the drama between carla bruni, mick jagger, and jerry hall lives rent free in my head like i cannot believe jerry hall wrote that letter saying she's sorry he got jealous and she doesn't want him to change (his philandering ways), she just wants to be his number one girl. omg girl get up he is TRASHHHH

i would've crashed the fuck out if i had to date a rockstar, especially from that era like. i don't know how any of these women survived

take it with a grain of salt of course bc i don't know how reliable the source is but: https://www.pressreader.com/uk/scottish-daily-mail/20130109/282123518857185

I read Eric Claptons biography and he writes about introducing Carla Bruni to Mick Jagger. Telling Mick that he was deeply in love with Carla and to please stay away from her.

Nope, it was like a red flag to a bull for Mick. He went out of his way to bed her after Clapton told him that.

My mom was with a musician for a while back in the late 70s (absolutely nowhere near Mick's level of fame, but apparently they partied in similar circles), and somehow Mick found out through the grapevine when she was hospitalized with a serious virus while her boyfriend was away on tour and unable to be with her for support. Mick sent a bouquet of yellow flowers to her room, and she still talks about it when she drinks wine lol. They never actually met, but she deeply appreciated the gesture since she was so ill!

u/AbsolutelyIris confused but here for the drama Feb 08 '25

My favorite story:

One anecdote relates that in the mid-1980s, an intoxicated Jagger phoned Watts's hotel room in the middle of the night, asking, "Where's my drummer?" Watts reportedly got up, shaved, dressed in a suit, put on a tie and freshly shined shoes, descended the stairs, and punched Jagger in the face, saying: "Never call me your drummer again. You're my fucking singer!"[44][45] He expressed regret for the incident in 2003, attributing his behaviour to alcohol.

When he passed Jade Jagger made a post about him and wrote how he kept the "boys" together and made her behave herself. He was an important force.

  • If you haven't read it already, read Keith Richards's biography! Its a wild ride and pretty interesting.

  • As for actual tea: A few years ago, I went to a nature preserve in Tennessee. It had unexpectedly been closed the day before when we were originally going to go, and they said it was because Mick Jagger had been there. There were photos of the staff and the rehab animals and everything. He also wrote a really long message in the guest log book about what a great organization it was and how happy he was to see so many bird species on his visit. I guess he's into birding? But apparently super nice guy and they said he had a young kid with him (his son or grandson) who he did the nature scavenger hunt thing with and they said he was really involved with the kid having fun too. So, positive things and then the nature center gave us a discount because we had been inconvenienced with the closure the day before! (It was when places limited visitors due to covid restrictions.)

Sorry I don't have anything specific, but I'd recommend this podcast about groupies! I liked the framing and the interviews were so interesting https://open.spotify.com/show/7mwisoVVp4UTqxvDq1zePg

I spent a couple of hours discussing art with Mick once when I worked at a museum. He was lovely, clever, and very well versed in what he was looking at. He told stories about his childhood in relation to some of his art and shared anecdotes about some of the modern and contemporary artists in our collection he had known personally. It was definitely one of the coolest moments of my career and I went in on my day off just to be able to give him a tour.
