...Satan could sing, he'd probably sound a lot like Mick Jagger. Jagger can be at once insolent, charming and slightly lewd. His is the voice of silky excess, the serenade of a jaded demon. On Love Is Strong, the first cut from the Rolling Stones' fine new album, Voodoo Lounge, Jagger is at his seductive, sneering best. The song, with its coiling harmonica and swaggering rhythm, sounds like a surefire smash, the kind of hit that will be blaring from radios all summer...
...first two hours of The Stand, which Mick Garris directed from a screenplay by King, are as gripping as anything in recent TV memory. But after the cities have been cleaned out, the mini-series mutates into a more tepid apocalyptic soap opera. The narrative coalesces around a few disparate survivors (who have an unexplained immunity to the flu), among them an easygoing Texan (Gary Sinise), a pregnant young woman from Maine (Molly Ringwald), a rock singer (Adam Storke) and an angelic deaf-mute (Rob Lowe). The few people left are mystically drawn into two camps...

And their lyrical and emotional raw materials are equally commonplace; lead guy and stripedshirt collector Mick Murphy sings about wanting to escape his friends for a while ("Mr. Spaceman"); about not understanding why his girlfriend left him ("Gas," "Tremendous many"); about crushes ("Water for a Man on Fire") and so on.

...Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the songwriters, and ABKCO, the owner of the rights to the song, were made an irresistible offer in 1991: $4 million, with $2.8 million going to the composers...
...Joffrey will take on a 20-city tour over the next seven months, is hardly the first time ballet has reached out to pop. Balanchine used Gershwin, Paul Taylor the Andrews Sisters, Alvin Ailey Count Basie and others. And of course the great rock performers like Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger have set the standard of movement in that particular pop art. Still, the Joffrey evening radiates grace because it embraces a challenging world with very little in the way of snobbery or preconception...
