On a news column and an original joke/poem
Mick Jagger is one of the more interesting pop singers to me. He took part in the counter-culture but did not die young. From a light-hearted column recently in The Wall Street Journal:
“Before portable storage devices arrived on the scene, the Stones released ‘Under My Thumb,’ which could just as easily have been called ‘Under My Thumb Drive.’ And all the way back in 1965, the Stones, with Nostradamus-like prescience, released ‘Get Off of My Cloud’ warning investors that once Microsoft entered cloud computing in a big way, smaller rivals would be wiped off the face of the earth.”
Queenan’s article appears deliberately silly, but I think Jagger deserves respect for being both a rocker and a good business man. “Waiting on a Friend” is one of my favorite pop songs and seems to have good morals.
