Here we go......... Mick Jagger The man behind The Mascara.....by liz Derringer..... MJ is more than just a singer in a R&R band.For the 18 years he s fronted the R&S he has been one of rocks most fascinating and mysterious personalities.The Jagger Mystiqee has been fueled in large part by his lyrics.Which range from moon June love plaints to discussions of faustian mysticism.All delivered in a deft yet offhand manner that makes the singer seem credible in the song.His feel for interpreting black American blues singers has helped the R&Snmake their reputation as one of th best white blues bands.His extramusical exploits,from affairs with models and socialites to this history-making liaisons with M Fatfull and B Jagger,have always been top -line news.Even when the R&S are out of the public eye Jagger is ever present-Socialite.sex symbol,the man everyone reconizes....Despite the notoriety and social graces.Jagger is an extremely private person who has consistenly refused over the years to open himself up in interview situations,preferring to adopt a mocking tone when journalist turnon their mics I order to get a truer pic of the real Jagger,the man who shows himself to his friends in private moments,High Times sent Liz Derringer,wife of guitarist Rick Derringer and a pesonal friend of Jaggers to visit Mick and his girlfriend,model J Hall, in their NY town house last new years eve for an exclusive interview....As the champagne flowed, liz drew jagger out,and a more complete pic of the star emerged.recounting the experience,liz found jagger''çonservative,very human,always joking,making faces like a little boy,hardworking,always up,yet not @#$%& up on drugs. A good friend,she seems to fight off the sexuality, wwhile frankly discussing affairs. as he speaks she recalls, his focus is intent. his blue green eyes are characteized by a spark of brown in his left iris that looks like a sunspot and is just one of the several alluring aspects of his apeal....Here then is the result............High Times: Why do you move around so much?
