Mick's hotel room

So, in the Jerry Hall story, her fiance Bryan Ferry - won't let her have fun; won't set a date for the wedding; gets grouchy; and gets jealous when her onstage performance goes over big with the audience.


(That part about him not setting a date for the wedding:  it's ironic, right after she recounts how he wouldn't let her have fun and made her cry - the next thing that's "wrong" is he "wouldn't commit" to setting a date for their wedding - !  Seriously, you want to marry this guy??

        But isn't that almost always how it is....)


Oooh, the red flags, the foreshadowing....


Then - 'Back in London The Rolling Stones came to town and we went to see their show.'

        Now, we had the foreshadowing - and then, the Rolling Stones coming to town - that, my friend, is what authors call "a cliff-hanger"!


Your fiance is glum and tedious, and - Mick Jagger's coming over??!

(Uh - oh...)


Foreshadowing, red flags, cliff-hangers - Oh My!


----------------------- [excerpt from Jerry Hall:  My life in pictures] ----------------


Back in London The Rolling Stones came to town and we went to see their show.  I was a big Stones fan and loved their music and I was blown away by Mick Jagger's performance.  He seemed to jump so high he could almost fly and the audience were on their feet dancing like crazy.  

After the show we were invited back to Mick's hotel room at the Ritz.  There were half a dozen people there and Mick was wearing a red silk dressing gown.  He was friendly to us both and asked us to dinner.
