The Stones still rolling The voice at the other end of the line is unmistakable: garrulous, formed by decades of cigarettes, whiskey, drugs and singing. Half an hour later another unmistakable voice is on the line. This one is silkier, a bit of a posh accent, and the debauched living isn't audible. In separate conversations with Zap2it, in the early days. This film is more like home movies – which are fun – than an objective or probing documentary. That makes sense considering Jagger and Richards are among the producers. While rehearsing in Paris before setting off on Keith Richards, then Mick Jagger talk about their half-century – yes, 50 years – with the Rolling Stones, as featured in HBO's "Crossfire Hurricane" Thursday, Nov. 15. It would be impossible to capture what the quintessential rock band means in a single documentary, and this tries in just under two hours. The result is uneven. It has some excellent concert footage and reminders of how the world has evolved over the years. Initially, the Rolling Stones were threatening; the Beatles were the darlings, and the Stones were the bad boys. The footage of hostile newscasters alone makes this fun, as stiff, disapproving middle-aged men of the 1960s pretty much castigated these young men. And they were so very young when they shot to stardom, and Jagger looks like such a baby BY JACQUELINE CUTLER tour, Richards and Jagger answer our questions. Q: How do you describe the film? Jagger: It is irreverent enough. In the beginning I said to Brett (Morgen, the director), "It is not supposed to be reverent." I think in the end, the film does turn out to be an irreverent look at the band. Q: Half a century is rather remarkable for anything. Does it feel so long when you are with the band? Richards: I look around and see all the old faces, and then it all falls into place. This band is kind of strange. It has its own magnetic, chemical reactions, and once we are together and playing there is this satisfaction. Satisfaction! (He laughs at his unintended reference to one of the band's signature songs.) You are doing what you are supposed to be doing any time I am playing with the Stones. from certain periods I like, and (others I) can't stand them any more and don't want to sing. Q: You must reach a point when you don't feel like singing "Satisfaction." What happens then? Jagger: If we don't really want to do it, then we don't. We are not doing that tonight; OK, it's out. Q: So much of rock 'n' roll stems Q: What are your favorite Stones songs? Jagger: I don't have favorites at all. Songs from being frustrated, unsatisfied, put upon. But success and acceptance had to change that. How do you recapture those feelings in concert? Richards: You get angry for five minutes, and you get young again for five minutes, and that is basically the truth of the matter. The music does it to you. You don't do it to the music.
