Бывает.Он довольно разноплановый.Роллинговского там не много.
Есть ещё очень хороший (для меня) сольник роллинговский:Mick Taylor (1979).АМГ ему тоже 4,5 звёзд дало.

>А вот Джаггер - не покатил (((

Тут, с одной стороны, дело вкуса, а с другой -- чего ожидаешь услышать.
Нисколько не умаляя достоинств "Talk Is Cheap" (и он мне очень нравится), это -- по сути очередной роллинговский альбом, в котором просто вместо Миши поёт Кеша.
Если послушать сольники Джаггера, не ожидая заведомо услышать роллингов, то они по-своему не менее интересны; в чём-то (для меня, по крайней мере) -- именно тем, что они совершенно не роллинговские. То есть кроме голоса Джаггера роллинговского там довольно мало.
К примеру, "Primitive Cool" -- один из моих любимых альбомов, несмотря на то, что роллингами там почти не пахнет.

Ещё пример: мне очень понравилось, как Джаггер сыграл в фильме "Побег с Елисейских Полей". Понравилась именно его игра как артиста -- а не потому, что это "ах, сам сэр Мик!". И в целом фильм понравился (безотносительно того, сыграл бы в нём Джаггер или нет. Но мне доводилось слышать, что люди и от этого фильма, и от "Беглеца" разочаровывались, потому что ждали, а когда же он наконец споёт...
По-моему, как раз, наоборот, очень хорошо, что можно увидеть человека в другом ракурсе -- и в кино, и в сольниках...

Rolling with Stone Ron
By Lucy Cavendish, Evening Standard
16 May 2006

Jo Wood looks just as I expect a rock chick should. She has on tight, black skinny jeans and a floaty, black cheesecloth top that reveals a lot of tanned cleavage.

Her eyes are rimmed with kohl, her hair mussed-up in a sleepy, just-got-out-of-bed-after-sex fashion. She looks fantastic for a woman of 51.

"It's in the genes," she says in her Twiggy-meets-Barbara-Windsor Essex twang. "My mother's 72 and people keep telling her she looks 50." She laughs, sounding like a mynah bird with a smoker's cough.

I imagine people will be saying "you look 50" to Jo Wood when she's in her seventies because, boy, this woman has staying power.

Ever since she met her Rolling Stone guitarist husband Ronnie Wood - she refers to him as "His Majesty" - she has barely been apart from him.

She goes on tour with the Stones to every destination and has done since her first tour in 1978 when she was pregnant with their first child Leah (both Jo and Ronnie had a child each from previous relationships - she had Jamie, now 31, and he had Jesse, now 29 - and also have a younger son, Tyrone, together).

She has currently come off tour because of the Keith Richards accident - apparently he fell out of a coconut tree on Fiji while on holiday after finishing their tour of Australia and New Zealand. How is Keith?

"He's fine," she says. "Most of these stories about him are mad. Every time I pick up a newspaper, I read something about him that just isn't true like he's got brain damage and stuff.

"Yes, he had an accident but Keith's as strong as an ox, really he is. He'll bounce back, Keith always does. He's fine and the tour will continue - it just might have to restart a bit behind schedule, that's all."

This has given her a bit more time to concentrate on launching her new organic range of bath and body-care products called Jo Wood Organics.

She has developed a range of oils and lotions in two fragrances, Amka and Usiku (Swahili for awake and night). "My husband told me I'd never get this off the ground," she says. "I thought, 'Oh yes, I will', and I have."

But why did Ronnie think she wouldn't be able to do it? "I don't know," she says. "I suppose it's because I've never been in business before."

It has to be said that Jo Wood is on a mission. She wants to make England organic. "It all started when I got misdiagnosed with Crohn's disease nearly 20 years ago," she says.

"I started eating organic food a couple of years later to combat the effects of the steroids I was taking. I felt so much better and then it turned out I had a perforated appendix.

"Now on tour, I cook organic food for everyone and Keith's always taking the mickey out of me.

"Since Charlie's had his cancer scare, he's very organic.

"Mick's the most disciplined man I know. He works out and eats well and has all this energy.

