At a Rolling Stones concert in Vancouver last week, lead singer Mick Jagger was met with loud boos from the audience after he said the Stones “love” the far-left Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
video show “We love Mr. Trudeau. His family have always been big fans of our band,” Mick Jagger told the BC Place crowd between songs Friday night.
“Mick Jagger doesn’t realize how unpopular Justin Trudeau is.”
As soon as Mick Jagger finished his statement, the crowd erupted in boos and the 80-year-old singer was left with a blank look on his face and his mouth open for six or seven seconds.
Mick Jagger then began to smile, and the veteran frontman moved on to a topic he knew would likely elicit a positive response: “By the way, congratulations to the Canadian soccer team for making it to the semi-finals!”
In fact, the team was full of cheers, but in the end Loss They beat Argentina 2-0 in the Copa America semi-finals.
So was the left-wing frontman genuinely shocked by the left’s booing of Trudeau, or was Mick Jagger just toying with the crowd?
He was probably joking when he said the Trudeaus had “always been huge fans of our band.” The Toronto Sun also reported the same.He recalled that Trudeau’s famous mother, Margaret, “partied” with the Stones in the “late 1970s after she split with Justin’s father.”
The Sun has collated comments from X and the Instagram video regarding Jagger’s comments, with one commenter saying that Jagger “isn’t paying attention” and another saying that “Mick Jagger doesn’t realise how unpopular Justin Trudeau is”.
According to the paper, there were also voices praising Jaguar for quickly winning over the crowd, with one saying: “Honestly, it was an incredible turnaround leading up to the Copa America. Well done.”
“Nice save, Mick!” another person commented, according to The Sun. “Referring to Trudeau, [got] Boos echoed across the Pacific, but congratulations to the football team – you saved your lives!”
The paper reported that Prime Minister Margaret Trudeau, while still married to then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, had spent time with the Stones during a performance at a Toronto club.
“We played dice in a hotel suite until about 5 in the morning,” she says. He told Bazaar in 2016“We smoked marijuana and talked. It was a fun night. It was a new world for me. But nobody knew yet that I was separated from my husband and it was a big scandal.”
Vanity Fair In 2017, she wrote that in 1977, she “left her table” at the El Mocambo club to sit at Mick Jagger’s feet as he sang and strutted along, “and she gazed upon him with adoration throughout the performance.”
The Sun quoted the Evening Standard as saying that Mick Jagger later called Margaret Trudeau “a very sick girl looking for something. She found it, but not with me. I’ll never go near her.”
Jagger has been no secret about his sociopolitical opinions lately, especially when it comes to targeting conservatives. A few months ago, at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Jagger took aim at Republican Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry. While discussing the topic of inclusion, Jagger reportedly said of Landry, “He wants to be inclusive, too. Even if he wants to take us back to the Stone Age.”
laundry Fight back: “You don’t always get what you want. Only Mick Jagger remembers the Stone Age. I love you and you’re always welcome in Louisiana!”
Jaguar also doesn’t like former President Donald Trump. To tell “It’s a polite way of saying that everyone outside the United States is a little confused,” he said after winning the 2016 election. Threatened They filed legal action against Trump for using their song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” at a campaign rally.
Sun Said In 2013, Mick Jagger joked about Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who was then embroiled in a controversy over his illegal cocaine use: “I just want you to know one thing: I’m not going to make any jokes tonight about the mayor or anything, OK? That’s too easy. Too easy a target. It’s a bit of a cheap, sneaky attack. So I’m not going to do that. I’m just going to get on with the show.”
