cwatts07644 WHEN MICK LICKED RONNIES FACE DURING RESPECTABLE
DO YOU THINK IT WAS FOR SHOCK , OR HE IS BISEXUAL.
I THINK IT WAS TO SHOCK THE LIVE TV AUDIENCE
01-05-03 06:24 PM
J.J.Flash Of course, on this ocasion and always, Mick wanted to SHOCK. You know what I mean, only the Stones have the true meaning of Rock'n'Roll! ATITUDE!
I'm not saying that seems like a bissexual is ATTITUDE, but SHOCK, SCARY the hypocritical audience is.
This is my point of view! Jagger never was and never will be a gay!
01-05-03 06:41 PM
Honky Tonker I personally thought it was one of Mick's stupidest moves. Looked sickening and the band was playing pretty bad that night. Obviously very high or drunk!!!! I'm shocked!!!
01-05-03 07:02 PM
sammy davis jr. Ronnie should have belted Mick over the head with his guitar for that shit. But Ronnie's always been Mick's BITCH hasn't he?
01-05-03 07:05 PM
exile Man they were just mucking around
having a laugh
when your a muti million dollar jet setting rock star who gives a fuck what anyone thinks

Its just like on "Love You Live" Mick Jagger when introducing the band says "and Ronnie Wood's Gay" then Ronnie gets on the mike and says "and old bums rush jagger over here"

they are just having a old fashioned laugh and not to be taken seriously

its pretty obvious they are not gay

Mick is obviously not "gay", if this means "mainly homosexual". His girlfriends, wives, mistresses, etc. could nearly fill a theater, were they all gathered. Wouldn't that be nice!
But he did admit to a few experiments with bisexuality. The 1960' and 70' were great years for trying new things, with sex as well as with drugs, music, politics, spirituality... In a much quoted interview with Lisa Robinson in Interview magazine, in 1984, he had this to say:

"MJ: Well, I wasn�t as good looking as she [daughter Jade Jagger] is and I didn�t get as many boys, or girls...
LR: Boys?
MJ: I got the boys and not the girls. No, I didn�t get the attention of the opposite sex that she does, because she�s just so attractive.
LR: What did you just say, that you got the boys...
MJ: Oh, I was just bullshitting. No, I was thirteen and very spotty and people didn�t think I was that cute.
LR: Well, you�re joking about it, but you have had a reputation and there have been rumors as to your involvements with men.
MJ: I haven�t really had a heavy sexual thing with men since I was at school.
[...]
LR: Did you really have heavy sexual relationships with boys then?
MJ: No....
LR: And you haven�t since?
MJ: No. [...] I haven�t had any serious gay relationships.
LR: Well, maybe not serious.
MJ: Or even very many other ones. Very recently. [...] I mean, it was very nice during one period of my life to be attractive to men. Liking the attention, it was new. I hadn�t really considered it before, and there was a period when I went through that. You know, all that androgynous era.
LR: Which era was that?
MJ: I don�t know, the �60s, I guess."

Around the same time, he said in an interview to the French magazine VSD: "I'm not completely heterosexual but I've slept with more women than men." This was quoted again in a french biography which was published in 1993 not only with Mick's assent but also his cooperation.
So the question of Mick's sexual orientation is not a simple one. But I agree that it's probably more a question of "attitude" and style, than really having gay sex. In part, looking gay or androgynous has a great shock value on audiences! Like kissing Ronnie, grinding against keyboard player Billy Preston, wearing frilly clothes and lots of make-up on stage.
On the other hand, there's probably something more complicated, which has to to with "enjoying the attention" from men or wearing female clothes and make up even when not on stage or acting in a movie. His camp mannerism in real life have been often commented on, from his giggle, pouting lips, mincing movements to the way he likes to chitchat with girls in a girlish way. In a way, it's like Mick was trying to be closer to women by looking and emoting like one. Not a bad ploy, for a seducer! And all the better for not being an act, but a genuine side of his personality.
For those who want to know more about the complicated Sir Michael Philip Jagger, I warmly recommend the biography by Christopher Sandford, Cooper Square Press; ISBN: 0815410026 (updated ed., paperback, 1999). A good read and a great source of infos.

