...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. Although the monthly runs features on still-cool celebs like Carly Simon and Mick Jagger, it's crammed with ads for retirement properties and orthopedically therapeutic furniture. In order to combat that perception, Saga is planning a brand overhaul designed by ad agency Doner Cardwell Hawkins. "It will stress our core strengths to a new generation," says Bull, but beyond that, no one at Saga will talk...

Does its director consider it as an honest document that in all its messy debauchery, anger, humor and impunity represents the true spirit of rock n' roll of the era? Who knows. Rock n' roll may never die, and certainly not before it gets old, but the 82-year-old Frank - who was present at the Pompidou Center to open his retrospective the previous night...
...Orchestra: 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.
