The 73rd birthday of Sir Michael of Jagger yesterday has passed without comment.
So here’s a curiosity from 1964, featuring the Stones spruiking* Rice Krispies.

Happy Birthday, Sir Mick!

Passed without comment round here, I meant.
I was going to mention it, with a then and now photo comparison. But since we can no longer post pictures, it all seems rather pointless.
You can always describe the photos, as you suggested. That would be interesting. Help keep the blog alive. In its last days.
Oh – don’t forget clipart! There’s a wealth of copyright free illustration out there that would brighten up the blog no end!
Here’s Sir Mick as a young man! His eyes full of hope for a bright future for his rockin’ beat combo!

And here’s Sir Mick, yesterday, enjoying his 73rd birthday celebrations!

And here’s Keith arriving for the party. I like this game.

With regard to Mick Jagger, there are two things we haven’t commented on:
1. His boundless energy on stage. All the others stroll about on their Zimmer frames and he keeps leaping about.
2. He has knocked up a 29 year old ballerina gloriously named Melanie Hamrick. Baby due at the turn of the year. Do you think he uses Viagra? And what exactly does that sweet, entirely wrinkle-free, young thing see in him?
Let’s make a guess as to what she sees in him.
She gets a baby with the Jagger genes – priceless
She and the child get a meal ticket for life
Apart from the boost to his ego Mick probably doesn’t care either way. He’ll probably be gone by the time the kid finishes high school.
Whether or not he uses Viagra, I’m impressed that he’s still shooting live ammunition after all this time. Did I say that out loud?
If it were anyone else but Mick, there would be something decidedly creepy about all this. His new girlfriend is probably younger than some of his kids.
Probably? Definitely, his eldest grand-daughter is 24 this year. (Assisi, daugher of Jade, 46, and the mother of his great-grandchild.)
His new son or daughter will be a couple of years younger than his great-granddaughter. Which will make the new arrival a great aunt or uncle as soon as they’re born.
Here’s Willie Nelson to explain it all for us:
I need to know more about this man. Recommendations please.
Hmm. Nobody knows nuthin’.
Mike, be careful. Men continue to produce the ammunition throughout life, even into an eleventh decade. Cannon failure is the main problem with age.
Cannon failure, ha! Always reminds me of what the actress REALLY said to the bishop: “With balls like that you should have been a canon”
Appropirately, boom boom!!
(Tish……….you paper)
He probably did that so that Ronnie Wood’s twin girls, who were born in May, have someone to play with.
Heppers tweeted that Mick’s latest was born between Steel Wheels and Dirty Work
