Mick Jagger
Sir Michael Philip "Mick" Jagger Kt (born 26 July 1943) is an English singer, songwriter and actor, best known as the lead vocalist and a co-founder of The Rolling Stones.
Jagger's career has spanned over 50 years, and he has been described as "one of the most popular and influential frontmen in the history of rock & roll". His distinctive voice and performance, along with Keith Richards' guitar style, have been the trademark of the Rolling Stones throughout the career of the band. Jagger gained press notoriety for his admitted drug use and romantic involvements, and was often portrayed as a countercultural figure. In the late 1960s Jagger began acting in films (starting with Performance and Ned Kelly), to mixed reception. In 1985 Jagger released his first solo album, She's the Boss. In early 2009 he joined the electric supergroup SuperHeavy.
In 1989 Jagger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2004 into the UK Music Hall of Fame with the Rolling Stones. In 2003 he was knighted for his services to popular music.
The Mick Jagger Centre
The Mick Jagger Centre is a performing arts venue in Dartford, Kent. It is on the site of Dartford Grammar School; however, it is open to the local community. The Centre is named after the Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger, who was a pupil at the school. It has two main stages and holds theatre workshops in the summer.
Facilities
There are two main performance spaces, a recording studio, rehearsal rooms, a bar and gallery. The Small Room has a capacity of 150 seated; the Big Room can seat 350 or hold 600 standing.
History
The centre cost £2.25m, and was funded by a National Lottery grant of £1.7m with a further contribution from Jagger himself. Construction on the arena started in 1998 and it was opened in March 2000 by the Duke of Kent and Jagger. At its opening, Jagger was persuaded by a student to sign the wall of one of the new music classrooms with 'I was back' which he did, the memento still being displayed today.
Associated organisations
The Mick Jagger Centre is the home of the Orchestra of the Thames Gateway, a professional orchestra with an ambitious programme of commissioning new works from local composers to reflect the local region. A Concerto for saxophone by composer Adrian Smith was premiered in late 2009, followed by a Violin Concerto composed by Sarah Freestone.

Charmed Life
by: Mick JaggerYeah!
I'm livin' a charmed life
Whoo!
Yeah! I'm livin' a charmed life
When I walk out of my front door
I'm livin' a charmed life
Put my foot down in the fast lane... huh
And I'm livin' a charmed life
I move to the left
I move to the right
Watch out for the husband
Stay close to the wife
Yeah!
I'm livin' a charmed life (Charmed life)
Whoo! Yeah!
On edge of a nerve
When I step out on the dance floor
Charmed life (Charmed life)
I move to the left
I move to the right
Ahhhh
When I'm walkin' on the North edge
I'm livin' a charmed life
Yeah
Hangin' by a left-up tiny thread
Be a sacrifice
Look out...
Yeah!
I'm livin' a charmed life (Charmed life)
Whoo! Yeah!
I'm livin' a charmed life (Charmed life)
Whoo!
[18 sec. harmonica solo]
Mmmm... I like to keep my head way down in this town
Someday I like to stand up
I hope my body'll prowl-l-l
Come on. Charmed life. (Charmed life)
Go on, come on!
I'm livin' a charmed life. (Charmed life)
Yeah... yeah! Livin' a charmed life. (Charmed life)
Whooo! Yeah! Livin' a charmed life. (Charmed life)
Whoo! Yeah! Livin' a charmed life.
Whoo! Yeah! Livin' a charmed life.
