I agree Mick is amazing and gives 100% every time. But he is a good actor and an excellent performer. I imagine he would have to be faking a bit to project genuine excitement while singing some of the tunes he has sang so many times before.
But that's what a good performer does, he is one of the best if not the very best. We will never know what he truly feels about the songs because his job is to project passion about all the music, and no one can accuse Mick of not doing his job. I'd bet his true passions are as complex and diverse as the man himself.

Agree, probably the best frontman ever. And it is him who keeps the Stones going.
I am not sure about your second point. If the widely accepted view (that the playlist is down to Mick) is true, then he can easily make it much more interesting for himself (and for us).

When he does his quips in foreign languages, you should conclude there is a joke writer involved.

It would not surprise me, even in English he says some very very funny things...Quote

Always though Mick was pretty good in the humor department, especially in his later years. There is much underlying humor in his dry, cynical interview answers even and when he makes fun of himself it is refreshingly great. I imagine his humor is more the slow fuse intellectual type (not necessarily PC) that we don't often get to see for most public appearances.
The scene in "Being Mick" where he makes fun of the German airline agent who asks him for his papers is hilarious.

... you now, he's not the only Stone who benefits or is involved with those decisions. So why is he the only Stone blamed, like 99.99% of the time?

I suppoes, to use a football comparison, because Mister Mick is the Quarterback, and the QB is the one who is given most of the glory but also shoulders most of the blame, no matter that it is a team effort.
I have have always liked Mick's big cheese smile and his eyes get all squinty and twinkle and he seems truly happy... it has been a treat to see that glimmer from 10-15 feet away.
Good ole Mick, he is fun, he is cool...
they write songs about hoe he moves...
