Mike Pence sat next to him. Same result.

He can't get no recognition.

Actually I thought that was funny and far from being political!

The transformation has begun, I guess. Most guys (and girls) pushing through their seventies begin to take on the look of generic elders, as our unique facial features get squished and pulled by time, so that ultimately you have to get a good, well lit look at someone to recognize them.

When I go out, I'm besieged by autograph seeking fans of Ruth Buzzi. I just pull my hat brim down, smile and sign 'sock it to me'.

So . . . did the Rolling Stone drink a Rolling Rock that night?

It's probably cause most people are just being nice...no one wants to tell him he cannot really sing.

 

[F312]

When you can't sing and make millions, you can sing.

 

[Westerly Wood]

oh i am mostly tongue in cheek re Jagger. I think he is more of a great entertainer, economist, leader vs a great singer. but yes, he can sing.

2 beers and he would have doubled his body weight.

Does he still drink 'em via transfusion?

My friend, Kenny Margolis and I walked into the NYC club Trax one night in the 70's to see Mink Deville. We immediately noticed a guy having an animated conversation with someone. I looked closer and realized it was Mick Jagger, who had come to see the band. The last thing you want to do in NYC is gush all over a rock star, so we left Jagger alone. During the break between sets, we were all backstage and there were several joints being passed around. I felt a body on my back, so I turned around and there was Jagger leaning on me in search of the joint I was holding. I said, "Do you want a hit, Mick?" He replied, "Yeah yeah!" I handed him the joint and watched him take a few long hits on it. That was the extent of our conversation. I wanted to talk with him, but was so stoned myself, I was afraid I'd sound like an idiot.

I would love to see a picture of you! Do you wear a hair net over your forehead?

Right up there with Dylan.

Right up there with Dylan.

To me, one of the thing that make a singer great is whether they have a unique voice. It doesn't have to be loved by everybody, but when you hear them, you know exactly who it is. So many of the old rock stars had this quality. Maybe because there was no autotune to make everyone sound the same!

Jagger, Dylan, Daltrey, all four Beatles, Hendrix, Springsteen, and so on.

And, for example, someone like Sting.

So Neil Young, Mick Jagger and Bobby Dylan we’re gonna start a barbershop triplet called, Yeah Right.

 

[walrus]

Oh, I forgot Neil Young! Remember, I said they don't have to be loved by everybody, but when you hear them, you know exactly who it is...

If you have time to kill, here's a necro thread from another forum about this accuses just about every singer there is of being bad! I love the title!

Lets us not forget the real oldtimers, from the start of recording/performing. Let's see those names. Leadbelly, Bill Broonzy, or Jimmy Durante, Walter Brennan, ... Anyone can be a star.
