- Sir Michael Philip Jagger is turning 75 today. Since I am close to 70, myself, I have experienced Jagger and the Rolling Stones from as much of the beginning as any Yank could. How could you not love the Stones; their music was rooted on our own...23 comments 15 Recs
- ' O tempora, o mores! ' Said Marcus Tullius Cicero, senator and Consul of Rome, in about 60 B.C. 'Oh the times, Oh the customs!'. It is a plaint often repeated down the ages, when confronted by ...44 comments 126 Recs
