'I hope they don't think we're one of
those rock 'n' roll outfits," Mick Jagger
boasted before his six-man jazz contin-
gent The Rolling Stones took the stage for
their fist-ever concert at London's hip
Marquee Club in late 1962.
Almost 40 years later Jagger - a man
who not only molded Rock 'n' Roll but
also forever set the bar for the stage out-
fits worn by Rock 'n' Rollers - is still
grimacing and oozing sexuality in front
of thousands on a nightly basis.
A year and a half-plus removed from
the start of the "Bridges To Babylon"
extravaganza - the Rolling Stones, a
band that borrowed its name from a
Muddy Waters song, are back on the
road. With Jagger minus a billion-dollar
blonde better-half, with no new album in-
toe and no plans to retum to the studio
anytime soon and Keith Richards voice
sounding even more like steel Aol's
tango with the inside of your garbage dis-
posal - the band is blasting its way
across the country and the world with the
"No Security" tour. The tour will hit the
Palace of Auburn Hills Monday night.
But the latest mad show, which kicked
off with a night oftomfoolery in Oakland,
Jan. 25, has aheady faced its share ofset-
backs. A spat in late January between
warring record labels forced puink-rock-
ing Green Day to abandon plans to open
for the Stones at five Midwestern venues
including The Palace. Less than a week
into life on the road, two shows in San
Jose, Calf., were canceled when Mick
Jagger took ill. The front-man's bout with
the. flu comes while a fierce legal battle
still rages between Jagger - dubbed
"Jumping Jack Cash" by European
tabloids - and his estranged wife,Texas-
born model Jerry Hall, over the end of the
couple'seight-year marriage.
But even after 1998 - a year when
critics concluded rock 'n' roll collectively
flushed itself down the toilet after slitting
its own wrists with a butter knife --"No
Security" seems to be generating Jagger-
without-a-shirt-on levels of excitement
among fans, promoters and even critics.
"We're on a roll, you know," Jagger
told reporters in November of last year
when plans for the 1999 tour were made
public. And with promoters still drooling
over profit margins of the more-critically-
acclaimed-than-anyone-expected
"Bridges to Babylon,"was ready to argue.
"No Security" is not quite the traveling
circus fans were treated to last year,how-
ever. "Babylon" opened featuring a multi-
million-dollar, Egyptian-motif stage that
came alive in a mid-show mess of gears
and moving platforms and transported the
band to the middle of the crowd for a few
quick numbers. The tour also began on
the heels of the release of the mediocre
album of the same name - a CD com-
plete with two fairly-well-received singles
"Anybody Seen My Baby" and "Saint of
Me." Finally, the tour sported on-stage
duets in faraway places including Buenos
Aires with the likes of Bob Dylan.
The "No Security" tour offers set lists
of the same mix of older classics and
