...before, the music tends to be willfully coarse and loud, tough for anyone over 30 to like. As before, the musicians are passionately, defiantly alienated lumpen prole white boys flirting with nihilism. ''I'm a negative creep,'' Nirvana's Kurt Cobain sang. Keith Richards remained cooler than Mick Jagger because he was a junkie; Sid Vicious became the permanently coolest member of the Sex Pistols when he died of a heroin overdose; Cobain has already spent some of his fresh superstardom as a heroin user. The Who and Jimi Hendrix ritually smashed and burned guitars onstage in the '60s; today...
Even by her own exacting standards, the black-tie gala that Houston socialite Becca Cason Thrash organized in Paris on June 10 was exceptional. The 272 attendees, who paid up to $10,000 each, included a smattering of European royalty, Bianca Jagger, Wall Street grandees Wilbur Ross and Stephen Schwarzman, and the cream of Houston high society. Thrash flew in her Los Angeles decorator, and says she was so nervous about the arrangements that "by 6 p.m. I was looking for a cyanide capsule." This wasn't any old fund raiser: it was held for the Louvre, in the Louvre...

The list of successful people with economics backgrounds spans many walks of life: Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, Diane von Furstenberg, Warren Buffet, Donald Trump, Kofi Annan, Sandra Day O’Connor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Meg Whitman—even Gene Kelly, Mick Jagger, and Tiger Woods...
Scorsese, who was born the year before Jagger and Richards and a year after Watts, made his first short film in 1963, when the Stones released their debut single. And he knows them well enough to see them clearly. The camera reveals that age has been hard on the group's faces--they all look like Dorian Gray's pictures--but kind to their bodies. The guys are pencil-slim, especially Mick. Watching in awe as he capers indefatigably, shaking his sexagenarian booty, you want the secret of the Mick Jagger Fitness Regimen, even if you suspect...
...director, the point of his remorseless close-ups of Jagger & Co. isn't exposé but celebration. Shine a Light is a tribute to the glamour of survival. That's something Scorsese knows in his bones. In nearly 40 years of documentaries, he has looked outward--by studying Jagger or Dylan or Armani or his own family--and found insights into himself. And when he shares them with the world, it's more than nonfiction art. That's docutainment...
