Can anyone please help me identify when and in what context Mick Jagger said "My heart is Labour, my mind is Liberal, my money's Tory", or similar? I need to be able to provide a reference for this if I am to include it in my discussion of sixties groups in my volume just submitted to the Oxford University Press for their series 'The New Oxford History of England', to be published in 2009. I've failed to locate this revealing quotation when working through several
books on Jagger, though I have come across one (unidentified) reference to it on the internet, so I think it WAS said. I'll be most grateful if anyone who reads this website can get me a bit further forward.

I'll bump this one up for Brian. If anyone can recall seeing this one in a Stones book somewhere, please help.
Thanks |

I seem to recall reading something similar somewhere some time ago. But right now I can't even remember if my beer is still cold.  |

He talked a bit in the doc. "Being Mick" and it showed him going to vote! He definitely said he always votes Labour, which in USA terms is Democrat and defined by hardcore rights as looney liberals... |

Those were the alternate lyrics to Sweet Neocon. Mick scrapped those after he humiliated George Walker Bush III by telling him to go pound piss over the hotel room in Austria.

George Walker Bush III cannot be humilitaed, he has no conscience.

He has as much of a conscience as anyone else. And he's not so unintelligent that he can't be humiliated. But his attention span is short and his sense-of-entitlement mentality is characterized by an ability to rationalize anything, even his own hypocrisy - i.e., if you want to humuliate a fatuous retard like George Walker Bush III, you gotta do it fast and loud. Like Mick Jagger did! |

Who was that gay British MP who chased Jagger around for a while in the late 60s? I assume he was Labour. |

Tom Driberg. Yes, he was a Labour MP. |

I recall a Playboy interview wherein Mick sort of stood up for M. Tatcher. |

The human cucumber (George W. Bush) will go down in history as the worst human being ever. Worst than the Clintoons.

I don't think he said that. He said he wouldn't reveal his vote and made some joke about always voting for the socialist workers party or something like that. |

my conservative friend thinks he's conservative.
people associate mick as being conservative because of his love of money and his unnabashed money-grubbing ways...
but on social and political issues, jagger seems further to the left - not too far, but far enough.
the truth is, i think he's too pragmatic to be one or the other. |
