Geocache Description:

Forthyninth in the Famous People (FP) Series - Mick Jagger
Sir Michael Philip "Mick" Jagger, KBE (born July 26, 1943) is an English rock musician, actor, songwriter, record and film producer, and businessman. He is best known as the lead singer of the rock 'n' roll band The Rolling Stones.

Jagger has come under fire throughout most his career but the majority has come from music industry insiders and fans, as opposed to opponents of rock and roll.

Most of the criticism is related to the Stones' Altamont Free Concert at Altamont Speedway in California. In an effort to keep the critics from disrupting the free concert, the Rolling Stones hired the Hells Angels as concert security. However, the plan backfired as the Angels injured several fans, killing one – Meredith Hunter, an eighteen-year-old black man. It was also rumoured that the Angels supplied drugs at the concert. The Rolling Stones have completely denied ever hiring the Angels.

It was rumoured that the Stones, and Jagger in particular, not only did not try to stop the violence, but encouraged it, by singing "Sympathy for the Devil" while Hunter died. Other rumours circulated that Jagger, despite his blues-based band and songs such as "Brown Sugar", was racist and did not want a black fan at his concert. Neither rumour was true; concert tapes clearly show Jagger trying to calm the audience and end the violence, and Jagger has been a vocal anti-racist. Additionally, the Stones were actually playing "Under My Thumb" during Hunter's murder, but due to media pressure, they dropped "Sympathy for the Devil" from most of their 1970s US live set lists.

In May 1971, Jagger married de Macias, later known as Bianca Jagger. Bianca, born in Managua, Nicaragua, in 1945, was a social and political activist who had studied political science and French Literature, and was virtually unknown before her marriage to Jagger. Later that same year, Bianca gave birth to her first child and Jagger's second. Jade Jagger, born on October 21, 1971, lived with her parents in London. With Bianca, Jagger entered the world of high international celebrity, as evidenced by the jet set hangers-on to their 1972 American Tour and afterwards. Mick and Bianca separated in 1979 and divorced in 1980.

At age 60, despite having spent most of his life an icon of rock rebelliousness, Mick Jagger was knighted on December 12, 2003, for his "services to popular music".
