Topic: No, I haven�t caught a cold: Jagger Return to archive

CS No, I haven�t caught a cold: Jagger
April 1

In an exclusive interview with the Hindustan Times, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger announced from Singapore that he hadn�t caught a cold �or anything more serious�. The reason for the band�s arrival being delayed yet another day was a plain and simple �airplane snag�.

Asked why the Stones have delayed their trip to India so long, Jagger frankly replied: �To tell you the truth, India has never been on the regular tour map. It�s been quite difficult in the past with the bureaucracy being so much worse than now.�

Sir Mick, who was knighted last year for his yeomen services in music and the performance arts, wryly stated that there were portentous signs of the band�s coming to India for some time now.

Jagger has come to India to watch cricket matches � most famously the cricket World Cup in 1996 � while guitarist Keith Richards has donned on several occasions a scarf with the word �Ram� batik-printed on it. �As far as I know, the others haven�t been to India before, so they�re really, really keen.� So what can Stones fans look forward to hearing in the Bangalore and Mumbai concerts on April 4 and April 7?

�Well, I really don�t know yet,� says Jagger with what one thinks is rather deft deception. When asked whether numbers from the �swirling years� � that is, songs from Beggar�s Banquet (1968) to Exile On Main Street (1973) � will be performed during the Indian leg of the �40 Licks tour�, one hears a faint smile on the other side. �Now is that a request?�

While the Stones are famed for their huge arena-style shows, it�s their �spontaneous� performances at the club/bar settings that drive home the point that Messrs Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood are legends of rock-and-especially-roll. Any such �sudden� plans in India? �Let�s see. It all depends on how it goes,� says the singer of the world�s only 41-year-old band.
