Members should not make OPs and then not check-in and respond. Especially when it is guaranteed to be controversial or popular.

Maybe the OP's dog just died? What's their excuse?

the thread, yet the OP refused to pull it. Even worse, it ended up with hundreds of rec's, the vast majority which came after it was debunked.

The lack of discernment on DU is dismaying.

Whatever bullshit they use to rationalize it. It’s simply makes them feel good to hurt people.

on Jan 1st. They eat their own, just ask farmers.

I assumed Mick was talking about the US, but maybe not.
It boggles my mind ....

saw this meme on fb. there’s been a trend of putting words like this in celeb’s mouths.

eta- it’s not on his xitter account.

Twenty-five years ago, I saw memes with Robin Williams's image and quotes falsely attributed to him.

He's not afraid, and it is his image which he cares about.

that turns up in his name. I suspect they have better things to do. Notice that it took at least 2 weeks to come to DU's notice. Also notice it was attributed to Mickey Dolenz around the same date.

I have seen the post several times, so it is getting attention.

Who his ex-wife Jerry Hall went on to marry and stay with until just a few years ago. Hopefully he told him off a few times.

Having experienced a kind of joy in seeing the MAGA crowd get owned by their own actions. Empathy and compassion have no political leanings.

He gets it

years old or older, so say 2006/2007 and onward).

Jagger has never been a role model for me personally, same for Dylan and many others from that era.

Bob Marley is a large exception, of course.

That is the walk I meant

It turns up as an all-caps caption beneath a picture of him, but no-one ever said where he said it, or when. The longest "quote" I can find is here:

https://oldies.azexplained.com/extremely-dissatisfied-in-an-unexpected-and-deeply-emotional-statement-rolling-stones-frontman-mick-jagger-has-spoken-out-against-what-he-describes-as-a-disturbing-new-phenomenon-o.html

That adds other 'quotes' from him like “I came of age when people had nothing, when we leaned on each other just to get by,” he reflected. “Now I see young people, even whole groups, filming themselves dancing or cheering while someone else lies hurt or humiliated. That is not just cruel — it is a sickness.”; or "crowds cheering not at concerts, not at victories, but at pain, death, and humiliation". But I can't find anything else claiming he said that.

A Rolling Stones Facebook fan group posted it on 18th Sept. https://www.facebook.com/groups/347378540986064/posts/798062492584331/ Some said it was fake; one reply claims it comes from Rolling Stone magazine, but I can't find that interview (which you'd think Rolling Stone would advertise heavily, even if they don't make it freely available, to get people to subscribe).

Snopes investigated various claims about what Jagger supposedly said after Kirk was shot - and concluded he'd said nothing. This one sounds rather like:

While your post has excellent information, it should have been a response to the OP, not to me, as I made NO claim about the origin.

Here's a Facebook post from Sep. 17, attributing it to Micky Dolenz:

It looks fake to me.

Hearing it put this way has chocked me up. Total cruelty on display.

I still kind of like the quote, whoever said it. It always angered me when I saw the pictures of Noem posing in front of prison cells.

It doesn't bother me all that much that we get so many BS posts (I doubt any online forums can escape them) but it's extremely disheartening to see how very popular they seem to be on DU.

QAnon!

I figured it was real. I,am not good with cutting and pasting on my phone.

If you want I can take this down. Geez.

See reply #17, where it was also attributed to Micky Dolenz, a couple of weeks ago.

Didn't seem he had an account there, I I figured it was something started by someone other than him. I looked at your profile and can see you been here a LONG time and decent number of posts so I figured you were just sharing something you saw, no mal-intent. I think for what was posted, even if it wasn't correct, a lot of the replies here are a little over the top. It wasn't world changing stuff.

be multiple news stories about it, and that can be easily confirmed by searching for the celebrity's name along with at least several words of the quote (in quotes). If you can't find a news story about it, just random social media posts, with no attribution to a published source or video, it's fake.

I know that means a few minutes' work. But you owe it to DUers not to post fake quotes.

The group's history says it was called the "MICK JAGGER" group until March 2025. It's just fans. And several replies say it's fake.

But yeah, the Sept 18th date points to it being fabricated for the Charlie Kirk killing.

and Republicans are getting some kind of sick thrill every time a child gets brutalized by masked ICE thugs.

'Well, Mick would have said that if he thought about it!'

and

'It feels good to think he said that.'

But as Abraham Lincoln said . . . you can't believe a lot of what you see on the internet!

It is not attributable.

Just like the people who made up the quote wanted people to believe that Jagger was pro-Charlie Kirk, just like them.

Next time, maybe the fake celebrity quote should be just "I agree with you!!!", and then it can be used on all occasions, by all sides, and attributed to anyone we feel like.

"Mick never said that." - Abraham Lincoln

"I agree with Abe." - Albert Einstein

"So do I." - Mark Twain
