Ageless, naive question from a casual fan....

God gave Mick everything. He seems also to cope well about ageing.

But he also worries, and seems enjoying being worried.

"Mick is a power freak" Keith says.

Charlie also says, in short, that Mick has been a very good friend when he (Charlie) was in pain, but that he (Charlie) could not give that back - too distant, elusive Mick..

Finally: are seven women better than one to make a man happy?

You cannot ever trust any woman to make you happy.
Gotta find yer happines within yerself.

If he isn't, he bloody well ought to be! ;^)

I think that Mick Jagger is scared shitless of getting old. I mean, he´s a living proof of ageing well, but time waits for no one...

yes when he counts his MONEY !

So do you think Keith is maybe happier ?
Keith's been quoted [just for a change ] as saying that "...the funny thing about getting old is that the the older you get...the older you want to be"
Or does he just mean that it beats the alternative ?

Jagger has always claimed he was born happy. He has a natural and easy smile that has served him well over the years. He seems very, very happy.

I really do hope he is a happy man. It's tough being a mega-star, cameras in your face constantly, being followed, little privacy, although in certain parts of the world I'm sure he's a lot more free to move about without being bothered. I know he goes to those places exactly for that reason, to escape. He's still a MAN with normal concerns and worries...who isn't concerned about aging? He's certainly not a freak! Glad Charlie said what a good friend Mick is to him. Mick has had his share of pain, the normal stuff, death of parents, lose of loved ones, concern over friends' health, including Keith, Charlie and Ronnie. Losing Stu was brutal for him. Over-all, I think he has the ability to keep himself relatively happy, and not just monetary means. He's a very smart man, uses his mind to stay active and involved in life.

As long as the air conditioner works, you can be happy.

I think he's as happy as one can be in this life. Life has its ups and downs I think he's doing just fine.

Mick's an unsatisfied man, it's a permanent condition.... Sometimes he's happy, happiness is fleeting - it comes and goes depending......I was happy for a couple hours yesterday working on my Photo website.....

NO ONE HERE GETS OUT ALIVE - Jim Morrison

Yes indeed. He has $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ doesn't make you happy, ask ELTON JOHN ......

...... sure helps out a bunch )

Interesting question I have thought about before. I think he is when working and keeping busy, but I have my doubts about him all alone. Keith I think has more peace alone, but is probably crankier around others.

Glows when he's Jumpin' Jack Flash....It's where he belongs...

I would say happy but always hungry (in more ways than one), never satisfied. Lucky for us, he feels the need to prove it over and over again, as well as feeling just the joy of music and being on the road.

Speaking of happy.but hungry their Plax. Sent my cd's yet?

"It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door"

How could he be unhappy tapping all those chicks and getting to hang with Keith?

Mick had a middle class upbringing and has a strong work ethic. For a band that hasn't had a manager for nearly 40 years it's just as well it wasn't left up to Keith isn't it?

I think Mick is a highly intelligent person who operates a many levels. My favourite Keith comment on him is "Mick is a nice bunch of guys."

I'm sure he has his good and bad periods like all of us. Who can say if he's overall happy? My guess is that he is.

Business minded and motivated - yes.
Happy? Yes, I met him once and saw him walking around the arena before the doors opened and he was smiling and happy, especially with his daughters, definately loves his kids.

I really do think he is happy. One reason is $$$$$$$. I don't think he is unhappy too much being the mega star that he is.

A reply from 1969, at least, is in the Deja Vu thread begun by Voja. Mick is quoted: "Sometimes I wish I wasn't me... I don't mean the real me, I'm quite happy with that - but the person they all swear at. But every time someone curses me, I think, 'Remember, that's what makes me very rich' ".

Today, he seems happy and grounded with his family... and yet he still seems to move around constantly, while the other Stones seem happy in one place. Seems like he's still looking for something.

After all of the turbulence of the early days I think they are all happy now. They are living legends and will be even more revered and respected when they hang it up. I think Mick has kept the Stones at the level that they are now and it's obvious that he has the drive to power them on until they just can't or don't want to go anymore. Like the under assistant west coast promo man!
I can't imagine what would make him unhappy with all that they have accomplished.

Who's Plax?

Yes, sent them last weekend, did u get them yet?


Plex

Yes

It depends on what is happy and by what terms you define happy. You can have all the success and money in the world but still be unhappy. Trully happy people are those that are grounded and know who they are.

Personally I am happy 90% of the time. I have a great girlfriend who I love and respect, I have a roof over my head, water and food in my belly and I have some great friends. Those 5 things are what make me 90% happy. The other 10% are my things like guitars and cd's. Not necessary but nice to have. I'm not on a constant quest for happiness.

Mick I would hope by now has found what he is looking for at the age of 64 and is happy with his lot.

You can't always get what you want.....

he did write about his "charmed life" so it would seem he's happy - unless he's insecure and trying to show off.

The love of a good woman is one of the keys to true happiness, I guess that explains why Elton is so damn miserable!
