Thanks for the update. Looks like Marc has just about lost it. A huge day for him.

Thank you for posting!

Cool interview & good questions. Looking forward to the KR interview

Two of my favorite people of all time in the media/music world talking together!!!

I put a Maron quote at the end of my book You Get What You Need. :-) I guess he will have to go to
Petco Park now, huh? Mick said he'd make sure he and his friends would have a "special place."

I want to listen to the interview in context of the whole podcast tonight.

A different interview, not "great" in any way, but informal and down to earth. Hilarious that Sir Michael will "make a special place" for him and his buddies although they are not young model girls...
Very daring of him to ask about Keith and Mick Taylor in almost the same sentence. But I guess he's unaware about Sir Michael's reputation when it comes to unwanted questions.
He didn't dare to follow up the questions though. Which probably was a wise decision. He didn't titule the Commander either. He simply called him Mick...

Hey Mick.....How about your IORR fans going to the San Diego show? Can we sit with Marc, also????? What about us, Mick? Who is that Marc, guy, anyway, when you've know us longer than him?! You can message me. lol

Are you a young model girl Straycat 13, as your username implies? Then you shouldn't worry. Just give him a call...

Oh...ok! Thanks!

Yeah...he didn't answer...Maybe I'll try the bat phone.

Thanks, Justin! That was a nice listen.

I also miss Bill's dancing...

I wonder what happened with James Brown back in 1981. "Oh no, I'm not going to open for those skinny English boys again..."

Great interview. I loved that he went for the obvious questions -- I mean obvious to us -- about the music (including the Sticky Fingers reissue), setlists, Mick Taylor, his relation to Keith, and Bill Wyman. I mean, those are basically the top 5 subjects here on IORR. Feels like Marc has the hardcore fan's perspective and didn't compromise too much. Judging by the interview he succeeded pretty well, considering that Mick at least sounded happy throughout.

of course its a no. Its a Mick No . .

Actually, I think the number one issue is....."can we expect any NEW product from the Stones any time soon?".

This guy ADMITS he has not seen them since 1981!!! Geesh

Nothing wrong with that. He was 18 when he saw that show. By the time the Stones toured again Maron was focused on building his stand up career. Not sure how much you know about young struggling comedians but they don't have extra cash to spend on $200 concert tickets.

...It was a mere 30 to 40 $ in those days (1989) Justin.

And it never skyrocketed before No Security.

Listening to the lead-up to Mick on the complete podcast....funny/interesting stuff.

Maron at first says he doesn't want to do the interview since he only does hour-long talks, not ten minute clips.
Luckily he said he has to talk to his producer who tells him, what, are you crazy, of course you want to talkto Mick Jagger!
Thinking back, he realizes how arrogant his first thoughts were and how mistaken.

Then Mick is late on the call so Maron asks the liason person how long it will be, insists he needs a window of time. Satisfied when he is told another half hour/45 minutes (I think), he and his friend leave the garage where the show is done, and the phone immediately starts ringing. Luckily, he runs back to answer it, saying hello and hearing Mick's voice.

Looking forward to hearing the Keith interview on Monday...

"Hi, Sir, how are you doing"?

'A huge fan' who hasn't seen them since '81? Yeah, whatever.
Interesting comments from Mick though. Makes you think you need to give them a bit of slack on the set lists. As he says, they try things out, and some stuff just doesn't work. Good interview though!

He tried to sort of "extort" the Stones/promoters at the last second for more $$$. They called his bluff. I was there - Screaming Jay was cool

I am so happy the Taylor question was asked - it is an obvious question. The crap about Taylor not in the band any longer is junk. Let me tell you who also isn't in the band - Lisa, Bernard, Darrell Jones - and they're still there! Damn.

It is a fact that MT is not in the band any longer.

Stones are like the North Korean dictatorship: hard to tell what's really going on behind the scenes; little palace coups staged by Keith; rank propaganda; etc.

north korea? they only owe us great shows. which they deliver on. i found mick to be unbelievable in 2013. singing better than at 25. if keith would put in 10% of the work mick does we would have best stones ever. they only have to satisfy themselves. they only have to answer to themselves.
never understood this "diehard fan" refusal to acknowledge they were ripped-off for millions of dollars in the sixties. or all the other BS grief they have to put up with to go out on the road as the rolling stones.

You do get a sense of that don't you, all very "hush, hush", Keith not being informed of what's going on (Taylor overdubs on PMS, or the planning for the 5 50th shows, etc...). And what was it that Bianca called the Stones organization ? Right...

There clearly isn't a lot of communication going on...wasn't it Chuck who said he was amazed to see them get back to rehearsing after years off the road after saying quick hellos?

I'll use a gentler analogy, then.

They're like God letting Moses only look at the promised land, but not enter into it. I've defended Mick and his exceptional work ethic many times, here and in other media. But, collectively, they charge too much, their set lists are too rigid, and the shows are too short. Springsteen may not be your cup of tea, maybe it's an unfair comp, but the guy has played probably 80% or more of his officially released catalog in the last six years. His shows are a more satisfying experience *for his fans*.

Mick wills the machine to go, go, go, but, for a variety of reasons — Keith's health and erratic playing, his own overabundance of caution and lack of imagination — the machine just runs in place.

Diplomatic in so far as "it was great, we only thought it would only be one show in London and we went round the world", ok, but duh..."I don't think he's coming on this", ok.

Why is it when Mick Jagger says 'we' when referring to what remains of the Stones, that I only here 'I'?

Glad Marc asked about Bill as well

And how did Mick 'diplomatically' handle that one?
