Flop-houses and failed rock stardom somehow seem to have filed many of our romantic self-images five years ago. Just revisit Performance to bring it all back. If you've ever sensed that Mick Jagger should have thrown n the towel years ago, this film will show you why. The jig has long been up on Jagger's androgonous lewdness.

On the yacht Sequoia, he instructed stewards to serve him this $30 wine, wrapped in a towel to obscure the label, while his guests got a $6 vintage. Ron Ziegler, Nixon's beleaguered press aide, had special drinking habits too: he would not take his White House cocktails unless the glass bore the presidential emblem. He even wanted his coffee served in a cream-colored Lenox china cup and saucer bearing the presidential...
