Keith Richards and Mick Jagger have had their issues over the years, but Richards’ frustration over Jagger’s solo career threatened to break up The Rolling Stones. The guitarist resented the fact that Jagger prioritized his solo music over a Rolling Stones tour. It didn’t help that he flat-out disliked Jagger’s album. In his memoir, Richards disparaged his bandmate’s album. Here’s the surprising reason he compared it to Mein Kampf.
Keith Richards openly disliked Mick Jagger’s solo album
While The Rolling Stones worked on their album Dirty Work, Jagger simultaneously promoted his debut solo album, She’s the Boss. Richards found this frustrating, at least partly because he didn’t think the album was worth it.
“Mick’s album was called She’s the Boss, which said it all,” he wrote in his memoir Life. “I’ve never listened to the entire thing all the way through.

The Academy Awards aren’t known for their stellar music performances, though there have been some very notable exceptions over the years. Isaac Hayes delivered a career-defining “Theme From Shaft” performance at the 1972 ceremony, Björk rocked “I’ve Seen It All” in her swan dress in 2001, Adele crushed “Skyfall” in 2013 and Mariah Carey staged a diva-off with Whitey Houston in 1999 for The Prince of Egypt’s “When You Believe.” And just this past week, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper revived “Shallow” from A Star Is Born and stole the show.
