To the dismay of many, Mick Jagger appears not to have been the wild, hedonistic rocker some thought, but more like . . . like . . . oh, something ridiculous, like a guy who attended the London School of Economics. TheWrap laments:

That's not necessarily conservative. It just means he had a sense of decorum and appropriateness. The article also notes that Jagger was a stern businessman from the start, careful to note every purchase the fledgling band made. But that's not rock and roll, man! Say it isn't so! You guys are all about, y'know, bringing birds with no bras to see your mum and spending money on expensive crap and drinking champagne out of crow's skulls 'n' stuff. Sure. On the other hand, he's alive, working, and probably has a half a billion dollars. Take your choice.
