Howard Stern claimed in a New York Times interview that he heartbreakingly was very lonely as a young man, and he looked to Mick Jagger as a prophet due to this isolation. He said he would love to interview Jagger.
Who’s your dream interview?
Mick Jagger. Oh, my God, I love the Stones. I sat in my room for years and listened to records because I didn’t have a lot of places to go. Musicians to me were like prophets. I learned more from musicians than I ever did from religious training. So to sit down with Mick Jagger and talk about his career — that might be incredible.
Speaking of religious training, is it right that one of your daughters is a rabbi?
One of my daughters is a rabbi, but she’s in that phase where she’s still learning. I have another daughter who’s getting a doctorate in psychology. She’s been a social worker for years, dealing with the foster-care system. Then I have a daughter who’s a registered nurse and on her way to becoming a nurse practitioner. It blows my mind what my kids do. They’re way better than I am.
