Mick Jagger doesn't want to 'lecture' fans, says his job is to make people 'have the best time'
Mick Jagger is opening up about what he thinks his job is as an entertainer.
During an interview with the New York Times podcast, "The Interview," the 82-year-old Rolling Stones frontman shared he believes his job as a musician is to make sure audiences "have the best time they possibly have" at his shows.
"I mean, the bottom line of my thing is really that my job in the live music world is just those people that come to have the best time they possibly can, and for two hours or whatever it is to forget all their problems and the problems of the world and their mortgages and their whatever," he said.
"They can have just the best time. It's similar to going to a sports event, really, because everything else is shouted out," he continued. "You're just watching who's going to win. You're not worrying about everything else."
Jagger made it clear he is more concerned with making sure his fans walk away at the end of his concert feeling good, emphasizing that he doesn't "want to lecture them" about anything.
While he doesn't feel the need to "lecture" his fans at his concerts, he isn't above inserting his opinion and providing social commentary in his song lyrics.
"I've also got into this habit of doing songs that are about personal relationships, and then I throw a verse about politics in there," he explained. "I think that's a trick that I've learned from other songwriters, or I've listened to others, because nobody wants to hear a whole song about politics or...social comment, of any kind."
Although the musician told interviewer, David Marchese, his main goal when performing is to entertain, he did ignite a small feud between himself and the governor of Louisiana while performing in New Orleans in May 2024.

While performing at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Jagger called out Gov. Jeff Landry by name.

"We're a welcoming crowd, aren't we?" Jagger asked. "I hope Mr. Landry is enjoying the show. He's real inclusive you know. He's trying to take us back to the Stone Age."
Shortly after the comment, the Republican governor responded on social media, appearing to mock the singer as well.
"You can’t always get what you want," he posted on X. "The only person who might remember the Stone Age is Mick Jagger. Love you buddy, you’re always welcome in Louisiana! #LoveMyCountryMusic."

Khosla family reaches deal to buy Super Bowl champion Seahawks for NFL-record price: report
Months after capturing their second Super Bowl title, the Seattle Seahawks are poised to begin the 2026 season under a new ownership structure. A group led by Vinod Khosla, his wife Neeru and their son Neal is set to become the fourth ownership group in the franchise's 51-year history.
The Khosla family reportedly reached a $9.6 billion agreement with the Paul Allen estate to take controlling interest in the Seahawks, a record price tag for an NFL franchise.
The NFL’s most recent ownership change came in 2023, when a group led by Josh Harris purchased the Washington Commanders for a then-record $6.05 billion.

The Seahawks’ reported $9.6 billion price tag would easily eclipse the NFL’s all-time sale record, but it still wouldn't surpass the $10 billion sale of the Los Angeles Lakers last October — the richest deal in North American sports history.
The Seahawks confirmed the pending sale in a statement, though financial terms were not disclosed.
Vinod Khosla, a limited partner with the San Francisco 49ers, will be required to sell his family’s minority stake in the team as part of the agreement before becoming the Seahawks’ controlling owner.
"We are honored to be entrusted as the next stewards of the Seattle Seahawks," Vinod Khosla said in a statement on behalf of the Khosla family. "We look forward to building on the winning legacy Paul Allen created and to earning the trust of the Seahawks organization and fans everywhere."
Before the sale can become official, it must be approved by at least 24 of the NFL’s 32 owners. That vote could come as soon as late next month at a league meeting, according to ESPN, though the deal must first be reviewed by the league’s finance committee.
Beyond the Khosla family, it remains unclear what other parties are possibly involved in the investor group.
FOLLOWING SUPER BOWL TITLE, JAXON SMITH-NJIGBA EYES CONTINUED SUCCESS IN SEATTLE
Vinod and Neeru Khosla have been married since 1980. Vinod is listed as the co-founder of Sun Microsystems. He later created Khosla Ventures. Their son, Neal Khosla, is a Stanford graduate and the co-founder and CEO of Curai Health. Neeru Khosla graduated from San Jose State University with a master's degree in molecular biology and is also an entrepreneur.
Jody Allen has chaired the Paul G. Allen Estate since her brother’s death in October 2018. In February, the estate put the Seahawks up for sale, following Allen’s wishes that his assets eventually be sold, and the proceeds sent to charity.
Earlier this week, Front Office Sports reported that a group led by Celtics alternate governors Wyc Grousbeck and Aditya Mittal was viewed as one of two finalists in the Seahawks bidding process.

