ANGELA was expecting me when I knocked, for I'd called earlier that day to verify our appointment. I saw instantly that she was beautiful-tall, black, well-built, soft brown eyes and features, and light brown hair in bouffant style. She had none of the sleaziness of the cheap, hard-looking women who could only be prostitutes...
...defendants in the conspiracy trial: "Help Jerry make a wig." Before long, whole bags of hair tumbled in from across the country; at least a dozen bundles arrive daily now. With all of that, Rubin could doubtless fashion a fascinating brindle mop. Instead, he has bought himself a ghastly bouffant woman's wig to wear until his own hair returns to suitably radical length.

Ron Wood, on bass guitar, stakes out his area and the music flares like a newly struck match. Stewart sings "Rock me baby/Keep-on-rocking-me-baby/ Rock me all night long." Then slowly the lead guitar begins to mold the frantic throbbing sound and it becomes clear...
