When:

Short story:

The Rolling Stones' vocalist Mick Jagger releases his first solo album, She's The Boss.

Full article:

Mick Jagger : The other Stones might think it’s possible that if the album did really well it might be the end of the Stones, but I know it won’t be. But it was still strange, working without the others. It is rather like having a wife and a mistress. The Stones thing is like a long marriage. I know them very well. I know their strengths and weaknesses. I almost have telepathy with them after all these years.

Paul Simon : He's not very interesting to me as an artist. I give him his due: I know how difficult it is to keep up your energy and to keep growing, and he has. I guess I don't like what he stands for. I mean, you can see his influence on almost every lead singer - a certain androgyny, or bisexuality, flaunted. And he did it in a way that was original, with a sense of irony. But what he really contributed was something of little value - the pose of anger and rebellion. He was sophisticated enough to use that to earn huge sums of money. But others took it to mean they should be rebellious, cruel, disdainful and misogynous.
