The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do.

Richards uses deadpan exaggeration to summarize the famously fraught but enduring partnership between himself and Mick Jagger in the Rolling Stones. By claiming they disagree about “the band, the music and what we do,” he implies that their conflicts touch the core of their shared enterprise—creative direction, identity, and day-to-day decisions—yet the joke also signals resilience: despite fundamental disagreements, the collaboration persists. The line captures a key dynamic of long-running artistic teams, where tension can be both corrosive and generative, producing friction that shapes the work while also requiring enough mutual dependence to keep the project alive.
