Certainly that seems more plausible than that she gives the world’s best BJs or whatever. I believe it was her Mick Jagger was referring to when he said, “It’s like talking to an open window.” And he was still with her at the time. ---

Very odd pairing, not because Jerry Hall looks good, she ugly in my view but still far younger than Murdoch. If they are truly in love, than good for them and I wish them both the best. But I hope it’s not because of money, seriously Hall should have money by now, not to mention it’s just pathetic always marrying for money. ---

> [@Sage\_Rat](#): > > Perhaps she’s highly intelligent and has a strong personality that successful people appreciate? Certainly that seems more plausible than that she gives the world’s best BJs or whatever. I don’t think I’ve seen her since she was on Letterman in the early 90s, but “highly intelligent” is not how she came across back then. ---

Jerry Hall graduated from a high school near mine, and we saw a lot of publicity about her, particularly when she started dating Mick Jagger. She seemed very genuinely nice in interviews, but also dumb as a post. As for the speedy engagement, Jesus - the guy can’t have that much life left in him, I’d move fast too. ---

I guess Murdoch is past his “[Asian fetish](http://gawker.com/vanity-fair-rupert-murdoch-suffered-elder-abuse-from-w-1517523775)” phase and going for a dose of good ol’ Texas blondes. Good on ya mate. No more Sheila’s for you. ---

Other than minor acting roles, I don’t believe I have heard her talking, so assumed she had something going for her by lasting with Jagger so long. Per you and others, apparently I am quite wrong.

[Here she is in 2013 in a Melbourne radio interview.](https://youtu.be/Na7uVH2giL4) She sounds less airy than I remember from her Letterman interviews and, damn, she looks good for a woman her age. ---
