying as she is - I think it's Marianne. The most entertaining, I guess.
I've read Marsha's book and there is something irritatingly too-saintly about her. How she's so rational and caring and grown up. Maybe she is; I don't know.

The relationship that has always fascinated me the most was the one Mick had with Chrissie Shrimpton - apart from cliched stories - there is very little information available.

Did they even live together? Bent Rej describes a sort of a domestic scene when he came to photograph Mick in his flat. And Marianne describes how when she moved into Mick's flat there were still Chrissie's things around.
But in her column 'From London with Luv' in Tiger Beat she mentions living with her flatmates (Liz and Linda) and that's in October 1966.

Plus, she's always shown as Mick's victim (trying to commit suicide after he left her for Marianne, etc) but didn't she beat the s**t out of him on a regular basis? She even allegedly scratched his face with her ring so badly that she gave him a scar on his cheek.

I mean, they might have had a 'passionate' relationship but Mick is hardly known for hitting his girlfriends...

Ain't no "maybe". She was. She still is. Out of all of Mick's women, she's the only one that acted mature. She never talked down about him to their daughter, Karis. Even after he denied she was his! You call that irritating, but I call that STRENGTH. Her maturity paid off in the end, because Mick eventually came around and started acting right towards her.

[I actually think Bianca hurt Jagger the most, contrary to the images they evoked. I know that's a rare opinion in Stonesdom. But hmmm....just a hunch.

I don´t know if it is only a rumor or if it is true that Bianca never understood what he was doing. And that she told him to stop with that childish music-making and do something more meaningful. Being a creative person it must be hurtful to hear from your partner that you should give up that "stupid thing". If it is true.

I had the good fortune to meet and become acquainted with Bianca Jagger in the early 80's. I met her in Studio 54 (where I was bartending - and having the time of my life - as a young pup right out of University) and she was indeed a cerebral, self-contained lady...very different than the other women I met there. There was a strength, confidence and dignity about her that was nearly unnerving in those febrile times. We had breakfast together several times - she waited until Studio closed and we would have something to eat in a diner nearby...and she was nobody's fool and very involved in humanitarian causes, (though I considered her a Champagne Socialist - but that's for another discussion). We had lively political debates (as lively as they can be at 5:30 a.m.) and I can very easily imagine Bianca considering the Stone's music 'childish music-making' compared to the causes she was involved in, which included feeding hungry children in Nicaragua, among several other endeavors. As a Stones fan - and in New York in the late 70's and early 80's New York was a Stones town thru and thru so everybody knew what had happened with Bianca and Mick and Jerry, etc. - I never directly asked her about this, but I listened between the lines and I sensed a melancholy and a sense of regret that she had moved on to more adult, 'meaningful' endeavors while her mate had chosen to remain in the same place playing the same shallow, narcissistic (and very lucrative) game...very complicated...
