Mick Jagger and Keith Richards shared insights on their new album Foreign Tongues and personal reflections during recent Billboard interviews. Jagger spoke from a London garden while Richards was interviewed in Manhattan. The discussions covered music covers, technology preferences and past acting experiences.
The Rolling Stones addressed their cover of Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good" on the album. Jagger noted that the band sought a recent female vocalist's song and found the track organic due to its minor-key harmonica lead, which he adapted.
Richards praised Winehouse as one of England's best talents with untapped potential. He recalled sharing a stage with her in 2007 at the Isle of Wight Festival.
Richards revealed he owns no cellphone and relies on a landline to avoid constant interruptions while working. Jagger reflected on acting opportunities, noting reduced prejudice against singers today compared to earlier decades when he appeared in films like Performance.
