Another cool Mick Jagger interview posted by "60 Minutes Australia" last month, from early 1984.

Very funny to hear the Rupert Murdoch mention at 6:30.

Quite a good interview, really.

The interviewer is a little antagonistic, and Jagger handles it well.

I can't say I've watched many interviews with the Stones, but when I do, I'm stunned by how so many attempt to cut them down, constantly bringing up age, womanizing, and drug habits while implying that it's time to retire. It seems to begin at day one, and it almost exceeds the reality. At least by the '90s, that talk should be done with, except for the issue of retirement, I suppose, but all these issues are foregrounded in the Ed Bradley interview, and especially the press conference for the Voodoo Lounge tour. Journalists are out with knives.

Has anything been written about this contentious relationship between the Stones and the press? It's like the press are eager to catch them falter or fail. It's never a pleasant exchange.

It seems to me if you notice as to how she asks the questions, Mick's at times stockroom physical responses aside, she's exactly framing what you said in that context - why are people still curious about all of that bullshit, which she was as clear as could be about, how 40 isn't that old etc.

At least that's what I got out of it. She was spot on in her spirit, to me, anyway, in how she came about why she had the questions she had.

Mick gives himself away quite freely. It's obvious when he's ok with what someone is asking because he doesn't turn into a smart ass with her.

Not that they need be treated dispectfully or bored to death by the same angles,
they seem to understand that up to a point; everything printed with
the name of their brand helps serve the press function dynamic in their business
and further branding as new generations of fans come and mature and move on;
they are a something of an Institution now,
not merely risking
being imprisoned in one, again, as of days of yore.
He's a Knight; he is the government lol....
but your points are well taken and well expressed and i appreciate them.
They don't take the early Lou Reed route, sort of a more insolent take
on the way His Bobness dealt with them in Don't Look Back....
...that i don't care what you write; it's not real nobody really cares...
kinda take-down as they moved in on him....
....
At point a 'journalist' asks Lou if he's happy about something,
he responds:
"Are You Happy Being A Schmuck?"

"Do you take drugs?"
"No."

"What do you spend your money on?"
"Drugs."?
