Retirement Home Swag

Mick Jagger is a singer from the Rolling Stones. A popular band, but also an old one.


I understand that he is a living legend in the music world, but what does he know about swag? Swag is a relatively new term, and something Mick never thought about when he was in his prime. Is there a reason that Mick Jagger is the new face of swagger other than the fact that his last name rhymes with the word?

It all seems to start with the song Tik Tok, where Ke$ha claims that she kicks guys to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger. Well, Mick is a senior citizen now and probably not the most desirable man alive. Now we have the songs Swagger Jagger and Moves Like Jagger coming out. People need to find a new person to epitomize swag. While Tik Tok was a popular song, it was also Ke$ha's first big solo single. Typically record labels give new artists weaker songs because they want to save good material for their more popular artists. At the time Tik Tok was recorded, Ke$ha was unknown.

So I just don't get it. Why Mick Jagger?
