While Rolling Stones have made music history, Mick Jagger himself is one of the most influential artists in the history of Rock and Roll. This famous, pouty idol of Rock and Roll is not only a musician, but has also dabbled with songwriting and acting. Known for his showmanship, Jagger is today, one of the greatest names in the world of music. He is also a founding member of The Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger carved a niche for himself in the music industry and went on to inspire generations of Rock
the basic idea of its predecessors, the Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock. The idea that the people of the time weren’t about fighting and violence; they were all about loving oneself, loving one another, and most importantly, loving the music. Mick Jagger, the Rolling Stones lead singer, expresses his views on what they believe will be what people will conceive from this festival, he states, “Its creating a sort of a microcosmic society…it sets an example to the rest of America, as to how one can
“Look to these fields and you’ll see then thousand little fires burning through the alfalfa. Fires burning in the hearts and minds coming together. The children of the stars come here to drink from the wisdom that grows here, grows from the gathering of souls.” -Terry Maness What could such a compelling statement be about?

To some, December 6, 1969 may not hold any particular significance. To Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger, however, it’s remembered as the day the sixties suffered a tragic death. Irrational bikers and terrified fans were not a part of Jagger’s vision when him and his bandmates organized a free concert at California’s Altamont Speedway. Despite incessant warnings that a concert of such a large magnitude was not the best idea, the Stones went ahead with it in light of criticism they’d received regarding
Popular Culture of the 1960's Popular culture changed a lot during the end of the fifties and the beginning of the sixties as during the fifties the average weekly wage of an employed adult doubled. This meant that people had more money in there pocket for leisure spending. More people had cars and could take day trips to the coast and the doubled wages meant people could take week or two week holidays during the year. The invention of the television was an overnight success. As the average
Jagger and the rest of the band changed their look and style as the 1970s progressed. By mid-seventies they had become one of the most eclectic groups in Rock and Roll. By this time all their music was original compositions by Jagger and Richards. (Charlton) Jagger also had learned to play guitar and contributed guitar parts for certain songs on Sticky Fingers. Songs released off this album included “Sister Morphine” “Dead Flowers” and “Loving Cup.” For the Rolling Stones' highly publicized 1972
I had been eagerly contemplating this trip to Hollywood for quite some time. Picturing the gritty world famous Roxy on Sunset complete with Hollywood decadence and history had been an ongoing fascination for me ever since New York rock and roll celebrity Bebe Buell had invited me out to the west coast to cover her debut at the room. A sort of East Coast Rocker goes west if you will. The “UN- Shoreworld.” Funny that this would be her first show at The Roxy as she pretty much ruled the Sunset strip
We spend an unnecessary amount of time trying to perfect our physical appearance: we are filled with disgust towards our imperfections and chose to conceal them through unnatural techniques. Why are we ashamed of our flaws—something that is natural? The animosity we feel towards ourselves is caused by the way the media choses to glamorize the “perfect” individual. The “perfect” individual is shown as the true form of beauty; however, it does not accurately portray the true citizen of society. The
Although fame and being in the spotlight may seem like it’s all fun and games, when a celebrity starts doing bad things, those things spread like wild fire. The tabloids create an extended truth about the stories that actually take place. Everything that a star does is captured in either a video or a picture. All the privacy that you once had is now gone. You represent that nation to other countries and how we as Americans are suppose to be acting. All the bad things that our celebrities do, other
The Concert Experience and the Song as Oral Tradition Before the invention of written language that enabled the creation of book technology, the spoken word was the leading edge of communication. Spoken epic poetry such as the Iliad and Odyssey, the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf, and the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh was the content of the speech medium. These epics were created as spoken pieces, and because listeners lacked an alphabet to commodify them (separate them from their performance), the tales had

The Character of Mr. Jaggers in Great Expectations Mr. Jaggers plays a pivotal role in the novel, Great Expectations, written by Charles Dickens. We are first introduced to him in Chapter 11, where Pip encounters the rather condescending lawyer on the stairs of Satis House. Pip describes Mr. Jaggers as "a burly man of an exceedingly dark complexion." We cannot help but notice that he is extremely pontificating, by virtue of him holding Pip's chin and being almost sure that Pip was of "a bad set
