In a discussion about his movie "Alfie", Charles Shyer had quite a lot to say about the way women "continue to be mistreated and objectified in popular culture and much of society". He also shared his admiration for Mick:
quote:
Another way to make the new "Alfie" stand alone as a great film is to have really great music throughout. Mick Jagger monopolizes the soundtrack, giving it a specific sound quality and attitude.
"I think Mick Jagger has a '60s vibe, which I love. And I think he epitomizes it, although I think these songs are much more modern. I like him being the voice of Alfie. I think it's very proper," Shyer said. "He's been involved with the movie for a long time, and I think he was able to capture something that helped the narrative in a way that's indefinable and immeasurable."

the way that Mick's voice has begun to sound more and more "proper" over recent years - starting most noticeably on the Stripped cd - just drives me nuts. I cant take it!
I miss the old raw, throaty, gregarious sound he used to sing with. I dont want Mick to sound "proper". I want him to sound warbly and UNDECIPHERABLE
you know... like "I wuzzzzzz bawwwwwnn innah cross fyyyyyyyy hurro caaaaaane ann nigh howwwwwwlllled at ma mahh inna poh ann raaaaaiiin"

Proper?
He sounds like an old man doing a Mariah Carey impression.
Not sure what's proper about that.
