MICK JAGGER TALKED ABOUT HIS PAST LIFE AND IZ HAPPY WITH HIS MIDDLE CLASS ROOTS

Sir Mick Jagger describes Rolling Stones documentary as like opening a 'family scrapbook'



In Cannes for his film about the Rolling Stones's summer of exile in France, Sir Mick Jagger talks to Martyn Palmer about that hedonistic time – and why he's thankful for his middle-class roots
It really was sex, drugs and rock-and-roll – and it's remarkable that their 1972 masterpiece, Exile on Main Street, emerged from such mayhem. "We were young, good-looking and stupid," he told the audience. "Now we're just stupid."it must be odd, I suggest, to look at one's younger self in such detail. "It's a bit like poring over a family album," he says. "I'm not nostalgic for that time, but it was a good time and it was interesting to look at what was there."Richards and his then-partner, Anita Pallenberg, were both descending into heroin addiction; bass player Bill Wyman was desperately homesick for Branston pickle and English milk; and guitarist Mick Taylor – who had replaced original member Brian Jones who had died in 1969 – was overawed by the rock star lifestyle on display. Jagger himself remembers it all with affection.Jagger today has a personal fortune estimated at more than £300 million. The time in Provence recording Exile On Main Street marked a sea change in the financial fortunes of the band, and they went on to become one of the most successful groups of all time. Creatively, though, they never quite scaled the heights of that remarkable, eclectic album infused with blues, country and soul.The reissued album, with six bonus tracks unearthed and reworked by Jagger and co, is on course today to become the band's first number one in 16 years. "It's my finest hour!" he laughs. "Well, it's certainly good and it was certainly a creative period. It's a very good album but whether it's the best, I don't know. I don't really have favourites."The Stones have tentative plans for a limited tour where they would perform the album in its entirety. And he will keep on working until he drops, because, well, that's what he does."Everyone's life comes to an end. We'll all die, we all have the same fate, but I think you should just keep going while you can, doing what you like."

  To be in a relationship is a huge commitment , to fight monotony,  differences,  difference of opinions , habits,  thoughts, ideas and embracing your partner with all of the challenges is not a piece of cake. Although it seems like super easy in the beginning,  when we are living it half in reality and the other half in the world of dreams.
