It occurs to me after reading Mick's comments on marriage and dating that perhaps he is the true bohemian, rather than Keith, at least on this issue. Keith has become a married Suburban Gentleman, while Mick describes a nine-year relationship as "kind of dating" and still adheres to his view that marriage isn't for him.

Sorry to disagree so strongly with whoever said MIck wasn't a GIFT....he has been a gift to me, especially when most other things in my life have disintegrated to pure CRAP! I've been able to return to my favorite memories of concerts and other favorite Mick moments and it really has helped me to turn off those other damaging thoughts. I can always " turn the channel" and go to my Stones network. So, yeah, he is a gift alright!

That's one view. Or you could look at it like Keith is romantic and loyal, whilst Mick is cold, unemotional.

Even if the interview was the usual phantom-esque, shadow boxing with this elusive master -- still very entertaining. Nobody makes saying nothing as interesting as Jagger.

sweetcharmedlifeI am currently reading the book. From what I've read so far and from his promotion of it. It still looks like he is trying to promote brand Keith. Basicly I'd rather he wrote a song instead of a book.Quote

"Everyone does. I don’t care what they say. Everyone cares about it. You always want to control your image. I mean, you obviously can’t control it 100 percent. But if you’re a famous person, you obviously have a public personality that you try . . . that you want to project.”
Great,Mick and Keith are running around trying to promote their images. I like the images that guys like Charlie Watts,Ron Wood and Mick Taylor project. Musicians.
SCL, why do you say Keith is running around trying to promote his image? That's Mick's quote above; not Keith. I can't remember from your posts: have you read Keith's book yet? clearly he's trying to deconstruct some of his image, and the whole notion of needing an image. As he says, it's still there but he's trying to slough it off and just be him. You can publish an autobiography and not be about promoting an image

I said to me, if you'd pay attention to the whole post instead of focusing on the not a gift part, maybe you'd understand that. If you feel differently that's your right.
Some of us have a way of looking at things that's more based in reality, not fantasy. Not everyone buys into what the Stones are selling as much as you do. Deal with it.

Earlier in the thread: bonobo monkeys, they're notoriously promiscuous.

I don't agree with the last statement. Mick's r'ship with L'Wren has lasted longer than his r'ships with Marianne and Carla Bruni or his marriage to Bianca. In light of that, I think his expressed views on fidelity are insulting to her.

Mick does not need to say that he loves L´Wren in an interview, if he does not like to talk about his private life. It does not make him a cold person if he does not say it publicly. If you read what L´Wren says in interviews it shows how close they are and how much they identify with each other.
Most intelligent post of the last week ........Take a bow and shout yaself a drink...

You have to read between the lines with Jagger, as Keith said in Q Magazine at the time of the Exile reissue..'He's full of shit, he says the opposite of what he thinks...'
But he is entertaining as hell, but it always leaves you with the same impression, like a Rubik's Cube.

My theory is that
a) as he explains in the beginning of this interview he does not care what people say about him and that everybody has a public image, and
b) with his last comment he feeds that image, so that he really can have privacy inside the bubble of his private life.

I am no way expert in this but I recall L'wren's and Mick's r'ship been what used to be called "open one", and it goes both ways, and for this reason she is a perfect match for Mick (I don't think if "free relationship" is a right word but at least it is not a traditional one). They seem to think alike. They don't look or sound like some a young couple making a tight team, looking for a home to rise children but more like two adults who are past that and now are terms with their own life and emotions. And it seems to work. From an outlook, two observations:
(1) Jagger has not been "romantically linked" with anyone since he started dating L'wren. Or do I recall wrong? Now that is something...
(2) Mick seem to never want to "show up" with L'Wren for his image. It was totally different with Marianne, Bianca and Jerry. They are just spotted together by paparazzi, etc. but they don't seem to look after the limelight. Their relationship is not anything publicly visible or projected. They seem to enjoy for being private.
I think both of those points indicate that Jagger has perhaps finally founded a perfect relationship, or just has grown up...

there is nothing private about their relationship. He attends every single one of her presentations, gets photographed, even co hosted recepetions etc etc etc. Neither has a publicist..and he especially when he's off tour.

Bottom line, I hope he is truly happy and has achieved a measure of peace and real contentment. If L'Wren keeps him content and sane, more power to both of them. I still think that she is very smart but has not been entirely truthful. I believe that her proclaiming that Mick can do as he pleases was a smart ploy to PRETEND to give him what he thinks he wants...his freedom. Jerry bitched about his infidelities and I believe if she played L'Wren's game, Mick would have stayed with her.
I could be entirely wrong and perhaps she really has no desire to possess him or keep him faithful. She may live for the day, who knows. I guess I am putting myself in her place; by playing a game that will trick Mick into being the one worrying about her where abouts when they're apart, he remains faithful. I just know that when I've acted indifferently towards a man, he seemed to chase a lot harder. Does this make sense to any of the ladies here?

eck....all this back and forth is boring...
Didn't Mick say in his article that he had an answer for L'Wren when she mentioned the swan thing, about mating for life?!
The more you love someone, the more possessive you are. There's no way that she'd be happy with Mick sleeping around. But since Mick has been spoiled by women, meaning that Marianne, Bianca, Jerry, and L'Wren have all put up with it, and since it's either "take it or leave it, that's the way it's going to be", Mick sleeps around, and L'Wren has to accept it or leave. And where would she go? She loves him. And he loves her, too.

That's his first public appearance after 2 months ridicule and all he has to say - 'Personally I think its really quite tedious raking over the past. Mostly, people only do it for money.'
It seems there is nothing Keith can do to break this heart of stone

Whatever...
I don't mean to be disrespectful, but it's their business. Everyone sees it how they want to see it. Only they know the truth and why he says the things he does to the press. (He's 67, btw.)
