Famed musician Mick Jagger believes he has a very specific role as an entertainer. Unlike most aging rockers who have decided that they need to become part-time political pundits, Jagger says he has no interest in getting into that realm.

And they can have just the best time. It’s similar, going to a sports event, really… you’re not worrying about everything else. Those things are out of your mind.” “So that’s my job, is to make them have the best time… And you don’t want to lecture them.” This stands in contrast to artists like Bruce Springsteen, who has positioned himself as something of an anti-Trump poster boy.

These are tough questions, but this is a fair outlet for you – a fair platform. I will treat you with respect.” pic.twitter.com/15VOBZIxAd — Dan Patrick Show (@dpshow) July 10, 2026 “Yesterday we were hoping to do an interview with Cathy Engelbert; she’s the WNBA commissioner,” Patrick said, revealing that she had initially agreed to the sitdown. “So yesterday after the show, we waited almost two hours for her.
