...years on? And is it true that Mick loves it, but felt obligated to prevent its release to ensure the band could continue to tour? Does its director consider it as an honest document that in all its messy debauchery, anger, humor and impunity represents the true spirit of rock n' roll of the era? Who knows. Rock n' roll may never die, and certainly not before it gets old, but the 82-year-old Frank - who was present at the Pompidou Center to open his retrospective the previous night - was too tired to make it to the screening. Still...
...driving, hard-edged drumming for the Rolling Stones has made him rock's premier percussionist, but it may surprise some fans to learn that Charlie Watts was stomping at the Savoy long before he ever got his ya-yas out. Watts, 45, who grew up in England listening to the gospel-tinged music of Cannonball Adderley and Art Blakey, had always dreamed of organizing an old-style jazz orchestra, but it was not until last year that the idea came together in a big 34-piece way.

The 15-month Born in the U.S.A. tour, which ended in October 1985, drew more than 5 million fans to 156 concerts in eleven countries, generating ticket sales of about $90 million. Springsteen's probable share: $50 million...
...singer owns an apartment in Manhattan, an estate in Rumson, N.J., and a home in Los Angeles. But he apparently disdains yachts, private jets and most of the trappings of the super-rich. At the Los Angeles recording session for We Are the World last year, as the other rock stars were arriving with their entourages in limousines, Springsteen strolled up alone. The Boss had flown in from a concert in Syracuse and rented a car at the airport...