It's Christmas in July as hundreds of Santas go on the march in the middle of a stifling summer heat wave
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas — if you ignore the calendar, that is.
While much of Europe continues to grapple with stifling summer heat, one Danish city looked ready for Christmas.
Hundreds of Santa Clauses, Mrs. Clauses and Christmas elves from around the world filled the streets this week for the annual World Santa Claus Congress in Aalborg for a colorful tradition that has delighted onlookers for decades despite taking place months before the holiday season.
The festive gathering transformed Denmark's fourth-largest city into a sea of red suits, white beards and Christmas cheer as professional Santas marched through downtown, posed for photos with visitors and took part in games and competitions all in the middle of July.
SANTA CLAUS REVEALS HIS FUN FACTS, RECAPS CHRISTMAS EVE JOURNEY WITH ‘FOX & FRIENDS’ HOSTS
This year's event came as central and Southern Europe continue to grapple with extreme heat, making the sight of dozens of Santas bundled in their signature outfits even more striking.
First staged at an amusement park near Copenhagen in 1957, the World Santa Claus Congress moved to Aalborg on Denmark's Jutland peninsula two years ago.
The annual gathering will celebrate its 70th anniversary next year.
SANTA CLAUS REUNITES WITH THE MEDICAL TEAM WHO SAVED HIS LIFE AFTER A CRITICAL CARDIAC EVENT
Originally created to entertain children, the congress has since grown into a popular meeting place for the men and women who portray Santa Claus and his North Pole coterie during the Christmas season in stores, shopping malls and holiday events around the world.
Participants traveled all the way from countries including Norway and Japan to exchange stories, compare beards, sharpen their craft and prepare for another busy Christmas season.
The packed schedule includes gingerbread-eating contests, gift-wrapping competitions, balloon modeling and several lively parades through Aalborg's sun-drenched streets.
"The grandmas say: 'Oh, it's too early to come here,'" organizer Peter Gislund, who also serves as Santa Claus in Aalborg during the Christmas season, told The Associated Press.
The children, however, reacted as most children tend to upon seeing Santa Claus.
"The kids say: 'Hooray! Santa's here already,'" he added.

Social media was not impressed by Norway subbing off Erling Haaland with their World Cup on the line
Norway's boat-rowing (even if historically inaccurate) run through the World Cup has come to an end after a 2-1 quarterfinal loss to England.
The match wasn't without controversy, however, as Norway surprisingly substituted one of the tournament's most electric players, Erling Haaland.
The Manchester City star had seven goals in the tournament, but was kept scoreless on Saturday.
WATCH THE WORLD CUP FINAL ON FOX ONE
Worse yet, it was a pre-corner foul of his that cost Norway what would've been their second goal of the match.
However, it was shocking to see the 25-year-old get subbed off in favor of Jorgen Strand Larsen.
Of course, many wondered whether Haaland had sustained an injury, but let's just say the decision to pull him with 15 minutes left in extra time and Norway trailing by a goal wasn't a popular one on social media.
Jeez, tell us how you really feel!
NORWAY'S WORLD CUP KIT REFLECTS THE NATION'S CHRISTIAN HERITAGE WITH MEANINGFUL HISTORIC DETAILS
Of course, we'll certainly get some more info on this after the fact — I'm not super familiar with Norwegian sports media, but I'm sure they'll ask manager Ståle Solbakken about this one — but it's still disappointing.
Haaland had an incredible tournament and became one of the most popular players in it. It's just a bummer to see his tournament end with him sitting on the bench, whether that was due to injury or because of a questionable substitution.
It was still a great run for Norway, and I don't think it would be wild to see something like this again four years from now in Saudi Arabia at the next World Cup.
But now, the tournament is almost down to its final four.
France and Spain will face off in one semifinal match, while the Three Lions await the winner of Saturday night's match between Argentina and Switzerland.
Gunfire shatters Toronto Latin street festival, leaving at least 2 dead and multiple wounded
The Toronto Police Service is investigating after gunfire broke out Saturday night at a large Latin street festival in Midtown Toronto, leaving at least two people dead and four others wounded.
Police said they received reports of a shooting at St. Clair Avenue West and Arlington Avenue at 8:12 p.m. local time and discovered an active shooter situation.
First responders found six people suffering from gunshot wounds, officials said. Two of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene.

