Rylander Quarterly On-Line: Woody Guthrie

Truman Capote on Mick Jagger:

One thing I'll say about Mick Jagger. He's fascinating in the sense that he's one of the most total actors that I've ever seen. He has this remarkable quality of being absolutely able to be totally extroverted...and then revert into another person almost instantly...he's really an extraordinary actor. And that's exactly what he is because: (a) he can't sing; (b) he can't dance; (c) he doesn't know a damn thing about music. But he does know about coming on and being a great showman. And putting on a fantastic act, of which the vital element is energy. Don't you think? Tell me what you think. You think he can sing?
(quoted in Rolling Stone interviewed by Andy Warhol, 1973)
