Could you handle being Mick Jagger's brother?

Or the brother of someone uber famous?
I imagine Chris Jagger has benefited plenty from being Mick's brother. But at the same time, Chris did have musical ambitions--he actually had a song out here in the States in the 60's, plus he's recorded 9 or 10 albums--but, well, … how many Chris Jagger LPs are in your collection?
My point is, if you want a career in music you'll always be in the "shadow of." Could you handle this? Maybe view it as a trade off for the benefits of being close to the spotlight?
I don't think I could take it. Putting jealousy aside, I'd just be bummed that my music will never get traction because of the comparison with my brother.
Hey, there's a song title: "(I Can't Get No) Music Traction."

I would just change my name and create a new identity if I wanted to get out of my bro's shadow.

I always feel bad for Jimmy Vaughn. You give your brother a couple of guitar lessons and the next thing you know...

If it means I get some of Jagger's leftovers when it comes to groupie action then I'm sure I could handle it just fine.
Then again, I would probably need immense therapy, plus penicillin, for a multitude of reasons.

I dunno. Plowing my brother's fields could be … and then there's the inevitable comparisons. I mean, even if Mick sucks in bed he's got a big advantage because of the star power. You'd have to have pretty thick skin to be rated No. 2 in bed on top of everything else.

no b. cthat would mean that I was like 80.
My step brother is working his way to be famous, but I will never feel like I am in his shadow. I just want him to succeed.

Would I want to be in the immediate family of one of the richest most successful front men of one of the greatest bands?
No. That sounds terrible?
Stupid fricking thread.
I'd wear a mask ala buckethead and call myself something funny.
I'd also of on tour with him all the time just to meet his opening acts. Eventually someone will need a fill in guitarist.

First thing that came to my mind.
He's a solid musician and performer, he's just noooooo where close to what his bro was.

Same for Mark Knoppfler's Brother and he was in Dire Straits in the beginning.

Poor Warren G...never had a chance.

Chris Cornell's brother Peter Cornell is another living in his younger brother's shadow. It would be worse if you were actually talented like Jimmy Vaughn though.
