Legendary moments in a legendary life, as curated by The Guardian: “Symphony for the devil: Mick Jagger’s 80 greatest moments, on his 80th birthday”
Just one of them below: The Rolling Stones appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show during their first US tour in 1964.
In the mortal world it may be that Mick Jagger celebrates his 80th birthday today, but such a contrived time reckoning belongs to the mundanity of earthly matters. In our imagination – and perhaps in his reality – Jagger resides on a plane more akin to the godly – a life lived with all the excesses and ecstasies of a Dionysus cult.
And, by the way, along the way, we have been gifted some great music and some great moments to call our own. Happy Birthday, Mick, and keep on rolling!
