Beschreibung des Verlags
Mick Jagger é a estrela do rock que melhor encarnou o ideal de sexo, drogas e rock’n’roll. Nesta que é a mais completa biografia do líder dos Rolling Stones até à data, Philip Norman refaz os passos da sua consagração e revela como ele se tornou um semideus do rock, escandaloso e milionário. A partir de uma pesquisa minuciosa e de inúmeras entrevistas, Norman reconstitui a infância de Mick: de rapaz dos Home Counties, passando por rebelde sem causa, sensação do rock da década de 1960, Casanova, Anticristo até ídolo global.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Drawing on research he conducted for his first Stones book, as well as on numerous interviews with Jagger's friends, former girlfriends, and musicians, music critic Norman's often plodding and exhaustively detailed though admiring biography recounts Jagger's life from his middle-class youth and first encounters with the blues and early rock to his first meetings with a young Keith Richards.From there, we read of Jagger's many tumultuous relationships with women, his lackluster attempts at acting, and his raging desire to control his and the band's image. Sympathetic to Jagger, Norman digs beneath the bad-boy posturing that Stones manager Andrew Oldham stage-managed and that Jagger embraced very early in his career. Along the way, the author reveals an individual shaped by a conservative upbringing and maturing into a loving and beloved father, a history and literature buff, a wine connoisseur, and a stickler for etiquette. Unfortunately, in the end this is a dull set of fan notes, largely composed of much-rehashed Stones lore, especially since there are no new interviews with Jagger himself.
