Hey everyone,
I stumbled on this at Rollingstone.com. It's a great interview of Mick from December of 1995. Here's the link:

And here's a great quote:
How's your hearing?
My hearing's all right. But we worry about it because they play far too loud. Sometimes I use earplugs because it gets too loud on my left ear.
Why your left ear?
Because Keith's standing on my left. [Laughter.]

Thanks for the tip!
And here's more: a 1997 interview with the band during their Bridges to Babylon tour. Lots of funny quotes!
Keith on the setlist:
"We had enormous gunfights about which song to play. Everything was cool. Once the smoke cleared."
Mick, in answer to the question: "Have you ever performed with anything stuffed down your trousers?"
"Oh, no. Do people actually do that?"

Great finding justinkurian!! Probably that's the best Jagger interview ever. The on-line interview posted above is just a portion. The original article also has great pix expanding Mick years since 1964 to 1995. It's a must is you collect magazines and/or interviews.
Since tomorrow is Jimi and "Ya Ya's recording" birthday, here's Mick on Jimi from that interview.
�I loved Jimi Hendrix from the beginning. The moment I saw him. I thought he was fantastic. I was an instant convert. Mr. Jimi Hendrix is the best thing I�ve ever seen. It was exciting, sexy, interesting. He didn�t have a very good voice but made up for it with his guitar. I first saw him at the at the Revolution Club in London. I was one of the six people in the club, and Jimi was playing. I couldn�t believe it. It was insane . so good and the whole idea of this kind of English band behind him, this bizarre mixture between a blues performer and a rock player with and English touch.
I was quite friendly with him. He was a really sweet guy. A bit confused. It�s the same old story: Jimi Hendrix played all over the place with all these bands. He�d been a background guitar player for donkey years and suddenly he gets what he wants, then he has to play �Purple Haze� every night. He goes �Uh, I don�t want to play �Purple Haze� every night. I don�t want to burn the guitar.� And then when everyone went off the deep end, he had to go off the deep end. He became a heroin addict�
