Most actors who let twenty years pass between films might be in a bit of a slump, but luckily, Mick Jagger has a day job. After wrapping up the Rolling Stones tour, he also wrapped Freejack, in which he stars with current movie cannibal Anthony Hopkins. For his big-screen return, Jagger plays a twenty-first-century bounty hunter with the enviable and admirable task of stalking and trying to kill Emilio Estevez.

This story is from the June 27, 1991 issue of Rolling Stone.

“Satisfied”

Tom Waits | 2011

Only the genius of Tom Waits could combine the subject of mortality, a reoccurring theme in his work, with wordplay that name checks both Mick and Keith, whom he calls "Mr. Jagger" and "Mr. Richards," and the title of their magnum opus, "Satisfaction." And to show just how cool Waits really is, he even got Mr. Richards to play along, one of nine guest appearances the guitarist has made on three Waits albums. "This growling roadhouse stomp is a late-breaking response to the Stones' greatest hit," Rolling Stone said of the track.
