MICK JAGGER
"The most ambitious and comprehensive Jagger biography
to date...extremely wel researched" - Rolling Stone
PHIL NORMAN
"A must read for Stones fans... it's easily the best Rock 'n' Roll
biography of Jagger yet" - Boston Globe
Phillip Norman towers above other biogrhaphers with his definitive studies of rock legends the world throught it knew, but who came to life, as never before through the meticulousness of Norman's research, the sweep of his cultural knowledge and the brilliance of his writting.
Now Norman turns to the most notorious yet enigmatic rock icon of them all. Troughout five decades of fronting the Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger has been seen as the ultimate arrogant superstar, whose sexual appetite rivals Casanova's and whose supposed reckess drug use touched off the most famous scandal in rock history.
But Norman reveals a Jagger for more complex than the cold archeseducer of myhts: human, vulnerable, often impressive, sometimes endearing. Here at last is the real story of how a shy economics student became a modern Antichrist...of a Jagger's vicious show trial and imprisonment in 1967...of his unpublicized heroic role at the horrific Altamont festival...at the beautiful women from Chrissie Shrimpton to Jerry Hall, whom he has bedded but not always dominated...of the endring but everfraught partnership with his "Glimmer Twin", Keith Richards.
While playful about some aspects of Sir Mick, Norman gives him long oerdue credit as a songwriter and as a musician fit to rank among the great blues masters who inspired the Stones before money became their raison d'etre. Mick Jagger above all explores the keen and calculating intelligence that has kept the Stones on their plinth as "the wolrd's greatest rock 'n' roll band" for half a century.
PHILLIP NORMAN is a novelis, biographer, journalist, and playwright. He is the author of the bestselling biography John Lennon: The life and The Beatles Shout!: The Beatles in their generation. Norman has also published biographies of Buddy Holly, the Rolling Stones, and Elton John, as well as six works of fiction and thow plays, The Man That Got Away and Words of Love. He lives in London.
