Jagger Says Men Throw Underpants at Munich Concert
Thu June 5, 2003 04:50 PM ET
MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - Mick Jagger, staring 60 in the face, lamented
the lack of women's lingerie thrown on stage at a Rolling Stones concert in
Germany -- but said a few pairs of men's underpants were hurled from the
crowd.
Jagger, 59, said on Thursday there seemed to be fewer women in the crowd at
the start of the European leg of the Rolling Stones "40 Licks" tour in
Munich's Olympia Hall on Wednesday.
"It was all men," Jagger said at a news conference, noting a lamentable
absence of the lingerie that is normally thrown at the band from the
audience. However, he said he did see a few pairs of large men's underpants
on the stage.
"I don't know what that says," Jagger said, laughing. "They left all the
girls at home or whatever, I don't know. Usually we get a few bits of
underwear on the stage. Last night there were a few Y-fronts."
A sell-out crowd of 12,000 cheered the rock band's two-hour show in Munich
on Wednesday night.
"I think it's a great place for us, big crowd, people turn up," Jagger said.
"That's where you want to start. You don't want start in place that's
slightly marginal, a small place where you are not sure of your audience."
