...concert proceeded, Jagger wearing outrageousness on his sleeve, a symbol that we could all react to. Through "Stray Cat Blues." much slower than the record, Watts occasionally losing the beat, the lyres changed from fifteen to thirteen year-old girl (outrage, like any fashion, ages quickly). They do some slow numbers, a "Prodigal Son." Richard's steel guitar funkier and less evocative than the Rev. Robert Wilkins, and "Love in Vain," a Robert Johnson song, which Jagger, sketching out the Stones' new image, and rushed to keep ahead of mere satyriasis and the universal dope-taker, dedicates to "the minority...
...costumes; even these technicalities will vary from night to night as new ideas are formed. Now if you have a silver samovar on stage, the object is so clearly defined that it tends to dominate the actor, and he can only respond to it in a muted, basically cinematic fashion. However, an object chosen to have no meaning in its own sense can mirror the actors reactions toward...
Some of the figures who peopled that world-of Paris in the Twenties, New York later in the Thirties, and World War II-have survived. and in grand fashion.

Instead, he has bought himself a ghastly bouffant woman's wig to wear until his own hair returns to suitably radical length. Surely, going to the barricades in drag is going to give revolution a bad name...
...Chronicle appears through what Russians call samizdat, which means self-publishing; it is a play on the Soviet term Gosizdat, the state publishing house. Behind closed doors, readers type copies of the newsletter, which they pass on to friends in chain-letter fashion. Fresh news items for the paper are sent back to the anonymous editors by the same chain of communication. Though anyone who copies or circulates the Chronicle faces severe penalties, ten issues of the Chronicle have appeared since it was launched in 1968. The front page of a recent issue carries a quotation from the U.N. Bill...
