We can't let the week pass without noting the 80th (!) birthday of the Rolling Stones' (Sir) Mick Jagger on July 26. Although not our favorite Stone (RIP Charlie, ta Keef!), Jagger is unquestionably one of the key artists of the rock era of the past 50+ years. Beyond that, he's in pretty remarkable physical shape, performing live weeks after having aortic valve replacement in 2019 and in 2022 continuing a tour after recovering from COVID. Not your typical geriatric!
Here's the first Jagger/ Richards composition to go to #1 in the UK (#9 in the US), 1965's "The Last Time," performed live in Ireland.
