...series takes full advantage of the beauty of the era, sometimes embellishing it. Henry's high-collared leather costumes are meant to evoke a kind of Tudor Mick Jagger in his prime. Anne Boleyn is described by historians as plain looking, but as played by Casanova's Natalie Dormer in gigantic jewels and plunging necklines, she becomes progressively more stunning as the series unfolds and her power over Henry expands. Hirst says he contemporized dialogue but not much else, and he estimates that about 85% of the show is historically accurate. By adding dimension to the standard caricatures of Henry...
...Hurdles remain, however. The taint of old fogeyism, though fading, clings to the company like the scent of grandma's wisteria. Trendy advertisers, for example, still eschew Saga Magazine, despite its impressive circulation.

The film was called Cocksucker Blues, after a song Mick Jagger wrote to anger record company executives with its stark, homoerotic lyrics and the aggressive manner in which he sings them. Although the movie was originally commissioned by the Stones themselves, they blocked its release when they saw the scenes of drug use and graphic groupie sex. After years of legal headaches, the band...
...Live at Fulham Town Hall. Last week Watts plus 33 took off on a nine-day, five-city tour of the Northeastern U.S. and Canada to mark the record's release. So what do Charlie's rock-'n'-roll mates think of his swinging sideline? "Keith [Richard] and Mick [Jagger] love it," he reports. "There's no real difference between rock and jazz. We don't analyze the music; we just play...
