Mick Jagger reflected on the Rolling Stones’ new album, “Foreign Tongues,” and shared stories about fellow music legends David Bowie and John Lennon during a new episode of “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend.”
Mick said he intentionally avoids nostalgia when making new music, explaining that “Foreign Tongues” was created for today’s listeners rather than looking back.
He also recalled how David Bowie pushed him to become more competitive and described John Lennon as “very competitive” when it came to humor and sarcasm.
