ROLLING STONES frontman MICK JAGGER made a surprise appearance on stage with U2 on Friday (30Oct09) during the second night of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concerts in New York City.

The first show on Thursday night (29Oct09) saw acts including Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, Jeff Beck, Sting and James Taylor take to the stage at Madison Square Garden.

Friday’s (30Oct09) show opened with Jerry Lee Lewis singing Great Balls of Fire, and went on to host a number of big name collaborations including Jeff Beck with Sting and U2 with the Black Eyed Peas.
The night built up to a climatic finale with Jagger, Fergie and Will.i.am all joining U2 to sing Rolling Stones hit Gimme Shelter, as Jagger entertained the crowd with his trademark dance moves.

Jagger stayed on stage to help U2 perform Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of, before the Irish rockers closed the show with their hit Beautiful Day.

Earlier in the night, heavy metal rockers Metallica took the stage with Lou Reed for two songs, before Ozzy Osbourne joined them to belt out Iron Man and Paranoid.

Aretha Franklin also performed a number of her hits, teaming up with Annie Lennox to sing Chain of Fools.

I wonder which position Jagger played.

What a great weekend of racing.

The final ever state round at Oran Park was a great weekend. In the unders, the trophies were taken home by Ryan Jagger (3rd), Ashley Birks (2nd) and Bob Jowett (1st).

These guys race so hard, that they even race to crack the champagne corks!

Watch the video to see who won that one!

Full race reports and in car video from the Corona to come this week.

Just a little horseradish would set these off...

Such harmless words. But oh so poignant.

Before I get to that, Thursdays dinner party. Justine (a dear colleague / friend from agency days of old), invites me over to her place.

In attendance; one of her colleagues, a journo who is bessy mates with the PR-PR guru in our Sydney office, and me. She lived with her cousin (who she mentioned was a photographer), in a stunning art-deco mansion block, overlooking Rushcutters Bay.

The view was stunning. The sort of second lounge area sits in huge windows, with big comfy lemsip sofas. My Sunday if I lived there? Coffee, oj, papers, croissant in that order!

After the youtube drama (some numpty released an ad pre-airing, unhappy client), we tuck in. Lovely food, stories, company. One of my best nights in Sydney.

Some story highlights:

- Justine came to stay with her cousin for a week. Still there 4 years on
- Her cousin owns several properties in Bali, and has furnished the apartment with nicks and nacks from his travel there. Totally eclectic, random, shouldn’t work, but does!
- He took her to a glam Sydney fashion show. After supping some champers, she offended an up+coming designer, when asking, ‘Sydneu’s lovely. But don’t you just think it’s no soul?’
- She gave cooking advice to a top Sydney Chef (Neil Perry), on how he could improve his Oysters. He took it more gracefully than the fashionista…

Needless to say, she’s beautiful, with a heart of gold. I kept spotting people I couldn’t quite place (Some Jaggers, a Beatle or two), but failed to make the connection. Anyway, she shows us one of his books, Siblings. All photographed together in their birthday suits. Big hoohaa at the time, a senior Aussie politician was involved, but had to pull out due to the ‘controversy’…

Anyway, cousin arrives back, lovely bloke. He asks if I’d like to see another of his books, so of course I say yes. He pops one in my lap, which has a very post-coital, slightly mashed looking Kylie grinning ear to ear, alongside the equally happy Mr. Michael Hutchence.

I flick through, and the whole thing is a celeb-spatter fest. Grace Jones, David Bowie, Nicole (pre and post tom (very hetro) cruise), you name em, he shot em.

He must have a real talent, they all look somewhat at ease. Something to do with the setting for the bulk of the shots no doubt; for a while, he was the club-appoonted photographer at the embassy club in London. He told a touching story about Paul and Linda, which I’ll share another day. Just makes you hate the evil one legged gold digger that bit more…

Book was stunning, his style effortless, his subjects totally at ease. A very interesting character, and as one of the snappers for Vogue Australia, I can see why Justine really did get some great opportunities to offend the ‘cream of Sydney’. Just as I did last time I was here.

But that’s a different story….

Ok, so this little letter does contain a rather un-savoury word and I’m sorry about that, but it is also pretty interesting. In fact this is pretty much a designers dream.

