Mick Jagger: My Job Is to Help Fans 'Have the Best Time,' Not Lecture Them
The Rolling Stones frontman reflects on performing after a 2024 political jab sparked backlash
Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger said he has no interest in using his platform to "lecture" concertgoers, telling Fox News his job is simply to help audiences "have the best time" and forget their problems.
The comments come after a 2024 on-stage jab at Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry during a performance at New Orleans Jazz Fest sparked a public feud, according to Fox News.
Jagger's remarks illustrate a tension between his stated hands-off approach to politics on stage and the moments when he has waded into it anyway, drawing attention well beyond the concert crowd.
