First, let me say I am still a KINGSTON TRIO MANIAC....
Then Secondly ~ a BEATLEMANIAC....
Thirdly, I'm a ROLLING STONES MANIAC....
Fourthly - I'm just a plain MANIAC, but not dangerous. So No Worries!

OK - so here we are: THE ROLLING STONES

MICK JAGGER is the quintessential Poster Child for the "Sex Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll" lifestyle.
And no, Mick did NOT form THE ROLLING STONES...it was BRIAN JONES (1942-1969) who actually put these five guys together.
BUT it was MICK JAGGER who became the major "Star Performer", and who also wrote songs together with fellow "STONER" - Keith Richards.

[almost in the same category as Lennon-McCartney]

Without MICK JAGGER ~ I'm not sure how THE ROLLING STONES would have evolved in becoming the second most popular "Rock Band" ----
right after THE BEATLES.

As the charismatic frontman of THE ROLLING STONES, Mick popularized a rebellious archetype that defined Modern Rock Culture.

As of this writing, MICK JAGGER recently celebrated turning 82, and to me he looks excactly the same as he did waaay back in the 1960's ----
except now he's got WHITE HAIR. (remember Andy Griffith in the TV series "MATLOCK" ?)

(sorry, unable to post the picture of Mick blowing out the candles on his birthday cake)
