Very good thread. Love the POW in the penultimate pic.
Are rock stars supposed to loook like under-cutters or like this?

Sergei - one of the first rockers and Mick Jagger before Mick Jagger - in fact after the rocker Mick Jagger too...
Charlie Watts the acceptable face of rock. Probably because he digs jazz, rock 'n' roll is the day job.

One of the great apocryphal rock n’roll stories is that Mick Jagger referred to Charlie Watts as “my drummer”. In response, the impeccably polite Charlie Watts allegedly punched Jagger in the face. He then corrected the statement clarifying with the Rolling Stones front-man that Jagger was “my singer”.
My favourite quote from Charlie: "You don't think I take this seriously do you - it's just a fuckin' rock n roll band"
The Rolling Stones have always struck me as terribly middle class, and I don't mean Jagger hanging around with the Guinness heirs. Its the music, it's not The Who or The Kinks is it?

I had heard they were all grammar school boys right...which may account for that perception?

The Stones were certainly the most thoroughly blues-based outfit of the mega-bands in the British Invasion, and a preoccupation with the blues seems have been something of a middle class concern among the young Brits of the era. Still, it's pretty hard to find fault with a five-year run that included Between the Buttons, <Her Satanic Majesty's Request, bummer>, Beggar's Banquet, Let It Bleed, Get Yer Ya-Yas Out, Sticky Fingers, and Exile On Main Street. Of course, The Who had a concurrent run of Tommy, Live At Leeds, Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy, Who's Next, and Quadrophenia. There must have been something in the water back then.
