...before, the music tends to be willfully coarse and loud, tough for anyone over 30 to like. As before, the musicians are passionately, defiantly alienated lumpen prole white boys flirting with nihilism. ''I'm a negative creep,'' Nirvana's Kurt Cobain sang. Keith Richards remained cooler than Mick Jagger because he was a junkie; Sid Vicious became the permanently coolest member of the Sex Pistols when he died of a heroin overdose; Cobain has already spent some of his fresh superstardom as a heroin user. The Who and Jimi Hendrix ritually smashed and burned guitars onstage in the '60s; today...
...movie beats down even the most stalwart viewer's resistance, in a Guantánamo of giddiness. The supporting actresses help out. Baranski, slim and large-mouthed, and Walters, wizened and hiding behind shades, might be Mick and Keith in a Rolling Stones girl tribute band, and they lend all their show-biz savvy to vivid renditions of, respectively, Does Your Mother Know and Take a Chance on Me. Seyfried, from the HBO series Big Love, is in full control of Sophie, the film's one sensible character. And Streep comes back to earth in a handsomely calibrated rendition...
...even some pre-meds sensibly consider our department. The list of successful people with economics backgrounds spans many walks of life: Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, Diane von Furstenberg, Warren Buffet, Donald Trump, Kofi Annan, Sandra Day O’Connor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Meg Whitman—even Gene Kelly, Mick Jagger, and Tiger Woods...
Shine a Light begins as its own making-of documentary. In the preconcert planning, Scorsese asks for a playlist of the songs; he gets it just as the show starts. Mick Jagger frets that the moving cameras will distract the audience and that the lighting will throw too much heat on the stage. (As even the director realizes, "We cannot burn Mick Jagger.") During the concert, the singer shouts, as if to Scorsese, "These lights are burnin' up my ass!" He suffers for his art, but there's a film to be shot. Basically, Mick wants to give a great...
...when the Stones released their debut single. And he knows them well enough to see them clearly. The camera reveals that age has been hard on the group's faces--they all look like Dorian Gray's pictures--but kind to their bodies. The guys are pencil-slim, especially Mick. Watching in awe as he capers indefatigably, shaking his sexagenarian booty, you want the secret of the Mick Jagger Fitness Regimen, even if you suspect it's 45 years of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. When Christina Aguilera slinks onstage for a duet of Live with...
