Reviews

[Erin]

Exactly one hour long, but worth it to hear Mick's young voice that somehow sounds even younger as the years go by.

Finished writing my review and my iPad erased it which is angering.

I had this book on my shelf for a few years, very glad I finally read it. It was cool to hear what Mick thinks/thought about a wide range of topics. Although not a regular autobiography it still gives insight into Mick's experiences and views. More details about where and when interviews took place would've been nice. I wonder how many opinions Mick still holds. It's been 40 years now, 60 for some comments, I think.

This book was interesting. It gave a different perspective of fame but my favourite were this oldest interviews when he said he didnt think he would still be rocking in his 40s. Here we are decades later and he is still rocking and a HUGE icon. It is great to see how humble he was at the beginning and some of the things he was saying about drugs and alcohol are still relevant today.

I don't know if Mick really wrote this book (or ghostwriter for him) but i really liked it. I really enjoyed reading it and remembering the great time of rock and roll in the 60s. It's fun read, no wisdom or specific philosophy just good ol' fun. I do recommend this book for kids of 60s, 70s and 80s.

First time reading about Mick.
He needs to write a memoir

[Pam]

This was an audiobook because I wanted to hear Mick. Unfortunately the sound was terrible with most of these old tapes. It was staggered and difficult to follow.
Oh well.

A really entertaining audiobook. Jagger sounds cool and strives hard to be sincere. He comes off very likable.

[Thomas Stroemquist]

Quotes upon quotes from Mick. Some very revealing, some feels snatched from all thinkable context. But most are very entertaining!
