On the video for Till the next time, Jagger is just too good looking, BUT - as so often in the seventies, I think he poses too much and annoys me. Especially his feminine attitudes seem false and ridiculous.
But now when it comes through unintentionnally, he craks me up. I love Rambler on four flicks, at the beginning, when he sings the first "everybody got to go" and has this little hand move? So cute!
On that song, he starts by doing a gargoyle face, taking the harp out of his mouth and sticking out the tongue, so funny - then does this feminie little move - then dances like some wierd octopus - sooo cool!
In days of choregraphised videos, when everybody in the local club knows a few moves and the rest feel stupid, Mick's sheer enjoyment and who-gives-a-@#$%& moves cheer me up a lot. That grandpa is like a little boy, having a blast on stage!
I think Jagger has never sang/looked/moved better and never had such a contagious positive vibe as today. "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."