It is unclear what led to the shooting, and authorities said suspect(s) are still "outstanding."
Following the shooting, the Toronto Transit Commission suspended train stops at the nearby St. Clair West station on Line 1 Yonge-University due to what officials described as a "security incident."
Regular transit service has since resumed.

The Toronto Police Service told Fox News Digital no further information is available.

'Die Hard' actor Robert Davi blasts Mamdani after NYC map omits Little Italy
"Die Hard" actor Robert Davi blasted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani Friday after a city map highlighting immigrant enclaves omitted Little Italy.
The "New York City Immigrant Enclaves" map resurfaced on social media earlier this week after users pointed out it omitted Little Italy, as well as historically Jewish and Irish neighborhoods, despite highlighting 30 immigrant communities across the five boroughs.
Following criticism from Italian-American groups, the city said it plans to update the map to include Little Italy.
Davi, who was born in Astoria, Queens, lashed out at Mamdani in a video posted on X, calling him a "jerk" for snubbing Little Italy.
"I hope every New York Italian American and Irish American spits on you when they see you," Davi said. "I would spit on you if I saw you. Shame on you, you garbage man. Shame on you. Respect the city you're in and understand the people who helped build it."
"My grandparents came from Sicily and Naples and they taught me, speak the English. This is America. God bless America," the 75-year-old "Licence to Kill" actor said.
ZOHRAN MAMDANI PRAISED FOR 'FANTASTIC' QUESTION-DODGING ON PRESIDENTIAL ELIGIBILITY
"My grandfather enlisted in World War I and got wounded three times … he helped build New York City as an immigrant, an Italian immigrant," he continued.
The veteran actor also suggested the mayor, whom he described as a "leftist Marxist Communist," leave the United States.
"Go back to where you were born, Mamdani," Davi said. "You don't belong in America."
MAMDANI BLASTS ICE AGENTS, ELON MUSK AND 'SUPREMACY' IN AMERICA 250 SPEECH AHEAD OF JULY 4 WEEKEND
Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, and moved to the United States when he was 7 years old.
Davi also suggested there should be a constitutional amendment preventing Mamdani from running for public office.
"You should spend time in America, at least a generation, especially those of you that come from a country that has a totally different philosophical ideology bent," he said.
The mayor's office previously directed Fox News Digital to remarks Mamdani made during an unrelated press conference Friday, where he defended the map and said it had originally been created under the previous administration in 2023.
"This map was initially created by the prior administration in 2023, and when we inherited it, we added a few additional neighborhoods," Mamdani said. "It's clearly not an exhaustive list of the more than 200 ethnic communities that call our city home, and we're going to be making additional changes in the future to reflect that and that includes Little Italy."
Fox News Digital has reached out to Mamdani's office for comment.
According to the Library of Congress, more than 4 million Italians immigrated to the United States between the 1880s and 1924, with roughly one-third settling in New York City.

Last American to use an iron lung dies at 78 years old after childhood polio diagnosis
A 78-year-old Oklahoma woman who was diagnosed with polio as a child and was the last American to rely on an iron lung to live has died.
Martha Lillard found out she had the once-feared disease when she was 5 years old, which left her paralyzed from the neck down, and required her to use the machine to help her breathe while she slept.
Lillard contracted COVID-19 twice during the pandemic, which left her in the machine nearly 24 hours a day.
DEADLY LEGIONNAIRES' DISEASE OUTBREAK SPARKS CONCERN IN MAJOR US CITY: KNOW THE SYMPTOMS
"They told her she wasn't supposed to live past 20 years old," her younger sister, Cindy McVey, told The Associated Press on Friday. "She had the enthusiasm and the drive to continue living and make the best of her life."
Despite having polio, Lillard was able to go to school two hours a day as a child, and she had tutors the rest of the time. She also used an intercom phone system that allowed her to interact with her teachers and classmates from home.
Lillard was even able to take road trips as a child because of a custom trailer that could accommodate the iron lung and her father making sure their hotels had wide enough doors for the machine.
An iron lung is a negative-pressure ventilator that would help a patient with paralyzed lung muscles breathe.
EXPERIMENTAL VACCINE SHOWS PROMISE AGAINST DANGEROUS INTESTINAL ILLNESS
The disease once caused thousands of cases of paralysis in children during outbreaks each year in the first part of the 20th century before a vaccine became available in 1955.
By 1979, polio was considered eliminated in the U.S.
Later, Lillard was able to regain the use of her left arm and legs through therapy and was even able to drive for a time.
She lived independently for many years, even marrying earlier this year to a man from Egypt she corresponded with for two decades after he was able to obtain a visa.
THESE LEAFY GREENS COULD HELP PROTECT YOUR LUNGS, STUDY SUGGESTS
"They were really soul mates," McVey said. "He's extremely brokenhearted."
Lillard, who her sister said wrote poetry and volunteered with the Humane Society, had just 25% lung capacity before she was diagnosed with COVID.
She died of chronic pulmonary failure and post-polio syndrome, according to her death certificate.
Her sister added that it was related to the effects of long-haul COVID.

