Mick Jagger is EIGHTY,who recalls Ned Kelly

I remember seeing Ned Kelly what a terrible actor was our beloved Mick.
I first bought Beatles records in the very early 60's and went to the Cavern to see them after work many times but The Stones where something else !! when my dad heard me playing the first Stones record I bought "Come On" he said he had never heard such rubbish and that they wouldn't last very long how wrong was he .

I went to the location of where Ned Kelly had the shoot out with the Victorian Police.
The train station itself shows where all the shootings occured, although the station is fenced off,due to low footfall.
Surprised that the 1970 version of the film was all filmed in New south Wales.

Saw them at Twickenham in 2003 I think it was, I never was a Beatles fan, always The Rolling Stones.
Mick always had, still has, an air of insouciance about him.

I am amazed that my younger relatives all went to see The Stones in Hyde Park recently. It's fantastic really. They were never my cup of tea but I saw them twice in the 60s, once when Brian Jones was with them. My friends were going so I tagged along.

I don't remember him from Ned Kelly I never saw it! Mick and The Rolling Stones were very much part of my growing up years, they were the ultimate "bad boys" of the day. They've had amazing staying power, to think they're still performing. I'm so glad Keith is still with us given what's passed through his system over the years, he will always be the ultimate rock star who has tried the lot but nevertheless comes across as a nice person.

Mick's body is doing very well for 80, not so sure about the face though!

Alas I never saw them on stage, but did frequently drive past Mick's house when he lived atop of Richmond Hill, allegedly Jerry would wander down the hill to deposit some of her no longer wanted clothes in the local charity shop.

Sassysayso yes, the music industry was diabolical in the way that young people were exploited, and not just financially.
The recent documentary about The Bay City Rollers bears this out

Mick is a very shrewd business man, Nanna8
And reputably as tight as a gnat’s chuff

Learnt the hard way when early contracts ensured the boys themselves only received a pittance

My DH saw The Stones supporting The Everly Brothers and Bo Diddley in Derby in 1963.
He was 17.

I’ve found the poster.

It was a Don Arden presentation, the legendary music mogul and father of Sharon Osbourne

He is and always has been a very shrewd financial manager, Mick. Great singer and entertainer but not much of an actor except when he is acting what he wants the public to think about him. He never was a true ‘bad boy’ unlike some of the others, too smart for that.

I met Mick when he came into a record shop that I worked at on Saturday’s. Must have been about 1964. The Stones were doing a gig at the theatre across the road. All I remember is that he was skinny. Saw the Stones at the same theatre twice the next couple of years. Didn’t hear any music as us girls stood on the seats and screamed the whole way through. Didn’t see Ned Kelly.

My friend’s OH was a roadie for the Stones about 20 years ago when people thought they were on the brink of retiring but they’re still going. He used to say that Mick was a great bloke and super fit.

I remember Ned Kelly but wasn't too impressed by Mick's acting!

Phwoah! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

So can I foxygloves. I was never a fan of Cliff but Omar Sharrif ……

1970 is hardly "way back"!
We graduated and got married that year.
I can remember much further back than that! Tommy Steele and "Little White Bull", for instance or Russ Conway and "Sidesaddle"
Cliff Richard in "Summer Holiday" and (be still my beating heart) Omar Sharif in "Doctor Zhivago"

I saw Mick Jagger when he first started out around 1963 The Rolling Stones were only just coming on the scene they were my alternative to the clean cut Beatles loved the rawness in those early days all the parents and grandparents hated them which made them even more attractive 🤣
