Happy Birthday, Mick Jagger

     I guess I was born in the wrong Era to be talking about the Rolling Stones lead singer, Mick Jagger, on his 82nd birthday. I guess...being born into a family that loves not only the Beatles but Rolling Stone as well as Bruce and many others...is a gift on its own. 

 He was born into a middle-class family in 1943 back in England, in the 60's is when he started out in Rolling Stones. They had hits from 'Gimmie Shelter', "Jumpin' Jack Flash.", "Ruby Tuesday", "I can't get no (Satisfaction)" and many more. 

  The band started out in a basement club where they played for barely any money. It was him as the lead, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and a few others. Sadly, there have been some deaths like the drowning of Keith Moon, their first drummer. Around the 70s and 80s they had more songs like "Start Up" and "Beast of Burdan"

     In the 80's Mick tried to go solo for a while. He ended up doing a duet music video with David Bowie called "Dancing in the Street". It was unique video of David and Mick just dancing and singing. They performed the song on live aid in 1985. 

  With Mick and Keith....it's more a friend/enemy territory. Like Paul and John from the Beatles before the other two joined. They knew each other when they were young and had gone through a lot of challenges with family and have stuck together as brothers even through the hard times.

    He even guest voice on a Simpsons episode with Keith Richards when Homer wanted to join a rock group camp that Mick and Keith both are councilors there. Mick said he had a blast helping Homer and then destroying his dreams near the end.

    With his personal life, he had some marriages. One from Bianca Perez and Jenny Hall. They both ended sour. 

   In some cartoons and TV shows, they create a character that is similar the rolling stone lead singer in every way.

  Might not his voice, but they make their character look similar to Mick Jagger. One show being Loud House where Luna Loud is a huge fan of a singer named Mick Swagger. Pretty close to Mick Jagger isn't it.

 Mick has been mentioned in songs like "Moves like Jagger" from Maroon 5, his jumpsuit in the Rock n Roll Hall of fame and he's still going strong performing songs for the Rolling Stones, but I feel he might retire by the end of next year. They always have a farewell tour for the band and well... they seem to still be here...Well some of them. Happy birthday Mick Jagger. May you amaze us still with all the music you perform.
