1) I fail to see how any women can be viewed as a 'gold digger' just because she married (or got involved with) a rich and successful man when she stayed with him for 20 years and gave him 4 kids. It's not like he scraped her of the sidewalk. She had a career; she gave it up to stay at home.
That makes most women who married well and decided to stay at home and raise the kids, 'gold-diggers'.
Plus, if Marianne Faithfull is to be believed, Mick didn't WANT his women to work.
2) there is a difference between being unfaithful once or twice and cheating on your partner ALL THE TIME. Or isn't there?
3) I don't agree with the statement that 'no woman who sleeps with him can have any doubt about who and what he is'. I envy people who never made the mistake of thinking that the person they love will change and 'settle down' with them.
How does that make you a predator?
4) Jerry Hall wrote a book - fair play, she's had an interesting life. She needs to promote it. As promo-stunts go, this one is quite subdued.
She seems to be a nice lady. Mick certainly thought so; otherwise he wouldn't have stayed with her for 20 years.
I don't get where all the animosity comes from.

Jerry Hall was a very successful (an rich) model who at the time dated Bryan Ferry. Many women at the time thought she was crazy leaving a 'catch' like Ferry for an old man like Jagger.
She put up with him for 20 years, she gave him kids, she always stood by him; she obviously loved him and was loyal. She is one classy lady. How on earth can anybody say that 'she should shut up'?
As opposed to Marianne Faithfull she did not make a career out of her past relationship with Mick. Marianne only spent about 3 years in his company. Jerry spend most of her adult life with Mick - isn't she allowed to speak about it? It's common knowledge that Mick was unfaithful.
And after 20 years and, what, FOUR kids, all she got was 3 million dollars - which is nothing in comparison to how much money Mick has. Jerry is no predator.
Honestly, comments like that make my blood boil.
I agree that there is no particular reason to bad mouth Ms Hall (or any other of the Stones' Wags!) but let's not twist the facts.
1 - she was engaged to Ferry at the time she took up with Jagger who was still married to Bianca - both cheated on their respective partners so know full well what the other was capable of so far as fidelity is concerned
2 - Jagger is a mere 2 years older than Ferry, way more successful and richer. I don't think many informed people regarded him as 'an old man' at the time.
3. - Jagger was unfaithful - so was Hall (with Robert Sangster that we know of). She largely chose not to work but to live off Mick's money (and lets not hear the 'she was bringing up her family stuff' - at one point they employed two full time nannies)
4. - she got considerably more than $3 million in the annulment proceedings - Downe House alone was worth more than this.
5. - I personally don't regard calling the father of your children 'a dangerous sexual predator' as loyal. It's also inaccurate. Jagger may be a faithless man but no woman who sleeps with him can have any doubt about who and what he is. Those who accept his money as part of the deal are the predators
And Ps - Marianne, as well as actually having some talent of her own apart from posing in photos, was to my mind a far more influential figure on Mick's development as an artist. She can actually talk about the music and the genesis of the Stones because she was there, unlike Jerry who in band terms was just another hanger on.
...some of what you say..the gossipy part could be true but a lot is bull.
Hall was signed to Ford throughout her marriage to Mick. Sometimes he was supportive sometimes not. Add 4 children and what was a lifestyle largely dictated by his schedule and somehow she still managed to get involved with projects and businesses...some successful many not....for someone worth what he's worth and for someone who was his common law wife for 20 years she probably didn't get enough even though she was pretty successful on her own. Finally, if you don't believe Hall's influence on Mick listen to Evening Gown and watch how supportive he is of L'Wren...and old dog can learn new tricks.

An earlier comment said Hall received $3 million from Jagger as settlement. Is that accurate?
Was Jagger and Hall ever legally married?

My point relates to artistic rather than personal influence. At least you didn't quote "Miss You" as an example of the former but really you can't put EG in the class of Sympathy for the Devil, Wild Horses or any of the stuff Marianne had a hand in. In part that's simply due to chronology - Jerry came into his life after his creative peak was over; same with Keith - I'm sure Patti's influence on his private life is unique but Little T & A hardly measures up to You Got the Silver or Gimme Shelter!

And I was referring to Anita, not Patti, who I think is more beautiful than Anita.
Well, both were Keith's chicks so I guess you answered my question. Keith does have better taste in women.
I'm aware Mick had a thing with Anita.

not fair. ron has to be looked at in historical perspective.
oh as a graphic artist or painter, i won't discuss him; i just can't take it that seriously; it's pop iconography fun if you're into it...is as far as i'd go...some of it is nice...blah blah...
but as guitar; not fair.
i would agree with many others that he's OBVIOUSLY wasted at a lot of shows...whatever the psychological battering of playing the same supporting role in a somebody elses soap opera does to you as an original artist of SUPREME stature w Jeff Beck. Those first two albums are impossible to under-rate or under-estimate imo...it gave birth to the next huge metallic step that everybody, almost, including genius' par excellance on his level of vision, assimilated conciously and learned from absorbed immediately. u cant. well I cant. diss any of that foursome. that is incredible music. incredible talent all way round. like the beatles and stones or the kinks or a lot of the uber greats in that THOSE personalities and influences and leanings were ALL uber essential. again in my opinion.
then on to Faces. i saw them live circa 'nod is as good' and 'long player' in a theatre in new york and ron not only held it down, he lifted it up, he made it soar. it was the heaviest heaviest grooviest rhythm guitar i had ever heard in a loud live band. and think of the other guys...again rod from beck group...i won't get into the faces here we all know who they are...or should avail ourselves of the supreme pleasure if not...
...i'm what they say taylorite i guess because i yes worship mick taylor; Rolling Stone. won't get into that here either. only to say...yes i'd have to equivocate to defend a lot of irresponsibility, drunkeness,...his happy clown keith junior act etc...the guy with the hair cut and the uber pose, perfected long before Faces crashed. Faces grew into a stadium band that could almost rival the Stones in power. they WOULD have, had the 1970, 1971 band been in the 'stadium' era where peeps were drawing huge (in those idiotic awful uglyass concrete mass graveyard soupbowls of acoustic morass and mud and fireworks and loud piano and utter bullshit. ok, everybody got to take responsibility for some of that. but i dn't want to get into that here either. just to say...when ron's on...as he WAS w FAces JUST LAST MONTH. he's a beautiful wonder to listen to and watch. his strengths are effective. he's a wonder and a darling. so, it's a tricky thing.
here in junior high school peeps want fan mag fights taylor vs wood. i don't get into that too much if i can help it. so...ron's flaws are obvious, maybe inexcusable in context...ok. i'm there. but...come one...ron wood is a giant of rock and roll

I'm waiting for the book to come out because
one of my favorite things is calling Keith
a back-stabbing prick
when he shoots off about Mick. Love the guy, but he's hardly qualified to throw stones.

...a lot of harsh words for Ms Hall. The woman's story is an aspirational one and more even when you account for her roots. She is in the entertainment business as is Jagger and Richards.

Unless I missed it, I can't believe nobody called you out on this. It's "normal female behavior" to just accept money and allow their partner to cheat/treat like crap? Sure it happens, but I don't believe it is normal behavior. I for one wouldn't stand for it. You have a very low opinion of women.

I caught that, but gave the benefit of the doubt and assumed "femal" was actually feral behaviour.

Lucian Freud's an amazing painter and it's a great painting. I love the shape of those pregnant tummies - it's a wonderful shape. Most men find their pregnant wives - and their bellies with their kids inside - wonderful to look at. And it brings out the need to protect their offspring - from somewhere down the old human genes.
You're obviously different.
