DESCRIPTION:
Keith Richards had one of the biggest selling books last year with his autobiography,"Life", but many fans of the Stones were left wondering, "What does Mick think?". With no response from Jagger himself, Marc Spitz has taken on the task in "Jagger: Rebel, Rockstar, Rambler, Rogue".

This is Spitz's sixth book, and though he admits that it is slanted in Mick's favor, Spitz brings a new perspective to this subject. Well researched and highly readable, "Jagger" also includes new interviews with Albert Maysles (the director of "Gimme Shelter"), original Rolling Stones member Dick Taylor, and Carly Simon, who admits that "You're So Vain" would not have been a number one hit without Mick Jagger.

In this interview we talk about taking on the the task of speaking for Jagger (who could have written an autobiography in answer to "Life", but he returned his advance money and decided against it), what it's like to get a personal call at home from the elusive Carly Simon, the evolution of Jagger's music and fashion style (including football pants and casual Friday looks), Altamont, and Jagger's work with Rick Rubin. Finally, Spitz answers the question he himself asks in the book, "Who the f**k is Mick Jagger and where does he go from here?".
