& Mick Jagger at a music shop, Venice, 1971. Mick Jagger photographed wearing a wool suit, late 1960s. Rolling Stones concerts became the breeding ground for hysteria and hope among kids who were “looking for some different moral value,” Jagger said in the sixties. And even as his fame grew, Jagger was never scared to poke his head into ordinary, and often ugly, existence.

When he danced, he swept and spilled into the space around him.Ībove and top: Mick Jagger dressed in a wool suit in London, 1964. He didn’t so much sing his lyrics as launch them into the crowd.
