This was such a nice conversation. Love his insight and wisdom. He’s so brilliant. 🥰
I read the title and immediately thought of the John Mulaney bit. Then I watched the video and realized that’s actually what he’s responding to lol
Why does he look like Charlotte Rampling
He’s right!
Hij is een ervaringsdeskundige. Je moet sterk in je schoenen staan. Enorme rijkdom en macht creëert een bubbel. Je denkt dat je overal boven staat.
Er zijn helaas veel mensen die dat niet kunnen. Veel popsterren lopen naast hun schoenen. Om nog maar te zwijgen over mensen als Trump, Thiel en Musk. Daarom zou je geen leiders moeten hebben die miljardair zijn.
No shit
I am a fan of the Rolling Stones and Mick is a fascinating person because what you see is not necessarily what you get. He’s not someone you know (not that we really know any celebrity), he’s someone you know of. A great frontman, that I do know.
The new Rolling Stones album is really good btw.
a+ on the interviewer getting that. really interesting to hear someone of his level of fame talk about it so candidly
Please don’t come at me, but I think Taylor Swift is currently experiencing the height of what Jagger was describing.
The Eras tour pushed her over that invisible edge, so to speak, and she hasn’t had enough life experience yet to learn how to “switch it off.” As a result, that persona of hers has bled through her most recent work, which has rubbed a lot of her listeners the wrong way.
Wasn’t there a study saying you get mentally stuck at the age of which you become famous which is similar to a trauma response ?
As an autistic woman I am no stranger to loneliness, but being famous seems more lonely than I can even imagine. I wonder how anyone could cope with that kind of alienation
Oh yeah, there’s no coming back from fame. It’s why childhood fame is so damaging. Before you’re old enough to even understand what possibilities exist in life, you get locked into a path that fundamentally changes how you interact with the world. Even if you give it up to live a “normal” life, the most important period of human development has been influenced by people who didn’t put your care, wellbeing, and humanity above their own priorities.
