George Thorogood Mocks Mick Jagger After Blazing Houston Show – Is This the Beginning of a Bitter Rocker Rivalry?

Sage Matthews here, your favorite cynic with a caffeine addiction and a subscription to every celebrity gossip alert known to man. If you thought rock ‘n’ roll egos had mellowed with age, guess again. Because George Thorogood — yes, *that* George Thorogood, the gravel-voiced blues legend with a catalog full of songs about being bad to the bone — just threw shade at Mick freakin’ Jagger. And not in a subtle way. No, he shouted it into the Houston night like he was closing out a particularly aggressive therapy session.

Let’s set the scene: George, 75, fresh off a gig at the House of Blues in Houston, had just exited the venue when he suddenly turned around, locked eyes with a fan, and dropped the immortal line: “You tell Mick Jagger he can suck on that.” He then gestured toward the venue, got a few cheers, and one enthusiastic “U-S-A!” chant for good measure. Then, presumably, he went back to his tour bus to sip bourbon and ignore the chaos he’d just unleashed.

Now, before you start Googling “Thorogood vs. Jagger feud,” let’s be clear: there’s no known history of animosity between the two rock titans. At least, none that’s been documented. So either George was riding an adrenaline high and decided to flex on the Rolling Stones frontman, or he’s just tired of being the “other” blues-rock guy in the public consciousness. Either way, it’s the kind of moment that makes you wonder if the blues isn’t just a musical genre, but a lifestyle.

Mick Jagger, for his part, is 82 and still strutting across stages like he’s 28 and fueled by pure spite. He hasn’t responded yet — though his reps were contacted by TMZ, and so far, it’s been radio silence. Which makes sense. Why dignify a random post-show jab from a guy who’s built his career on growling about being “bad to the bone”?

But let’s not pretend this isn’t peak content. Because if Jagger *does* fire back — and let’s be honest, the man has never backed down from a mic drop — we could be looking at the most geriatric, most dramatic showdown in rock history. Picture it: two septuagenarian icons trading diss tracks and stage spins, both trying to prove they’re still the king of the blues-rock hill. It’s like the AARP version of a rap battle, and honestly, we’re here for it.

In the meantime, fans are left to speculate. Was it a joke? A genuine slight? Or just a case of an aging rock star flexing for the crowd? Either way, it’s a reminder that no matter how old you get, the music industry never really grows up. It just gets louder — and occasionally, more confused.

So, yes. George Thorogood just roasted Mick Jagger in the most George Thorogood way possible. And while it might not escalate into an all-out war, it’s definitely the kind of bizarre, semi-awkward moment that makes you wonder what kind of backstage drama we’re missing. Because let’s face it — rock ‘n’ roll may be dying, but its petty rivalries? Those are immortal.

Anyway, can’t wait to see how this gets worse.