I particularly like the bit following … ‘and please write back…’

Actually, I can’t think of anything to write right now. I was supposed to write about this philosopher, Jagger, who Dr. House quoted in their pilot episode. So I did a Google search about him and it turned out that this Jagger was actually Mick Jagger of Rolling Stones! And the line that Dr. House quoted was the title of one of their songs. Wow, I’ve been fooled. By Dr. House.

BTW, it’s a good song. Google it!

Guys and gals.  If you have any interest in items of historical value, like myself -thanks Sambo, Cicero’s letters to friends is still a favourite, then you need to check out Letters of Note.  This is a great blog where they continue to collect/verify letters and correspondence from historically significant folks.  Submissions are welcome.  I love reading one of these when I come in in the morning.  Everything from Gates pissed about piracy, to Jagger chatting up Warhol for an album cover.  The one I read today from Einstein waxes.  Photo above.  Transcript below. Enjoy. – HT

Princeton, 3. 1. 1954

Dear Mr Gutkind,

Inspired by Brouwer’s repeated suggestion, I read a great deal in your book, and thank you very much for lending it to me … With regard to the factual attitude to life and to the human community we have a great deal in common. Your personal ideal with its striving for freedom from ego-oriented desires, for making life beautiful and noble, with an emphasis on the purely human element … unites us as having an “American Attitude.”

Still, without Brouwer’s suggestion I would never have gotten myself to engage intensively with your book because it is written in a language inaccessible to me. The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. … For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstition. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong … have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything “chosen” about them.

In general I find it painful that you claim a privileged position and try to defend it by two walls of pride, an external one as a man and an internal one as a Jew. As a man you claim, so to speak, a dispensation from causality otherwise accepted, as a Jew of monotheism. But a limited causality is no longer a causality at all, as our wonderful Spinoza recognized with all incision…

Now that I have quite openly stated our differences in intellectual convictions it is still clear to me that we are quite close to each other in essential things, i.e. in our evaluation of human behavior … I think that we would understand each other quite well if we talked about concrete things.

With friendly thanks and best wishes,

Yours,

A. Einstein

IN THE ROLLING STONES’ NEW CON’ cert movie, Shine a Light, there is a vintage interview with guitarist Keith Richards. Cell Phones & Office A reporter asks Richards what he thinks about when he’s onstage playing with the Stones. Richards coolly replies, “I don’t think onstage. I feel.” Directed by Martin Scorsese, Shine a Light captures the Stones in their current feral prime, in breathtaking close-up. Scorsese shot the band in 2006, during two intimate shows at New York’s Bea¬con Theatre, with guest appearances by Buddy Guy, Christina Aguilera and Jack White of the White Stripes, who duets with Mick Jagger in a heated country-soul version of “Loving Cup,” from 1972’s Exile on Main Street. But Shine a Light — named after another Feedback Exile song and the latest in a long line of Stones documentaries, including Gimme Shelter (1970), Ladies and Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones (1974) and Coc\suc\er Blues, Robert Frank’s notorious, unreleased chronicle of the backstage excess on the Stones’ ‘72 U.S. tour — is a testament to the power of feeling, the blues-band empathy and brotherly defiance that continue to drive and define Richards, Jagger, guitar¬ist Ron Wood and drummer Charlie Watts in concert.

Shine a Light has also inspired a first: the following in¬terview with Richards and White, in front of a roaring fire in a New York townhouse on a recent wet, cold afternoon. Born half a lifetime and a few rock revolutions apart, Rich¬ards, 64, and White, 32, had never talked at length before. In fact, White did not see the Stones live until the White Stripes opened two Audio Accessories shows for them in 2002. But the two guitarists quickly bonded over their mutual love of the blues and the spontaneous joys of live performance. “It’s like describing the Pyramids to someone who has never been there,” White says, when asked what he feels in the middle of a hot guitar solo. “A man after my own heart,” Richards agrees, smiling.

Vamos combinar que você tá divina né, coração? Nem esses dentinhos fenômeno vão detonar você.

Okay I am not sure I believe her. This girl has been in and out of rehab like a ping pong ball but I know he did jump start her on drugs. John Pillips was just enough of a junk head to do this to his own kid but I don’t know. Drugs has pretty much taken her looks, poor thing.

