Jagger finishes vacation out of Vineyard spotlight
by Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa
Thursday, August 1, 2002
Rolling Stone Mick Jagger rolled off The Rock yesterday after a week of fun in the sun in Chilmark and Edgartown, where Mr. Jumpin' Jack Flash managed to fly below the celeb-spotters' radar screens - but not the Track's!
According to our Vineyard spies, Mick played tennis, tanned and even went for a daily jog - unrecognized - on crammed State Beach during his island holiday.
``He loves the Vineyard,'' said one F.O.M. ``He really just wanted to kick back and relax before the band starts their tour because it's going to be grueling.''
Jagger holed up in a pal's Chilmark digs but also spent some time aboard a lux yacht in Edgartown Harbor during his island holiday. He arrived and departed alone but hung out with main man Keith Richards, who was also on The Rock. Mick's kids were back and forth from New York to see dad and Wild Horses couldn't keep ex-wife Jerry Hall away. She popped in for a day and a half.
It is with Mixed Emotions that we tell you that Mick's vacation itinerary was more suited to a rich retiree than randy rocker. He spent most of his time on the homefront - where a private chef whipped up health food for all his meals, never sampling any of the island's chi-chi bistros.
Well, Time Waits for No One and Mick's not getting any younger. But the health food and jogging are apparently part of the pre-concert conditioning program. The Stones' 40th anniversary tour kicks off Sept. 3 at the FleetCenter.
Jagger did venture out in public to do some window shopping in Vineyard Haven and reportedly caught Cambridge funnyman Lenny Clarke's stand-up routine at the Hot Tin Roof.
But he went unrecognized when he took his daily constitutional on the beach between Edgartown and Oak Bluffs.
``He tied back his hair in a bandanna, wore glasses and put his head down,'' said our spy. ``Nobody knew it was him.''
Jagger flew out to New York yesterday and reportedly planned to take in Bruce Springsteen's taping for ``Late Night with David Letterman'' today. But don't be Shattered. We hear Jagger's Vineyard vacation will Not Fade Away. He's coming back to The Rock before the band begins practice sessions at the FleetCenter.
``He has to,'' said our spy, ``his stuff's all here.''
Hurry back, Mick. We Miss You.

He must be flying back and forth from Toronto since he's been there all week too. |

I'm glad Mick is going to check out Springsteen tonight at the Letterman show. Bruce is on top of his game and has a hot new single - maybe it'll inspire Mick to aspire to a little one-upmanship. |

Joey, I LOVE how you never let up on the Mick Taylor hope...not for a minute...and all the kudos you keep sending Pete and Roger and crew is appreciated by this WHO fan. Are you seeing them this tour?
I am come hell or high water...or whatever else might crop up at the last minute. |

I think the Who should give a free concert for the miners and the governor of Pennsylvania...because the governor missed the concert to stay there during the entire rescue mission. I think that would be really nice of the Who... |

The Gov.s kids saw the Camden show without him. But from what I heard, he showed up at the show that FPM & I saw at Hershey. Choppered in from Johnstown.
Wasn't that rescue amazing? I can't even imagine what that must have been like, trapped like a mummy in a tomb.
I'm not a very religious man. But when stuff like that happens, it makes you wonder.
And just so you know...Pennsylvanians KICK ASS! |

It was amazing to watch that rescue! Especially after all of the horrific news of child abductions/rapes/murders. It was truly a miracle. Also, I was very happy to hear that the two teenage girls were found alive today, after being kidnapped last night.

I don't think musicians should be obligated to keep giving free performances every time someone has some calamity. Life sucks at some point for most of us. Suck it up and live on. |

Maxy ??????????? What are you doing tonight ????? Saturday night ?????????????? Do you want to go and see " The Two " with me at MSG . There are still some tickets available for both shows , but I bet scalpers will be outside the venue with better seats ( Your young Joey has heard horror stories about NYC scalpers tough , I guess they are nothing like Chicago scalpers who really are pretty tame ) .

Joey!
I would love to!
But I'm afraid I have "Group" that night.
I'm very close to a major breakthrough. Things feel, well.....different.
Lets just say I love more than ever and things are looking up, old friend.
Do you like stuffed animals? I am sending you a Care Bear. It'll be there for Aragon.
Hold tight pal.

You make Joey scared ...............
You sound a lot like Keith Moon in the L.A. Mental Hospital circa 1977 . He made a small little table at the " clinic " and was just proud as punch . He showed the table to some of his friends and revealed that he had a centerfold pasted up on the underneath of it ....................He then said , " They still ain't got me yet " .
Your young Joey didn't know whether to laugh or cry and I just can't bear to think of you that way .
