Jagger and Hall Have Baby Boy

Mick Jagger reached another milestone early Tuesday -- the 54-year-old rocker once again became a father.

Jerry Hall, Jagger's wife, gave birth to Gabriel Luke Beauregard Jagger at 12:30 a.m. in London on Dec. 9. The boy weighed in at eight pounds, three ounces.

Jagger, who is currently on tour in America with the Rolling Stones, isn't expected to see his new son until the band wraps up this leg of the "Bridges to Babylon" tour on Friday in St. Louis.

Gabriel is the sixth child for Jagger, his fourth with Hall. Jagger has two other daughters: one with ex-wife Bianca Jagger, the other with singer/actress Marsha Hunt

“All Along the Watchtower”

The Jimi Hendrix Experience | 1968

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
