What belies the merriness of Misha's smile for the tourists is the pervasive sense that the Americans are not here to compete. Every tourist at a Moscow Olympic event finds himself brought up short when he looks out and fails to see the deep-blue warm-up suits with the red-and-white USA on the back of the jerseys.

...trying to put the best face on things, with the unmistakable note of a man trying to convince himself. The horror resurfaces with "Let Me Go," a track with rockabilly roots, sinister Link Wray guitar licks, and a dose of psychopathology. "I find it hard to cruel with a smile, don't you?" sings Jagger, and you remember that they wanted him to star in A Clockwork Orange. That's what's genuinely scary about The World According to Jagger: when chaos rules, the hero has no choice but, like Camus's Caligula, to join it, and outdo...
