Jagger has no particular working routine, nor, indeed, any routine at all. ''I just write all the time," he says. ''And you have to sing every day, too, so you can build up to being, you know, Amazingly Brilliant at the end. If you don't do it every day, then you lose it—you lose the ability to singfor very long. I did three songs today, just practicing. I threw everyone out of the studio.
Jagger's little butterfly dance still conveys much the same thing, and by now it's seeped into every aspect of his life. To be Mick Jagger is to preserve above all else the ability to boogie out of reach, to avoid any subject and any definition, to hover around a persona without getting trapped in it. Put your finger on him and you touch dust.
Jerry tosses me an apologetic glance."Y'all want tea?" she drawls, before disappearing in the direction of the studio's kitchen. Watching her now, I remember what a friend of hers told me:"Jerry's perfect for Mick," he said."You know, when he was married to Bianca [first wife Bianca Perez Morena de Macias, whom he divorced in 1980], she never made a real home for him, because Bianca's basically a gypsy.
There are those who say he's strict with his children too, but according to Jagger,"that's a lot of crap. It depends what your marker is. I don't think I'm strict, but you know if they get really out of line you owe it to them to try and pull them back a bit. But it doesn't happen very often.
He glances over at the children, who are now playing happily under Jerry's serene gaze, scrawling pictures on a plastic drawing board installed in the studio specifically for the progeny of newly housebroken hellions like Jagger. He takes a reading of my face, which undoubtedly betrays more surprise than I know—I hadn't exactly expected him to spit brimstone and smoke opium before my eyes, but I hadn't quite expected Captain and Mrs. Kangaroo, either. He flashes his enormous grin.
It soon became mass snobbery. Many of the fans who flocked around Jagger and the Stones during the sixties turned out to be the loose-cannon scions of England's most illustrious families—the Guinnesses, the Ormsby-Gores, the Tennants, the Lambtons—and Jagger has built on those friendships over the decades.
"Everybody loves it," says a frequent guest."You're staying with Mick and Jerry in France, and everyone comes down to dinner in drag, and it's just huge fun. Masses of people sort of screaming, running in and out of each other's bedrooms, applying makeup to the boys. The English and the Irish—because he adores the mad Irish—love to do this. It's wild upper-class house-party behavior. It's nothing kinky or sexual. And Jerry has very much cottoned on to this.
