As an ultrademon, he enjoyed and enjoys his existence and everything is fine. That is how I define Mick Jagger, after having squinted at the pages of his unauthorized biography. Facts like the Rolling Stone having experienced London in the 70s, between orgies, high society parties, casual relationships, magic powders, syringes for breakfast e otras cositas más  − that are part of a rock n' roll star’s lifestyle − do not shock or amaze me. It’s expected.

It's just Mick Jagger being Mick Jagger. Are they are transgressions of the so-called normal and ordinary life? Yes. But when it comes to Jagger, everything sounds so natural, like a priest preaching during his mass. So why so much noise if the ring was raised in flames of fire? For nothing. Just for the sake of controversy.

The rumours started a while after the book was released. I heard that, in the Portuguese version, some of it was changed. Was it because some people mentioned are Brazilian? Maybe they don’t want to expose themselves any longer? Maybe... and who would they be? One of Jagger’s most famous groupies, Luciana Gimenez, now a family lady, and her mother, the “pure and demure” Vera. The first one was not even described as a TV show host, but as a ¨latina¨. And in the deal made between her lawyers and journalist and author C. Anderson (he was not a multimillionaire at the time), it was demanded that the author should not mention her story with Jagger, the unorthodox circumstances in which their son Lucas was conceived, for instance. To read the sordid details, we have to buy the English version of the biography. Also, the term ¨soft porn actress¨ attributed to her mother, Vera, was replaced by “actress¨ only. Nothing that a good lawyer wouldn’t achieve. And so it was done.

Christopher Anderson, the author, claims that every word he writes is true. But he does not know his words were distorted  for fear of the repercussions in tropical lands. He said he didn't know that unauthorized biographies are still banned in Brazil. And that, close to the release of the book, he had made two adjustments and answered three requirements of the publisher. Okay, let's pretend we believe it.

If Jagger went to hell and made his home there, there is no  evidence. But let’s remember one of the Rolling Stone’s most iconic song, Sympathy for The Devil. They also released an album called Voodoo Lounge and made puns to the phrase printed in the English Passport ("Her Britannic Majesty requests…),  naming one of their album as Their Satanic Majesties Requests  His fire powers are said to be there, in a supposed pact, he has with devil. It reminds me of a phrase that I like: “Better to burn out than fade away”. And that's up to him, here's the man.

He dated David Bowie. He slept with Angelina Jolie. Had sex with Carla Bruni. The list is long. Nobody escaped his magic. This desire to get satisfaction while sucking the vital energy of everyone… he converts it into pure pleasure, and that is what keeps one young ”, explained a psychiatrist here in London, who analyzed Mick Jagger face to face and hand to hand. As he confessed, he succumbed to Jagger's charms and lay down with him.

Mick sucks the blood of others like a thirsty vampire. This is his juice. It nourishes you and makes you more alive. His three children, the official ones,  are always on the pages of the shallowest British magazines. And they amuse me on Instagram with their collection of frivolities. Good, I hope life is lighter and funnier like the chewing gum that Georgia Jagger chews, or like the palette colours on Lucas' nails.

In addition, Mick Jagger remains loose and hunting around. Singing and dancing, like a bat boy, as the devil likes. I can say that everything is rose-coloured with them. But if it was red, it would fit better, don’t you agree?