Kristin Cavallari admits her kids fly coach while she sits in first class
Kristin Cavallari is admitting to the same parenting move that got another celebrity mom in trouble with her fans.
During a recent interview on the "Aspire with Emma Grede" podcast, the 39-year-old reality TV star shared that she doesn't give her children a free pass in life, and "if they want something, they have to work for it."
"I try to be very hyper-aware of that because they are growing up in a very fortunate situation, and I want them to know this is my money. This is not your money," she explained. "Something as small as they fly coach. I'm flying in first class. That was important to me when they became old enough."
She joked that now that they are old enough to where she can trust them not to fight while they're alone on the plane, it is easy for her to leave them and say, "Bye guys, have fun back there."
Fans loved the idea of Cavallari enjoying a luxury flight on her own while her kids sat in economy, with one YouTube comment reading, "She's a real one for flying her kids coach while she is in first class haha."
Cavallari shares three kids with her ex-husband, Jay Cutler: sons Camden, 13, Jaxon, 12, and daughter Saylor, 10.
While on the podcast, "The Hills" star also spoke about her divorce from Cutler, who she was married to from 2013 to 2022, saying what gave her the "confidence to leave my marriage was the success of" her jewelry and skincare brand, Uncommon James.
"Which is interesting because if I didn't have Uncommon James, I could have taken half of his money, right? But because I had this company, there was a really large asset on our balance sheet.

"I didn't get anything, which I'm so happy about now. But I don't get any money from my ex-husband. I had to give him half the value of Uncommon James in cash and properties and everything else. Yeah. Isn't that interesting?"
The "Very Cavallari" star's admission comes shortly after singer Jessica Simpson defended herself for sitting in first class with her mother but without her children and her then-husband, Eric Johnson.
Simpson's solo trip in first class became public knowledge after her ex-husband, Nick Lachey, who was also on the flight with Simpson, exposed her during an appearance on an episode of "Watch What Happens Live!" in May.
"I believe her kids and her — I’m not familiar with where they stand, but — her husband, maybe, were on the plane but not with us," he said, later confirming they were "in a separate class of service."

When asked about her ex-husband's comments by paparazzi when at the airport later that month, Simpson clarified, "My mom bought those tickets. It was my mom’s treat for us to go to Hawaii."
Simpson shares three kids with her estranged husband: Maxwell, 14, Ace, 12, and Birdie, 7.

"The way we played, how we played, sloppy, lot of technical mistakes, not fast enough, not repetitive enough, we were lucky today," he said.
Tuchel then got into a heated back-and-forth with the interviewer over a question about the team's mindset, as he insisted the team's issue was not due to "mentality" but "quality."
"Overall, we got lucky today," he later repeated.
ENGLAND'S JORDAN HENDERSON OFFICIALLY RULED OUT AFTER FREAK FALL CAUSES FRACTURE, OPTS FOR SURGERY
England star Jude Bellingham scored in the third minute of extra time to lift England to the win.
Bellingham's goal was his second of the match after he also found the equalizer late in the first half. The Real Madrid star is now tied with England teammate Harry Kane for six goals in the tournament, trailing only France's Kylian Mbappé and Argentina's Lionel Messi, who have eight apiece.
