I don't care what Tina says i don't pick up that Mick is a particularly good story teller or that he talks more than anyone else, he is however witty and funny at times, perhaps he saves the story telling part of himself for close friends and family because there is little evidence of it from interviews available to us.
Some may have continued to read your "perhaps" qualifiers, but C'mon.
He mixes up everything and just see's what he wants to see because he likes to put people into boxes, he will choose to miss out the bit that says Mick is funny and witty and saves his story telling to the people closest to him.
MisterDDD is one of the reasons its impossible for me to enjoy posting here on iorr, which is a pity because i like the guy as a fan, he just likes to police things to the point of trying to take away the right of opinion unfortunately.

Easy mistake.
Just as easily as some like to "mick bash", I like to very rarely answer it back. Deal.

Mick is a complex guy with many sides. I think he has it in him to write a great auto bio but he's very guarded. I can see him talking himself out of it before he even starts.

Interesting little info by Tina. I can't say I am totally surprised, despite the fact that a 'great storyteller' is not something Mick has come across in public. But as pointed here, Jagger has always been very guarded and there is not much we can imply from the basic of his public appearances. Most likely his friends and family know a very different Jagger than we do. I recall reading in Marianne's bio saying something similar what Tina says, but more importantly, Jagger told all the time to Marianne that never show any real emotions of anything of your private self in public - just be 'cool'. That was something Marianne had problems with. And if memory serves that was the hardest part to live with Mick Jagger. To have that strong distinction between private and public life/selves.
By contrast, Keith Richards comes across as a great story-teller in public, but I don't think that trait is any natural born ability. To me that looks like a part of "Keef" image, a part of the game to cope with the public he has learned and developed along the years. Actually I have always always admired Keith's self-development and self-creation from this young, shy and quiet inward-going person from London suburbs to this international man of world, whose charisma and stories can charm anyone. By his own actions and and self-creation he has turned almost to be like a Nietszhean super-man to define all his own norms and conducts (not that the other Twin isn't anything less as far as ethics and way of life goes). One of the reasons I was a bit disappointed with LIFE was that of that story was left out - Keith's recollections and re-descriptions of the past came all through from the recent perspective - like he had been this self-secure outward-going "Keef" character straight from the beginning. He denies that he ever has been anything else. One of the oddest things about Keith's self-reflection is that of denying that he is or ever been 'shy'- something we have heard from so many sources who know the man very well - from his mother to Jagger, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts. I have always wondered why is that such a big issue for Keith, because I don't see anything 'bad' in being a shy person.

This is the sort of stuff we run into all the time if everything is not always complementary about Mick. Its tiresome. Just in this thread alone that hasn't had any insults towards Mick.
MisterDDD . Just as easily as some like to "mick bash", I like to very rarely answer it back. Deal.
The Mick hate runs deep
Its as though any opinion that is not complementary, or seen to differ from the majority is seen as hate or bashing, this is what's wrong with the world today on a much broader sense, reality is based on what most people agree to believe, but is it the truth, is the majority opinion of this band from posters the whole truth, and this uncharacteristic reality of the Stones, from a band that began as anti establishment, the Stones were rebellious outlaws, they took a brave stance with two fingers pointed at authority, my how times have changed especially as far as their fans are concerned. Take Keith for instance, he's only too happy to tear apart other bands and insult today's performers, he's not so PC, even Mick still has this energy and refuses to be taken over by the new upstarts or put down as too old to Rock, he bloody mindedly continues to be the biggest most successful performer on the planet, he threw away the rule book, he makes his own reality, no matter he is 75, he refuses to lay down and pass over the gauntlet, in their own way they are still rebelling, that's the reality of the Stones today, still coming out fighting refusing to go along with expectation or what others think they should do because they are old .That's why i love this band, not for the crusty old farts that try to censor opinions on here.

"He can outtalk anyone on the planet". Judging from that statement I get the impression that Tina isn't a well-read person. A rather silly assertion to begin with. I think we are jumping to conclusions here.

Misspelled.. "This is the the sort of stuff we run into rarely" for those of us who constantly find a way to bash him, regardless of the thread".
What a load of dribble.
It's not about genuine criticism or differing opinions.
It's about the ridiculous lengths some go to in their efforts to insult or minimize the "Commander". Including repeatedly imagining they know more than the first hand accounts of people who do as example. Hate may be too strong, but the personal resentment is prevalent and consistent by several posters.
Sorry you took such personal offense at my pushback.
Personally, I couldn't care less about your opinion of me or my posts.
More accurately I guess I could, and now do.

Her quote on Jagger is from an interview about what she reads.......she seems fairly diverse and constant in her reading material.....maybe not as well read as DOGBARF_ROOM_TEN_oh_9.....but what do I know?
