...Well. I liked his acting in this--and I didn't like it in The Godfather, said a lady wearing a blue silk scarf...
...motion, now, walking; her motion in life always, these days. Invisible fetters are wrapped around her limbs; her arms and legs; flimsy but horribly restricting. To move at all is a victory. To appear to move 'normally', miraculous. She sees the same gentle restraining threads on everyone; scarf-like chains on every person near her; even threaded to their roving eyes.

He is a butterfly for sexual lepidopterists, strutting and jackknifing across the stage in a cloud of scarf and glitter, pinned by the spotlights. Nonresponsibility is written into his whole relationship with the audience, over which he has less control than any comparable idol in rock history; Elvis Presley, who can still tune the fans up and down like a technician twisting a dial, is the opposite. Jagger's act is to put himself out like bait and flick away just as the jaws are about to close...
