Book excerpt: There may have been musical rebels like Elvis Presley before him, but once Mick Jagger first burst on the scene in 1962 as lead singer for England's convention- defying Rolling Stones, the mould was broken once and for all. Even fifty years later, his singing and performing style, heard on records and seen in concert halls and arenas and in movie theatres the world over, is still the benchmark against which all rock'n'roll front men are measured. And with good reason: Jagger's distinctive, malleable voice and preening, prancing antics onstage have yet to be duplicated, let alone equalled or surpassed. Together with his childhood and lifelong "Glimmer Twin" pal, guitarist Keith Richards, chief Stones lyricist Jagger has co-written countless indelible rock and roll classics, including Satisfaction, Paint It Black, Sympathy for the Devil, Miss You, and Start Me Up. Meanwhile, his reputation as a globe-hopping Don Juan-esque lover have made him a simultaneously cursed, envied and admired international sex symbol. Remarkably, now seventy years old, Jagger is still going strong on all fronts -- and with all his unique cheekiness and take-no-prisoners attitude gloriously intact. The ultimate "Midnight Rambler" rock'n'roll rebel.
