Mick Jagger Remembers the 'Good Times' With David Bowie

Mick's son, James Jagger, shared his own fond memories of his dad and the late music icon.

They were “very close”. 💕 (dancing in the sheets)

The “ good times”. We all know what those were

Mick Jagger and David Bowie: two great legends, two great friends.
R. I. P. David

0:07 Mick Interpreter - We, ah we used to go out in New York a lot, yknow we used to go out dancing all the time in New York, cause uh David and I lived in New York, both of us at that time so we had a lot of fun times and uh yeah so it was y'know nice to remember them.

Apparently Bowies self confidence in being a trend-setter rebel came largely from Jagger himself when Bowie heard Jagger reply to a stranger who said "cut your bleeding hair" Jagger responded " What, and look like you?". That was all Bowie needed. He thought, yep, that is cool...".

Their version of Dancing In The Street (song and video both knocked out in less than 24 hours total) was two legends ripping the piss out of themselves and each other for charity.
Made a few quid for good causes, raised a few smiles = exactly what it was intended to do.
Anyone trying to judge either career on the basis of that track is kinda missing the point.
Anyone who can't recall anything more significant from Bowie's life has some catching up to do.

After seeing Harry Styles impersonation on SNL I can't help but laugh and smile while watching this.

They were the best of friends, just like Elton John and John Lennon.

It's really special to get to see Mick Jagger's son James Jagger doing an interview. Wow. Definitely has the genes for good looks, talent and smarts. Moved by the statement James said It's so 80s! Referring to the song Dancing in the Streets. Everyone knows that one for sure and its my favorite.

History repeating itself in one direction

Thanks to the trio of Mick & David for a download of the track. Something to live by & remember the days past & present.

Yeah, taking a look at dancing in the streets, Bowie really didn't give a shit.

[frankdis]

Clearly all of Jagger's recessive genes have gone to his son.

Don't go overboard Mick with your grief he was only your life long friend for 40 odd years (we had some good laughs)...eish

[renataostertag]

"Him and my old man" ! Wow - Mick in spite of the lines he has now NEVER struck me as an "old man". Never!
James starts to resemble Mick now - it's nice to see.

[oldnwise]

James Jagger comes across as a nice lad....

[samuelphillips]

Between rooting kids and rooting each other it is amazing they had enough time to make the music

I'm not crying, you're crying.

I'm reposting here. I love Mick Jagger and anything he does musically. He is creative, energetic and still alive and making music matter. I had an idea of who is Mick jagger and wanted to ask you all what you think. What word can you find to described Mick Jagger? I have followed his band the Rolling Stones for many years and my word would be energetic. He is healthy and for his age, he can still do what many cannot do at even age 45. He is the Man! I hope that someone will play with me? One word to describe Mick.

"That's my memory of David Bowie; him and my old man dancing in the can't think of a worse way to honor his memory.

Harry Styles looks like his son more than his real son 😂
