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."

Pearls of Wisdom by Luqman a.s To his Son

we  humans are born with flaws ,imperfections, habits and natures of our own , pride,anger,lying,selfishness,arrogance are a part of us ,some admit them and have the abundance of one of these mentioned cruel attitudes in them ,others refrain to see their flaws and end up hurting others with their attitude and behaviors . while reciting Quran i am always amazed by the simple daily life matters and human faults and weaknesses it is addressing to ,the issues of this generation and showing them the rite path.  like today i was reciting surah al-Luqman and when i reached the verses where Luqman a.s who was a wise man of his time , his wisdom impressed the angles and Allah showered him with more light of guidance and praised him , he gave few very important advice's to his son with such polite and loving words that we can feel them . 1:                                     ...

Change The Way They Look At You

  Life is always developing,  growing and evolving,  from human bodies to their internal growth it’s a journey,  where almost nothing is static , when we are little we might have held a certain toy tigher to ourselves,  after few years we completely ignore it like it was worthless , or during our teens the activities and adventures we try despite all the  opposition & disapproval for that certain thing ,but we still eagerly try it ,because at that time it seems the most exciting thing to us, though after few years when we look back it seems utterly foolish , a lover, for whom we might be willing to die for cried rivers and buckets of tears, missed many heart beats in our twenties, turns into out most awaful crush of the past when we are more mature and get some perspective on life,  we laugh at those times of childishness. It’s not just an individual going through this process of change but everyone around that individual has their opinions develop...
