conversations.value: An assistant professor of history at Georgia State University, the author has created what amounts to an extended compare-and-contrast essay by juxtaposing the careers of the two greatest rock &amp;'n&amp;' roll bands of the 20th century. He hopes to uncover whether these two bands were rivals or allies, and whether the Beatles were truly the good boys and the Stones were really the bad boys as each was respectively portrayed. the author builds a case for both sides of each argument, using existing interviews, an impressive bibliography, and some little-known sources. While the history of both bands is oft-covered territory, the author turns up some great nuggets, like the true origins of the Beatles&amp;' name; police information about one of the Stones&amp;' famous drug busts; and how Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote their first song together. In the end, the author has written an informative look at music&amp;'s image machinea powerful combination of media, marketing, and celebrity. (Oct.)

  Way back in 1975, Jagger said: As quoted in Jim Jerome, "The Jaggers," People (June 9, 1975). This sentiment—that Mick did not plan to be singing raunchy Stones songs as a middle-aged man—has been frequently attributed to Jagger. In 1978, a Rolling Stone interviewer said to Mick, "You once said you didn't want to be singing 'Satisfaction' when you were forty-two," and Mick answered, "No, I certainly won't." According to a quote investigator website, Mick "may have made similar statements on more than one occasion, and he may have specified different cut-off ages."
  On average, the Stones charged: Some prime tickets sold for around $2,000, and some were as cheap as $85.