"I make Ronnie eat organic baked beans because His Majesty loves baked beans.

"Keith's wife (Patti Hansen) cooks organic food for him but he couldn't care less what he's eating. That's Keith for you."

Does His Majesty eat organic food apart from the baked beans? "Oh, he wouldn't eat if I didn't cook for him," says Jo. "As it is, he pushes the food round the plate and only eats half of it. I can but try."

Poor Jo Wood, she's had so much to put up with. Ronnie Wood is a renowned alcoholic and, to give his wife her credit, she does not hide this.

"I know, I know," she says. "It's always been all over the newspapers because His Majesty has tried to dry out so many times."

Have the clinics worked? "No," she says. "He is still drinking but at least not as much as he used to. When we were younger, it didn't seem so much of a problem.

"We were on tour a lot and it was like we went from one all-night party to another. People would have to wake us up to tell us to go on stage.

"But we're older now. I don't drink much any more and I've stopped smoking. But Ronnie knows he has a problem. He feels really bad about it.

"When he goes on one of his vodka benders, I just take a back seat," she says. "He always knows when they are coming on. I used to get very involved.

"Then I thought by not drinking it would help him stop but that hasn't happened. It is very difficult. I think he'd rather I didn't go on at him about it.

"I used to get at him but now he is happier that I don't. That doesn't make him drink less but I can't spend my life feeling responsible.

"He feels very bad about it. The children have witnessed it. His behaviour changes and he becomes irrational and that's hard for everyone."

How does she deal with it? "I used to get very upset," she says. "But I've been to counselling and I now understand that there is nothing I can do about it.

"It's Ronnie's problem and he has to deal with it. Of course it's hard. It's awful when he's drinking. But I can't force him to stop."

Jo is obviously a wonderful mother. She talks about her children all the time. "Two of them are in the other room!" she says.

Her eldest son, Jamie, runs Ronnie and Jo's various businesses, and their youngest, Tyrone, 22, runs Ronnie's art. "Ronnie's sold paintings all over the world," says Jo proudly.

Jesse and his wife, Tilly, and their two young children live in Somerset. "Jesse's a great musician," says Jo.

Leah is about to do an art degree, having cut an album herself. "Leah moved out about six months before we were going on tour," says Jo.

"The removal van came down the drive and I saw Leah pack her stuff in it and ..." At this point I can see Jo is about to cry. "It's the empty-nest syndrome you see," she says blinking rapidly.

"Anyway, it all turned out all right because she and her boyfriend didn't like where they were living so they've moved back in while we're on tour."

Why has she always felt the need to travel with her husband? Is it because she doesn't trust him? "I do now," she says. "We've been married a long time and I know he's not going to throw it all away over a groupie.

"In the old days there were hundreds of them. They were so persistent. They'd stand right in front of the stage and take their tops off.

"Later, some bloke would bring them backstage and they'd be eyeing Ronnie and I'd think, 'Oh no', but I'd say, 'Ooh, I saw your titties out there. Hi, I'm Jo', and it would all be cool."

Are there groupies now? "Not as many," she says laughing.

But now she is employed to go on tour as Ronnie's personal assistant.

"I take it very seriously. I have this stove I take everywhere and I cook on it. I take it to hotel rooms and I've set off a few fire alarms but it means Ronnie can have tea and beans and hot buttered toast wherever we are.

"I also dress him. I like him in black jeans. He looks really sexy in them."

The job came at a crucial time. In the Eighties, when the Stones were not touring, the Woods had to sell their home in Los Angeles and were reportedly having some financial difficulties (although this year's Sunday Times Rich List suggests the Woods are now worth £70 million).

"Mick and Keith write the songs, so Ronnie gets paid only for touring and they weren't touring then. In fact, I never thought they'd tour again as Mick and Keith hated each other then. But Ronnie acted as a go-between. I don't suppose we ever thought they'd go on so long," says Jo.

So how have they made their marriage work?

"There's only room for one star in a marriage and that's Ronnie," she says. "When I met him I was a model but I also had a young kid and I was happy to stop my career.

