Ok...I imagine he says..
"Mick's Mick. Hasn't changed. That's what I love about him.
Whatever makes him happy, man."
I wasn't insulting you, but whether you realize it or not, you're clearly projecting your personal values onto Mick and Keith simply by the way you talk about them.Quote

keefriff99You're projecting your value system onto Mick and Keith. You have no idea what's going on in Mick's head...he may be completely happy living the way he does. Obviously monogamy and serious relationships don't suit him.Quote

Good for Mick!
Love that he's still more than able to attract young beautiful girls.
What two (or more) consenting adults do, which harms no one, is nobody's business but theirs..
Of course he's more than able to attract young girls, he still has what it takes, the dough of course. You can see old rich otherwise disgusting guys with young ass anywhere in any large city. Doesn't have to be MJ or Jimmy Page, just Mr. Capitalist Bigbucks is good enough. Big wallet outweighs tiny todger any day.
Sad to see Mick carrying on like this, unable to relate physically to anyone with remotely his experiences. If he would bring her to a family gathering, would she hang out with Mick's grandchildren?
It' s kind of funny . . . proud old Keith, gnarled fingers only letting him hint at what he used to play but he's out there playing what he can and he goes home to the bosom of his loving family while Mick, arguably at the peak of his performing talent, plays out this sad private existence, chased by ghosts. Sad.
I'm 39 and have no desire to settle down or have kids. I was engaged but we broke it off...it wasn't for me. I have my friends and family and job, I date women, and I don't get lonely. I prefer an existence where I have the freedom to do what I want.
You know nothing about my value system, what you know about me is that I think that Keith has a much happier life and that a 70+ year old guy serially cavorting with and then discarding women younger than his daughters, and then moving on to women younger than his granddaughters, is bizarre and sad. No, he doesn't have to do much chasing, no rich guys do. And yes, his exes may not have to work for a living after he discards them, although citing Mr. Scott to prove that point was perhaps not the best example of MJ's chivalry (not you).
Why would you think I have a problem with you as a single man should you wish to serially date single women? More power to you and I am a little jealous. However, if you tell me that you prefer to date 19-year olds (obviously you didn't say that), that might be a little weird. But if you told me your father has taken up dating 19 year olds, that wouldn't really be the same thing, would it?
Imagine what Keith thinks/says in private.
Damn, how the hell could you even make that comparison?? There is a HUGE difference between being a playboy and being a sexual predator.Quote

Mick's behavior would be considered weird across a wide variety of cultures.
It's interesting that even in Hollywood today, these type of exploits are starting to cost people their careers (Weinstein, Spacey). Mick lives in the last corner of the world in which it's sort of winked at.

perhaps something about tiny todger....
They didn't break societal norms. They broke LAWS, and got away with it because their wealth and fame made it difficult for men and women to come forward with their stories.Quote

The comparison I am making is that Weinstein and Spacey broke societal norms for years and it was winked at or even celebrated in their own worlds, and then one day the press decides to make it a story, the broader public is shocked and their careers are over.
Could it happen to Jagger? Probably not, at his age, and not really being relevant in the broader culture anymore.
But if somebody like Bruce Springsteen left his wife for a 22-year-old girl it would damage his career.

NOTHING like that has ever been alleged with Mick. He's a playboy, he's promiscuous, he's unfaithful, and he's treated his exes coldly from a relationship standpoint, but that's the extent of it.
Perhaps, but he's taken his share of PR hits over the years, particularly for the Luciana Morad affair.Quote

Even if that's all of it, my point is that the rules for a public figure can change overnight. Instead of Mick being celebrated in some quarters for his behavior and having other shrug, it could have cost him dearly.

Kevin Spacey forced himself on a 14 year old actor, and there have been articles published in the past few years about how predatory and forceful he could be towards young men. Weinstein masturbated in front of women, cornered them, intimidated them, harassed them and assaulted them.

If Mick, by virtue of his charm, fame and money, can attract young women, that's up to the two of them and is none of our business. A 22 year old is an adult in this country.
Creeps like Weinstein and Spacey by contrast deserve to be exposed and ostracized, if not prosecuted if laws were broken.
It was more physical than that.Quote

I thought he hit on him, not forced himself on him?
