I hear to come up with a witty title taken from a Stones song ( " Do n’t Lie to Me?“ " Just My Imagination?“ ) but I really could n’t , because I was too flabbergasted by the fact thatMick . Jagger . Is . make . A. Sitcom .
And here ’s the really amazing part : It sound like it might actually be amusing . The premise : Donal Logue , the lovable schlub fromThe Tao of Steve , is a resentful janitor who decides to take revenge on a greedy celebrity by robbing him blind , with some help from a ragtag striation of felonious misfits . ( May I helpfully suggest that the stem Song dynasty be"Cops and Robbers?“ ) Jagger patently loved the idea . But I just do n’t palpate like I can trust this news report . It certainly would n’t be the first time a journalist was wrong about Sir Mick :
- It ’s often report that Jagger major in economics . Not genuine . He take care the famed London School of Economics , but he probably did n’t reckon many toll - welfare ratios ; he study account and dropped out after two year .
After the Altamont disputation , in which Hell ’s Angels beat a black lover to death at a Stones concert , tabloid journalist reported that Jagger had encouraged the violence by singing " Sympathy for the Devil" ( " just call me Lucifer , ‘cause I ’m in need of some restraint" ) while it hap . direction not reliable : Concert tapes show him try out to calm the audience down , and besides , the band was playing " Under My Thumb . “ The rumor were so pervasive that the Stones had to stop play " Sympathy for the Devil" live for several years afterwards .
This one ’s my favorite : In 1967 , aNews of the Worldreporter told a shocking narration of hanging out in a London lodge with Jagger , who waxed poetical about taking drug and invited the group back home " for a smoke . “ Drug utilisation among bikers was still enough to shock masses in those days , and the reputation made headlines . The only problem was , the newsman had the wrong Stone . He had spent his scandalous evening with Brian Jones , the stripe ’s then - guitarist .
