    I'm still smiling with your answer. And it's a wise question.  :)

    Neither.  I'm not into old guys.

      You’re not expected to answer for yourself, instead, you are speaking for your cats. You are their voice.

    Cats would obviously be partial to Rod Stewart.

    Mick Jagger -- I prefer his, and The Rolling Stones,'  music by far.

    Like them both for different reasons.  Rod Stewart sings different music now that he is older, I like most of it.  Mick Jagger is awesome as well, he puts on an electric show where Stewart is more mellow. 

    I have a funny story about the Rolling Stones.  They came in the Whisky A Go Go n Hollywood before they were really famous (at least I had never heard of them) and sang, I was not impressed, when I found out the name "The Rolling Stones," I laughed and said, "they will never make it."  OMG, how wrong I was.  I lived just a few blocks away and would walk there to listen to the music.  If I remember correctly it was during the day sort of an impromptu mini performance.  So long ago, hope I didn't get the details wrong. 
    The next time I did hear the Stones, I was impressed, they had changed a lot. 

    In Hollywood, if there was music, I was there as much as possible. So much great music played, lost forever, not everything was recorded back then.  Sometimes I almost cry at the loss, it breaks my heart. 

    Now that I think about it, never did get involved with groups of people, traveled alone, for the most part, did my own thing which was listen to music.  Did attempt to break into dancing, Modern Jazz,  didn't know how to network, knew nothing about the Hollywood scene, I thank God for that now, my life may have taken an ugly turn from which I could never escape. 


    Guess I'd go with Jagger.

    Very interesting! SO interesting, even! Well-written, too. Glad I saw your answer this morning. :)

    Some of my experiences that I would call " 'best-for-me' experiences " I have done alone - - vacation trips to places that interested me, concerts, seeing movies [ "William Friedkin's "Bug," Michael Haneke's 1997 original "Funny Games" (not his own American remake), Matt Reeves' original 2008 "Cloverfield," Kasi Lemmons' 2019 "Harriet" all quickly come to mind  :)  ].

    Wow, we sound like kindred spirits. I have discovered there are so many mind blowing musicians that never "made it," so to speak, while J Lo has become a star using other people to sing her songs. Such a travesty for us all, we have been denied enjoying the greatness and hearts of others through their music.

    The day the Stones were there another group also sang a song..I wonder if it was an audition.  The other group also became famous but I don't remember their name.  "The Rolling Stones," stood out because it was so unusual. 

    Additionally, during that time, I never heard of drugs not even pot.  Never saw anyone doing drugs, talk about drugs or offer me any. If they were around, the people doing them did it in secret.

    Your best-for-me experiences sound wonderful.

    I agree with your point.
    And I enjoyed hearing more about your Rolling Stones experience. Yes, more than once, I've connected to things you've shared, too. And I do remember your liking, like I do, that post with Thomas Newman's short music moment called "The Farm" from the movie 'Road to Perdition.'

    Yes, the best-for-me experiences I shared up there were SO very great for me.

    Watching "the bug" right now.  Has me on the edge of my seat, really good so far.  Every time I see a video of people doing the "zombie" drugs, I'll think of this movie.  "The Bug" was way ahead of its time for sure. Really good movie, thanks for the tip.

    Just letting you know I didn't find a movie called "The Bug" --
    but I know of at least two movies called "Bug." One is from  1975 and directed by Jeannot Szwarc.
    And the one that I mentioned in my comment to you up there was director William Friedkin's "Bug" from 2006; Ashley Judd is one of  the cast members. So if you're looking for the movie that was a huge compelling experience for me, it was Friedkin's 2006 "Bug."

    But I hope you enjoying whatever Bug you're watching, ha!  :)

    Didn't realize "the bug"was movie until I researched it.  Going to have to watch it now, I'm sure it's good if you like it.

    Oh wait, it's a horror movie, will have to work up to that.  Don't like to watch things that will make a lasting impression on my tender heart, lol, I'm very protective in that regard.

    Jagger. Back in the day, he could sing - sort of. The hoarse rasping of Stewart, or Joe Cocker, or even Janis Joplin has never been my thing.

    Maybe that's my thing with Stewart's voice, too.

    The only two songs I could think of by Janis Joplin are Take a Piece of my Heart and Me and Bobby McGee and I do like both of them.

    Neither one. I'll go with Bill Haley and Rick Nelson.
