Mick Jagger: Reggae
Jagger duetted with Peter Tosh in the Seventies, and he and The Rolling Stones covered the reggae classic “Cherry Oh Baby” in 1976. But his love of reggae dates to the Sixties, when he danced in clubs to Jamaican music. Jagger and Charlie Watts were the first Stones to become entranced: “We were interested from a rhythmic point of view, so we started to play reggae beats with the band, and the rest of them picked it up,” Jagger says. He adds, with a devious chuckle, “I’m sure Keith would say something different.”

Has any movie star in the history of movie stars ever been more perfect than George Clooney? Look at him now, sitting in his house high up in the Hollywood Hills, off -white khakis, matching socks, spotless tan desert boots, natty blue polo shirt, dreamy, chocolaty-brown eyes, broad shoulders, a straight line of white (but not too white) teeth, hair graying distinguishedly, legs crossed confidently, the easy-going smile and aura of calm assurance. He is talking about something or other – maybe the failure of politicians these days.
