Subject: RE: BS: Happy 70th, Mick Jagger!!
My meaning was that all generations probably tend to be a bit arrogant, at all stages of their life.

We think we got it right in ways our predecessors and successors did not.

Occasionally perhaps we are correct in thinking that. That's how I tend to feel about the sixties, but then I would.

As for Jagger, he made some good songs, and it's fun to see a contemporary with all that energy. But he always was a dillitante when it came to serious stuff, and he never actually made any pretence to the contrary. Basically a Tory through and through.
