    I love Keith Richards. Keith can seem cold and stubborn but he's kinda like an older brother, he has a big heart. I like Mick Jagger, he is smooth and charming. He's got that certain flare to him but I feel like he's also bit of a narcissist and kinda got caught up with his own image. I feel that Mick purposely amplified his own image while Keith just rolled with it. That's just my two cents. But I still do love both of them. Someone like Keith needs a Mick and someone like Mick needs a Keith.

    What I most love about these "characters" (if I may call them that) apart from their great music, is they respect and give credit to their influences before them. Keith is truly knowledgeable about blues and rockabilly influences and gives due credit. Paul McCartney the same. Expanding upon who was before you while giving due credit is the greatest act of respect one can give. And they truly EXPANDED music.

When these four gentlemen speak about each other's characteristics, the good qualities n their bad qualities, their ability to play an instrument, the aura and how they come off and make it work after all these years as the band aka Rolling Stones. There should have been more interviews of this nature for the fans to really get to know those four gentlemen on that stage pouring their heart out to the audiences so that there would have been a stronger connection and not an image of what we thought they were. Well now it's too late🎶 let's hope we get a few more years of listening to mick, keith, and Ronnie it was a nice run 🎶🌹🎶 if I were u guys I'd get out now and enjoy the years you have left loving and enjoying your time with family and friends 🌹🎶🌹xo 😃

      Yea but not accepting some bullshit title from some bullshit country-ruling family that aren't even English anyway but German is not the same thing as preaching revolution. It can be dismissing ALL bosses. Anti-establishment does not mean Communist - that's an astonishingly ignorant and childish point of view. Being anti-establishment really encompasses being anti-Communist establishment as well as any other. Not to say Keith Richards is that sophisticated - he unfortunately ruined his brain with far too much alcohol and hard drugs.
      "There can only be a unity of mankind, and therefore good society, when things like nationalism are abolished completely. Nationalism is really just a form of glorified tribalism. You see, real revolution is not physical, but psychological. Every single human being must very seriously and deeply go into themselves, investigate their own psychological structures and dissolve their artificial identities - the ego - which demands tremendous grit and courage - and thereby understand not only themselves but the whole of humanity, the source of true compassion, understanding and intelligence. For you *are* humanity. You are the world in expression." Jiddu Krishnamurti

They use that as a ploy to get into your or my country w a superior standard of living and if they are too stupid or stubborn to assimilate then they down the country which they sought to immigrate. So they are typical illogical liberals. It's like this.. . If you disdain nationalism then why try so hard to come to my country who respects our nationalism, something you proclaim is no good?

    Top class Keith! There is something very disappointing when these anti establishment rebels turn into the establishment when they are older. Then again Jagger is a Tory and supported Thatcher. His mother was an active member of the Conservative party.. I read Keith's autobiography 'Life'. He is the real deal and is still a rebel today. Good on him.

      @@amandadassonville4043 The following is what was wrong with Thatcher: Thatcher did not support gay rights and introduced section 28 which banned schools from learning or promoting anything to do with gays. Jagger himself has been reported to have had gay dalliances, including one with David Bowie.
      Thatcher did not regard herself as a woman nor align herself with other women. Politically she was a man. The following is one of her quotes 'I have heard that feminists hate me and I don't blame them. I hate feminism. It's a poison'. The definition of feminism simply means the concept and belief that men and women are equals. So Thatcher basically believed that men are superior to women. When a bill was proposed to give married couples on benefits their own separate benefits, the rest of her cabinet supported this. She rejected this on the grounds that it would undermine men as the head of the household. She and the queen believed in a patrilineal society. She regarded herself as one of a few exceptional women who could do the job of a man - the rest of us ordinary women should go back to the kitchen. When Rupert Murdoch began publishing photos of topless women in his newspaper The Sun in 1970 for years many women, notably MP Clare Short, tried to end this on grounds that it was degrading to women, presenting women as sex objects and harmful to society. In 1986 Clare presented a bill to ban the publication of pornographic images in newspapers. Unfortunately it was defeated. This was the backdrop behind which 80,000 women are raped, 400,000 women are sexually assaulted in the UK each year as well as two women a week are killed due to domestic violence. Not only that but it created a climate of disrespect towards women and where men openly commented on women's bodies 'look at the tits on that' became a normal phrase men would use in the 1970's. Thatcher refused to support the ban on this, no doubt because Rupert Murdoch was her staunch supporter. After the Jimmy Saville scandal the No More Page 3 campaign began and this eventually ended in 2012. The story begins in 1972 with the miners strike and then in 1974 a second miners strike brought down the Heath government. The Tories knew they had to destroy the power of the National Union of Mineworkers and their plan was set in motion. When Thatcher came to power in 1980 she knew that the one thing standing in her way of a full blown free market, capitalist society was the miners. So she went for them by shutting down mines. One tactic used was criminalization - this involved portraying miners as violent thugs in the Tory press. This tactic had to have a trial run to make sure it would work - this was done in 1972 when the Shrewsbury Pickets were tried and imprisoned for 'conspiracy to intimidate'. This tactic was used against the Hillsborough football fans following the disaster in 1989 when 96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death - innocent football fans were transformed into drunken thugs who caused the disaster themselves, courtesy of Rupert Murdoch and the rest of the right wing press. In 2012 after years of campaigning, the fans were exonerated and the police were blamed for the disaster. No policeman ever faced prison. Thatcher wasn't going to turn on the police who helped her smash the miners. Coal was stockpiled. The year long strike ended in defeat for the miners. She robbed these men of their livelihoods. Since that time things have gone steadily worse for working class people - we have zero hour contracts, 150,000 austerity deaths, foodbanks, the NHS is starved of funds - the list goes on. This is Thatcher's legacy. Yet multi national companies get richer and richer through tax breaks. Thatcher was very close friends with one Jimmy Saville - he used to spend New Year's Eve with her. Despite her advisors drawing attention to questions about his personal life, Thatcher ignored this and got him a knighthood. After his death it was revealed that he was a notorious paedophile. Don't tell me Thatcher didn't know. This woman waged war on the working class people of this country, calling them 'The Enemy Within'. She introduced the Poll Tax which tried to force the poorest person in the poorest accommodation the same as the richest person. Then came the riots which finished her. She spouted a great deal of rhetoric about 'terrorism' - even labelling Nelson Mandela as a terrorist. There is now a statue of Mandela in Parliament Square, London. Her son Mark was involved in a failed coup to overthrow an elected government in Equatorial Guinea, because he wanted to get his hands on their oil. Turns out she had a terrorist in the family all along. This terrorist never spent a day in prison - he hid behind mummy's skirts. So where is all this 'stand on your own two feet' philosophy here? She was also best friends with the terrorist Pinochet. The Suffragettes would have been labelled as terrorists - yet without their sacrifice Thatcher would not have been allowed to vote let alone become the PM.

    Taylor was simply amazing, and interviews with Jagger show that he enjoyed having a true virtuoso guitarist in the band. Even Ritchie Blackmore admits that Taylor is an amazing guitarist. It's too bad Jagger was so unfair to him in songwriting credits. Ofcourse, the Stones probably wouldn't be together today if Taylor had stayed with them. It was Ronnie Woods' diplomacy that kept it from all falling apart in the 80s.

    Those two are like blood brothers. But at the same time something about their relationship screams husband and wife to me. I'm not calling them gay, but aspects of their dynamic are reminiscent of it. They experience emotions very strongly (happiness and sadness) and when Mick said that Keith's not a happy person, he's just saying that nothing he does ever seems good enough for his band mate who's opinion probably means a good deal to him.
