...final product of both bands is undoubtedly raw rock music. Strip away overproduced backup and the extra three minutes in synthesized pop interludes, and honest songs which speak with the frankness of a genuine friend remain. And though the Stones epitomize the brash attitudes of these bands, Mick Jagger??s irreverence and self-important strut remind me of an often forgotten mantra at Harvard: take yourself less seriously. Alas, it is a mantra that I also often forget...
...Mick Jagger??s voice is still potent after all these years, and he still can strut his way all over the stage. Richards can play guitar with the best of them, despite looking closer to rigor mortis than a rock star for some time now. The local gossip surrounding the band centered around their subdued, healthy pre-show habits instead of raging booze fests.

Jagger??s still looking...
