17 Jul
Summary
- Jagger reflects on early acting prejudices against singers.
- Richards eschews modern technology, prioritizing privacy.
- The Stones explain their organic cover of Amy Winehouse's song.
The Rolling Stones are featured on the latest Billboard cover, delving into their new album "Foreign Tongues." Mick Jagger and Keith Richards shared insights that didn't fit in the print edition, including their views on artificial intelligence in music and their studio dynamic.
Richards stated he does not own a cellphone, preferring not to be permanently available. He humorously noted that attempts to reach him are unsuccessful. Meanwhile, Jagger reflected on the historical difficulties singers faced securing acting roles, contrasting it with today's industry which often leverages celebrity fame for film projects.
Discussing their cover of Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good," Jagger explained it felt organic, as he could have written the song himself. Richards praised Winehouse as one of England's best, despite her tragic story, and confirmed the band chose her song as a cover candidate from their active music days.