"Ronnie never asked me to. It's just the way it works. On top of all that we get on well. We have a laugh together and we have lots of sex."

And then there are the high-profile friends such as Marianne Faithfull and Kate Moss. God, it sounds exhausting. "Well I went out the other night with Leah and her friends and we went dancing and I got home at 3am and the next day I felt terrible!"

So no more wild parties for her, then. If Ronnie wants to party, it's got to be a party of one. Is Jo Wood finding her own way?

"It's not like that," she says. "I've always liked being active and doing things. When we were in New York recently on the tour I thought: 'What will I do?' So I took my products and met up with the people from the big department stores."

It turns out that before she decided to launch her body range, she was going to do face products instead. "I'd got it all sorted out but then Jamie came and told me he'd done all this research and it showed that women were more likely to change their body lotion than their moisturiser, so ... I changed tack really.

"Jamie's so organised like that. He runs my life. Maybe that's weird. Maybe my whole life is weird."

Maybe fun is a better word, I suggest. "Oh fun. It's definitely fun," she says laughing but, momentarily, she looks tired. "And hard work," she adds. "It's all been hard work."

The Stones: A History in Cartoons
Bill Wyman, Richard Havers

Hardcover 160 pages (April 20, 2006)

Synopsis
"The Stones: A History in Cartoons" combines previously unpublished entries from Bill Wyman's personal diaries with cartoons by some of the greatest satirical artists of the last 40 years. Over more than four decades, The Rolling Stones have been the inspiration for hundreds of cartoons and Bill Wyman has collected them, meticulously recording when and where they appeared. Arranged chronologically, this book combines 150 individual cartoons with the entry from Bill's diary written on the day the drawing was published. Covering everything from the infamous drugs bust to Wyman's leaving the band, and from screaming fans to the day a Bristol hotel refused to serve the Stones lunch because they weren't smart enough, this is a unique and personal look at one of the greatest bands of the twentieth century.

David Gilmour Urges Rolling Stones to Quit

http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2006/05/30/dave_gilmour_urges_rolling_stones_to...

Pink Floyd star David Gilmour has told The Rolling Stones to quit touring
and "get a life".

Gilmour, 60, insists the veteran stadium rockers aren't interested in
music; they are simply obsessed with the adulation they receive from fans.

He says, "I think it's ridiculous, actually. Mick (Jagger) and Keith
(Richards) should get a life. It's like a strange, sexual compulsion.

"How much do they need? I think a lot of it is the applause. It's a
powerful drug. 50,000 people appearing to adore you.

"I'm a big Stones fan but they haven't done anything that matches their
earlier stuff in years."

4. Rolling Stones

НЕСТАРЕЮЩИЙ ДУШОЙ КОМОК НЕРВОВ ВЕТЕРАН РОК-Н-РОЛЛА, циничный любовник, расчетливый певец, увлеченный менеджер и находчивый продюсер. В детстве он был примерным мальчиком, но, решив заняться творчеством, научился манипулировать людьми. Узурпатор в группе, творил, что хотел, и в ее пределах, и вне. Женщины бросались на него, как мотыльки на огонек, в результате получая психологические и физические травмы, детей, депрессии, скандалы, и, в случае удачи, деньги. Шокирующие заявления, а также скандальные поступки, драки, ссоры с бывшими пассиями и любовь к девушкам, годящимся ему в дочери, не дают Джаггеру выйти из круга внимания таблоидов уже не первый десяток лет.
Провокационные ужимки, мужиковатый голос, привычки совершать на сцене беспощадные движения своим костлявым задом, талант выпивать с нужными людьми в нужном месте и в нужное время, неисчерпаемый запас идей и энергии, умение и в преклонном возрасте без напряжения быть современным, оригинальным, в нужной степени легкомысленным и хулиганистым (это молодит) - все эти звездные симптомы, отягощенные талантом, привели к тому, что Мик вошел в анналы рок-музыки и пребывает там на передовых позициях. Да и можно ли забыть человека, так нагло оравшего в лицо всему миру о том, что ему требуется Satisfaction? Похоже он так и остается неудовлетворенным - и это одно из его лучших качеств.
