...these qualities - which make Unruh look like any other politician running for any other office - are overbalanced by an important undercurrent in his intellectual life. It is an undercurrent which makes Unruh more than the sum total of his past and his appearance.

Mick Jagger and his pals never had quite that effect on Anglo-American affairs, but everybody soon knew what that politician was talking about. From the first, the Stones refused to play the performing game: they were scruffy, wore outrageous clothes, flashed no toothy smiles. Brazenly, they thumbed their noses at the adult world-and still rode the crest of a fantastic success. Ever since, the Stones' career has seemed a demonstration...
