The Book
Mick: The wild Life and Mad Genius of Jagger
By Christoper Anderson

Mick Jagger is a force of nature, a complete original, one of the dominant cultural figures of our time. Swaggering, strutting, sometimes elusive, always spellbinding, he grabbed us by our collective throat a half-century ago and has never let go. As the Rolling Stones mark their 50th anniversary, journalist and New York Times bestselling author Christopher Andersen tears the mask from rock’s most complex and enigmatic icon in a no-holds-barred biography as impossible to ignore as Jagger himself. Based on interviews with friends, family members, fellow music legends, and industry insiders—as well as wives and legions of lovers—MICK sheds new light on a man whose very name defines an era.