I have met Mick Jagger several times now and every time I see him he is uglier than the last time. I now officially hate the Stones b/c if it’s true what he said to her at 18 years of age – he is a totall asshole and only thinks with his dick.

Fuck him and every guy who abused this poor kid. She is so alone and sick and look at her. I hope John Pillips is roasting in a hell of his own making.

Pandrogyny, a term, Kenneth highlighted to me. This is kinda overdue. Flipped through these during my research in music two weeks back. I am not exactly sure if I should archive everything here, maybe just the interesting tidbits.

Okay back to the smart talk, what’s pandrogyny really? Genesis Breyer P Orridge – founder of the bands Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV – has been an icon of the psychedelic and industrial rock music underworlds for some 30-odd years, pretty much coined this term. Jaye Breyer (best known as Lady Jaye), his/her other half passed away pretty recently due to heart failure. The two had previously embarked on a years-long pursuit of pandrogyny, undergoing painful plastic surgery procedures in order to become gender-neutral human beings that looked like each other. As s/he explains, this was not about achieving a standard of beauty. Once the body is no longer viewed as sacred, the possibilities are endless.

“We started out, because we were so crazy in love, just wanting to eat each other up, to become each other and become one,” explains Genesis. “And as we did that, we started to see that it was affecting us in ways that we didn’t expect. Really, we were just two parts of one whole; the pandrogyne was the whole and we were each other’s other half. DNA is really the new battleground for evolution. If we want to survive as a species, if we want to hopefully colonize space and do incredible things, we have to completely reassess how the human body works and realize that it’s not sacred, it’s just stuff. It’s time for us to step away from the prehistoric acceptance of the human body as it was and design ourselves. Why can’t we learn how to hibernate if we are going to go into space? Best way to travel to space is to be asleep for long journeys. Animals hibernate, so it can’t be that difficult.”

After reading through his interview, it brought me new light into why do androgyny, or in this case pandrogyny exists. Okay please assume that I am just talking about deliberate androgyny. Is there actually a greater good that people are seeking through this statement of physical traits? I start to ponder about looking like either gender, unisex and neutral. Are these terms different, or actually mean the same? There are different voices behind androgyny but are they all very different, or what can androgyny say for you? I was reading up on something something about it. It strays too far from pandrogyny, I’ll introduce in my next entry, coming up in a few hours time! Haha.

he just doesn't make a very pretty girl, but nonetheless we figure the idea behind this

Pandrogyny is deliberate changes from unlikeness to likeness. How about deliberate likeness without the operations? I wouldn’t confirm the deliberate part, well, it’s highly debated. Oh, that’s not the point, just get to the pictures already.

bianca jagger absolutely looks strangely like mick jagger

pandrogyny or whatever gender terms aside, I really love her dress?

the bowie family of alikes

hello angela bowie

But I will like to highlight that angela bowie did go to some measures to resemble david bowie. Yes the hair, the hair was deliberately cut short. Okay, think in terms of couplehood, that’s quite romantic maybe? Haha, I’m not that sure. Brad Pitt dyes his hair to whatever his other half’s hair color is. I’m not too sure about this idea behind. Is looking like each other romantic? I hear that a lot, when two people start to hang out together a lot they begin to look like each other, works even between for man and pets. Well maybe, I’m not exactly going to fight this out, I’m more concerned about being alike right from the start. And so what does that say as well? The ego of your amazing looks? Is it amazing to date a somebody just like you? Or to prove that you can be another gender too? Really, tell me what you think about this.

LA-based jeans company Hudson has chosen a new face for their brand…  Georgia Jagger (daughter of Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger.  Though only 17 years old, it is clear that this bright young thing has an even brighter career ahead of her…

In the commercial which debuted online, Georgia offers… “My mother is Jerry Hall and my father is Mick Jagger- people say I have great genes…”  We agree.

Da Bedarf besteht und ich zwei nette Anfragen erhielt, will ich doch das Foto vom Phallus nicht so allein lassen, schliesslich steht er am Jadebusen, und ein Foto von Jades Busen gibts jetzt





… nicht, denn die Tochter von Mick Jagger verdeckt eben jenen.
Schade, aber wenn man genauer schaut: Soviel können die dünnen Ärmchen nicht verdecken. Da zitier ich doch mal den Herrn Papa:
I can’t get no satisfaction!
