Concerts: A Refuge from Reality

Mick Jagger thinks people go to concerts to let loose and have a good time. They don't want to worry about their mortgages, jobs, or politics. For a few hours, they want to forget about the world's problems. Jagger compares going to a concert to watching a sports game. When you're at a game, you're focused on the action on the field, not on your daily worries.

Jagger's comments come after his friend, Bruce Springsteen, used his tour to speak out against President Trump. Springsteen called the Trump administration "reckless" and "treasonous." He even wrote a song criticizing Trump and his policies. This didn't sit well with Trump, who called Springsteen a "dried-up prune" and encouraged his supporters to boycott Springsteen's tour.

Jagger isn't against music with a political message. He often includes a verse or two about politics in his songs. But he thinks audiences want to hear a balanced mix of topics, not just politics. When people attend a concert, they want to be entertained and have a good time.

Jagger believes performers should adapt to their audience. Every crowd is different, and what works for one group may not work for another. A good performer knows how to read the room and adjust their act accordingly.

At the end of the day, Jagger thinks his job is to give people an unforgettable experience. He wants his fans to leave the concert feeling happy and energized, not lectured or preached to. For two hours, people want to escape reality and just enjoy themselves.
