I've got "mixed emotions" today. I'm feeling my age but, on the other hand, I'm so happy one of my favourite rock 'n roll stars is still thriving at the age of 80.

Sir Michael Philip Jagger is celebrating his 80th birthday today.

I once met a man from Argentina who knows Mick well. You see, this guy's father has a place in Peru in the same quiet little community where Mick owns a place. 

Enrique told me his father often met Mick for coffee when he was in town.

I was blown away. What a small world, right?

I asked Enrique if he had ever met Mick and he said, "Yes, I sure have."

I also wondered if Mick could live a normal life in Peru and Enrique told me that Mick could just walk around, dine and shop like everyone else in the community. The locals knew him and left him alone.

I asked Enrique how he approached Mick.  Like, what do you even say when you meet Mick Jagger?

He looked puzzled and smiled and said, "I just say, HELLO, MICK!"
