Mick Jagger, the frontman of the Rolling Stones, is going to be a great-grandfather. Mick’s grand-daughter Assisi, the 21 year old daughter of Jade Jagger, is due early next year.

You might say “What a Drag It Is Getting Old,” The Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger is 70 years old. Mick Jagger has seven children, that he admits to, and four grandchildren.

Jade Jagger, Mick’s daughter, made the announcement in an interview with The Sunday Times Style magazine. She said “It is true. I am going to be a grandmother.”

Jade says Jagger won’t be gathering moss. She says, “I think making Mick a grandfather obviously had a big impact whereas, now, making him a great-grandfather is no longer particularly fascinating.”

Mick celebrated his 70th birthday party in July with his family and friends at the Loulou private members club in Mayfair, England. The party capped a series of shows commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Rolling Stones that included Charlie Watts, 72, Keith Richards, 69, and Ronnie Wood, 66. Brian Jones, who formed the band, died in July, 1969. Ian Stewart, who played piano for the band since it was formed, but was never an official member, died in 1985. Bill Wyman, the bass player, quit and Mick Taylor, who replaced Brian Jones, quit after It’s Only Rock and Roll in 1974.

Mick Jagger has penned some tough love parenting lyrics for the Rolling Stones. Here are some songs that spare the rod:

5 Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadows, Jagger warns

Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow?
Have you had another baby, standing in the shadow?
You take your choice at this time
The brave old world or the slide to the depths of decline

4, In “Play With Fire,” Mick lets the daughter know that her mom is slumming:

Your mother she's an heiress
Owns a block in Saint John's Wood
And your father'd be there with her
If he only could
But don't play with me
'Cause you're playing with fire
Your old man took her diamonds
And tiaras by the score
Now she gets her kicks in Stepney
Not in Knightsbridge anymore

3, In “Family” an outtake from “Beggar’s Banquet,” Mick sings:

There's ma, she's living dangerously
It's a cinch she'll try it anything twice
She thinks she can run right to the whirlpool's edge
And stop herself just in time
What exactly's gonna happen
When she finally fizzles out
The lovers will just be sucked into
To see what the colours of death are all about
 

2. Mick finds a 15-year old runaway in Stray Cat Blues, but doesn’t send her home:

Bet your mama don't know you scream like that
I bet your mother don't know you can spit like that.

You look so weird and you're so far from home
But you don't really miss your mother
Don't look so scared I'm no mad-brained bear
But it's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime

1, And Mick’s ultimate advice your young mothers is to watch out for those Mother’s Little Helpers:

"Things are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day.

"Things are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she buys a frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper
And to help her on her way, get her through her busy day.

Doctor, please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old.

"Men just aren't the same today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy. You can tranquilise your mind
So go running for the shelter of your mother's little helper
And four help you through the night, help to minimise your plight.

Doctor, please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old.

Life's just much too hard today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way through your busy dying day.
