"Life's just a cocktail party on the street

To live in this town you must be tough, tough, tough, tough, tough!

Rats on the west side

Bed bugs uptown

And look at me, I'm in tatters

What a mess, I've been shattered

My brain's been battered

splattered all over Manhattan"....

A very old Hifi system. Who knows the speaker brand ?
I always wonder what Hifi equipment they have at home.

"we know it's a bit late but we hope you don't mind if we stay"

I wonder more about what records they have--what are those on the floor?

cool. Interesting insight.

Looks like what you imagine a sterotyped millionaire's home to look.

From, "Let's drink to the hard working people" to this. I don't mind people achieving luxury through their hard work...but exploiting the salt of the earth... not so much.

This may get me booted from here after many years, but @#$%& Mick Jagger.

And get off my lawn.

Note the artwork (charcoal?) by Francesco Clemente above the fireplace -- the one on the left was used for the cover of the"One Hit (To The Body)" 12".

Is that a framed dollar sign over the fireplace on page 124??? Hmmm...

It's a painting by Andy Warhol.

LOL! Good catch! Somehow not surprising that's what Mick would have there.

It's lovely, much nicer than his current apartment with L'Wren.

Very elaborated, very hobo chic. Rock and roll buorgeoisie. So this is where street fighting men find their rest? You wonder if Sir Michael did any cleaning there?

Beats me why people wanna show off their private living space to the general public, except money for nothin.

Was probably state of the art when the article was published in 1988

YAMAHA NS-1000M MONITOR.....or one of it's close variants.
There are quite a few, as they evolved over the years form the mid 70s, thu to the late 90s ...when the AD pics above were taken in 1988, it was a very desirable speaker.
Very good sound,to excellent, world class monitor, often used in reference systems or in broadcast studios.

.,,,,YEah owned a pair of NS1000 ......
.....Built like a Sherman tank ......precise But man are they are top end harsh

Sometimes newest is not the best when it comes to audio equipment. Some very old speakers can give great sound, and people keep them out of preference, not because they can't afford to upgrade.

That's still Top Speakers!
I never will give away!

It`s nice to be here, .....

I stood outside this townhouse a few years ago after Mick and Jerry split. Elizabeth Jagger moved in subsequently, but it might have been post-Lizzy, too; I don't think she lives there now. The townhouse is fairly near the Strawberry Fields memorial in Central Park, and a block or two away from the Dakota building (Upper West Side).

One Hit (To the Body) 12" single cover:


Warhol did variations on dollar signs. I imagine Mick's was a gift from Warhol.



And he did a bunch of others.

This isn't a "hifi" but actually looks like an old 80's Tascam 246 Portastudio 4 Track Cassette Recorder which had a built in 6 Channel Mixer. They weren't powered so the thing to the right of it may be the amp? This setup was clearly for Mick to do his own demos at home. Note the blue tambourine between the Mesa Boogie amp and the Gibson Hummingbird guitar.

(following said sarcastically) I like how all of Mick's musical gear is like shoved in the back behind those happening red couch & chair that they might of purchased at an airport lounge supply store?

Mick says: "Jerry darling why are all of my music gear just shoved back there behind those hideous red airport chairs? Heathrow have a second hand sale?

Jerry says: " Naw, I needed more room for my Biedermeier armoire and 19th century temple jar collection" said model and "ACTRESS" Jerry Hall

Mick should then say: "Listen bitch, WHAT do you think PAYS for your trips to James II to buy china, tableware and your "rare linen sheet collection"? (as well as their 5 story townhouse on W 81st St)

I don't see how he plays guitar with those big ass arms on that chair? Not an armless chair in sight. Wonder if on the demos does Charlie have any trouble following the percussion tracks that Mick has laid down with that blue tambourine?

You want to see more of the same? Check out some more of what we've all been helping to pay for, Mick & L'Wren's Paris crib:

same as it ever was.......

Incidentally, Jed Johnson, the interior designer mentioned in the article, died in the TWA Flight 800 disaster (in 1996), related in the video below (maybe Bill Wyman has a point!):



Johnson is holding little Jade in this pic:

Every wife of a famous person or entertainer is either an interior decorator or clothing designer.

I always say anyone can be a designer if you have a unlimited budget. You learn fast.

Does anyone know if he still owns this place? I don't think he does. Does he own any homes in New York anymore? I don't think he has any houses in America any longer.

Jed Johnson initially swept floors for Warhol, and then moved up to interior design.

This from Wikipedia: "He picked out a townhouse for Warhol on East 66th street and designed its interiors. He lived there with Warhol for a number of years."

So Johnson was rather a famous person's wife.

Jed Johnson also directed ANDY WARHOL'S BAD.

I didn'tknow Johnson died in a plane crash....

An article on the victims of the crash (also on-board was Wayne Shorter's wife):

[www.nytimes.com]

Jed Johnson was looking to get a new business going, and what better place to shop for exquisite antiques than Paris.

Mr. Johnson, 47, was an interior decorator who, in collaboration with his life partner, Alan Wanzenberg, an architect, had reached the top echelon of his profession. The dwellings of the wealthy and the celebrated bore his inimitable stamp. Richard Gere. Mick Jagger. Andy Warhol.

He burst into public notice in the late 1960's and early 1970's as a close companion of Mr. Warhol's. It was Mr. Johnson who found and at least partly decorated Mr. Warhol's apartment on East 66th Street, and he lived there himself from 1975 to 1980. He served as an editor on several Warhol films, and directed the 1977 movie "Andy Warhol's Bad."

John Clausen, his assistant, said that Mr. Johnson was embarking on a textiles business and was bound for Paris on Flight 800 to establish textile connections and to hunt for antiques.

Yesterday afternoon, friends of Mr. Johnson and Mr. Wanzenberg, including Fran Leibowitz, the writer, and Pat Hackett, the editor of Mr. Warhol's diaries, gathered at the couple's apartment on West 67th Street. Steven M. L. Aronson, a writer, remembered meeting Mr. Johnson in the early 1970's:

"I used to see him every day walking those famous dachshunds in the park. He was soft-spoken, but there was something radiant about him."
