In what’s a thinly veiled promotion for their just-released, Scorsese-directed, career-spanning, documentary feature, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (at a cumulative age of 128) address YouTube nation as its first Living Legends. Once a month, the program will feature “luminaries from around the world to communicate directly with the YouTube community by answering your questions and becoming a genuine participant on the site.” Here it is from the original tongue and lip:
###Instead of pop stars, future months are set to showcase people prolific in “film, sports, politics, and a whole lot more.” So far, I have to say I kinda agree with oldhacks, who commented that Mick Jagger isn’t a living legend, “Mick Jagger is a pop star. There’s a HUGE difference!”
YouTube has the opportunity to highlight some truly extraordinary people. I suppose Mick Jagger is one, but that his coronation coincides with his movie premiere cheapens the honor. Until there’s a legend that’s less shill, I’ll stick to watching vids about people trying to do legendary things.
Queen Rania of Jordan just started her own YouTube channel to “encourage a global dialog to dismantle stereotypes of the Muslim and the Arab world.” That should be a good place to start.
