This month the Stones begin a 38-city tour of the States to back Tattoo You, their 27th release in 19 years. No one is laughing at Jagger's prediction...

Exults Mick McHugh, a rabid Seattle Mariners fan whose team was 14% games out of first place: "It's like a guy on death row, and all of a sudden they say, 'We're gonna commute your sentence.' It's a new lease on life." Adds Manager Bill Virdon, whose Astros were mired in third place after winning their division last year: "Every city has a chance to get back into baseball fresh.
