Frank Zappa

In July 1968, Jagger and Marianne Faithfull visited Frank Zappa in The Log Cabin: "...a subbasement which had probably been a wine cellar. It was rustic and decrepit; it really looked like an old-time log cabin, with rough-hewn wood, bristling with splinters. On the day Mick Jagger stopped by for his first visit, one of the above-mentioned splinters crammed itself into the end of the big toe on my right foot, just as I was making my way to the door. I greeted Mr. Jagger, hopping on one foot. He asked why I was behaving in this manner. I told him about the splinter and hobbled over to a chair. He followed, got on the floor in front of me, located the little wooden tormentor and removed it. We spent about an hour after that discussing European history." - Frank Zappa - The Real Frank Zappa Book.

Zappa originally considered Jagger for his film 200 Motels (The Film) (1971) as a nun, but he wasn't available, so the role went to Keith Moon. [1]

Mick Jagger was mentioned and thanked in the liner notes of The MOFO Project/Object (2006) album. [2]

Jagger and Jerry Hall's daughter, Lizzy Jagger, owns Zappa's former house at 7885 Woodrow Wilson Drive, after Lady Gaga sold it to her in 2023. [3]
