Mick Jagger and Keith Richards say they enjoy a love/hate relationship with each. "Sometimes I despise the man, others, I love that man so much. It's like your brother. I never had one, so he's my brother. That's the way it is, bless his heart," explains the guitarist, however the singer refuses any comparisons to a married couple.