J.J.Flash Words of wisdom Monkey Woman! I love you! See ya!
Let it Rock! Keep Rockin'!

sammy davis jr. I don't care how many hundreds of Brazilian long legged women Mick has shagged, he's gay, and if you can't see that, you don't belong in showbiz, man.
01-05-03 08:52 PM
Boomhauer Anybody could see that Micko was high as pop fly.

Did you see the skit he did with Aykroyd? Uuuuuuuuh.....................he was high.

01-05-03 09:15 PM
exile No i disagree Sammy Davis Jr
I dont think Mick is gay

I think its stupid to say that he is
the guy has about 10 kids from four differnt women
01-05-03 10:23 PM
sammy davis jr. Yeah....Tony Randall has a kid too. So does Tom Cruise. I'm not saying Mick's a flaming homosexual, but c'mon, he said himself he's had his daliances. Personally I couldn't care less.
01-05-03 10:52 PM
MP who really cares anyway?
01-05-03 10:58 PM
KeepRigid Mick isn't exactly great at hiding his love life. If he were gay, I'm sure we'd all know it.
01-05-03 11:26 PM
TheSavageYoungXyzzy Whatever. He's not bisexual, he's just horny. He admits that yes, he did have sexual relationships with men, and women. There are all sorts of stories floating around, especially from the '75 tour, which was just one huge non-stop party. Do you think Ronnie called him "Ol' Bumrush Jagger" for nothing?

The guy bonked whoever he wanted, didn't mind the attention from guys, and now he seems to have settled down into women. Many women, but women nevertheless.

exile man yeah i dont care ethier
01-06-03 05:57 AM
J.J.Flash Hey hey sammy davis jr. my brother, you don't need to talk with me this way. I know what's the meaning of the word SHOWBIZ. And if you saw my previously post, this ATTITUDE means BELONGS TO SHOWBIZ! See ya brother! Happy New Year to you and everybody.
In fact, the posts about Mick's sexual life is one of the most controvertial subjects here! What do you think Savage?
01-06-03 07:31 AM
Mathijs Does anybody actually really care if jagger is gay or not? Who could give a flying fuck? Does it matter?

I'm with Mathijs on this one, J.J. I'm sure he's bonked a fair amount of guys in his time, but who cares? As a result, it gets all blown outta proportion - I think the interview above says it all. He's had his way with men and women, but it's not a big deal.

ChrisTresper I'm with Mathijs too !
Who gives a rat's ass whether Jagger is straight or gay.
He happens to be the singer of the Greatest Rock n' Roll band in the world, the band we all love so much, who cares about anything except for his music. He's probably gonna bone a few 18-21 year olds on this tour like he did on most tours, we are not going to discuss that either now are we ?! hehe

Yep.

he's one itchy MoFo, ain't he? Personally i've always been curious regarding his monthly Viagra bill...but that's neither here nor there, nor up nor down, is it?

marcus aurelianus Again !!!!!!

Of course Mick is not gay , although we all know he has already had gay sex . So what ? Where is the problem ???
I am straight although I have already had gay sex when I was (much )younger . I don't regard mlyself as gay .
Only the prudes or the hypocrits can be shocked .

luridchief I always thought the face licking was pretty funny. I remember the following Monday morning, it was the talk of my junior high school. In one class, a kid said that the Stones were "fags" because of it. Later that year, we found out that same kid was sucking his own dog's dick! And I'm not kidding.

doo doo doo Dude This is a no brainer. Why else would he have the cocksucker blues?

riffhard64 you can make a 1000 rock n roll records and sing 1000 rock n roll songs BUT if you suck one cock you are not a rock n roll singer you are in fact a cocksucker
01-07-03 07:42 PM
sasca It was nothing new. Mick and Andrew mimed to I Got You Babe on TV in the sixties, gazing lovingly at one another. (as did Brian and RSG presenter Cathy McGowan).
