It doesn't seem so long ago.
I found this old Life magazine in a box in the attic.

2008 minus 1981 = 27. That's brilliant. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks for the scans schillid. Now that's brilliant!

Thank you, gracious sir, for double-checking the math.
Oh... you're welcome.

Nudge nudge wink wink only a bit of laugh. Great photos.

Then again, somehow it feels like only 25 or 26 years have passed since then.

thanks schillid! which issue of Life is this - i mean what exact date is on it, please and thank you?

Hi sssoul
November 1981
The cover is of a picture of a human fetus.
"A Special Poll: How Women Feel About Abortion"
But Mick Jagger smiles straight at us above the fetus...
"Behind The Scenes: MICK JAGGER COMES BACK" the inset proclaims!

Thanks a lot!!!!!!

I added the masthead shot to the first post.

Seems hilarious now that they were deemed 'old' back then!

"I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon."

>> November 1981 <<

thank you thank you schillid! now, i am making myself very small and cute,
because i am not meaning to be overdemanding, but ...
some words are missing from the right sides of the first and last pages of text.
most of them we can probably guess at, but if it were by any chance easy for you to fill them in,
that would be way way cool, historically accurate, concrete and all kinds of other great things.
and i'd be ever so grateful :E

tomorrow

Great pics, thanks!

Play Rolling Stones

This is the first pic I've seen of Mick running (offstage.)
It is well known that Mick runs as part of his fitness regimen, but I'm rather amazed at how few pictures exist.
Thanks Schillid!

There's one in some book (According To The RS or A Life On The Road I think) where you see him running in yellow tights. Must be from 1989.

Author's Introduction

I'm a Stones fan. That's the first thing you need to know before reading this book.
Second, you need to know that I'm a trained philosopher. Two PhD's. Seems I spent half my life in college, and then the university. I taught Philosophy for many years — first as an Assistant at Yale University, finally as a tenured Associate Professor at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. That was years ago, of course. But I still have a philosopher's brain, and am always trying to "figure out what's really going on," under the surface of things. That's basically what philosophers do.
Finally, you should know that I'm a businessman. Some people call me an "entrepreneur," although all that seems to mean, when you come down to it, is that I don't work for anybody else, but for myself instead. Big deal. My most recent business undertaking has involved Long View Farm, a residential and somewhat glamorous rock 'n' roll recording studio in the hills of Central Massachusetts. I own it.
Here's how all this concerns you. Last summer — the summer of 1981 — the Rolling Stones came to Long View Farm in order to prepare for and rehearse their long-awaited and possibly last concert tour of the United States. That event found me — Gil Markle — the right guy, in the right place, at the right time. I don't have to explain to you that the odds against finding a philosophically trained Stones fan posing as a rock impresario — one who just happened to be called upon to host the Rolling Stones for a two-month period — are very high indeed. On the basis of odds alone, it's much more tempting to believe that these things never happened to me at all. But they did, and I took notes as I went, and when my friends finally said to me, "Gil, why don't you write a book?" I had my answer fully prepared. I would.
This is the book that resulted: a collection of fifty or so essays on the general subject of people and power, and the ways in which lives turn topsy-turvy whenever they are drawn into the long shadow of a living myth. That's what the Rolling Stones are — an active, living myth.
etc..........
