... that Mick Jagger has been referred to as "the rock and roll frontman" by
billboard.com? Source: "Fifty-plus years on top makes the Stones the rock and roll band and Jagger the rock and roll frontman." (

TheSandDoctor, making an edit to ALT1, which, for the joke to work, has too much in it; besides, how many people know the exact year that the Stones were formed? I didn't. Adding that part as an ALT2. In general, though, isn't there something juicier/more interesting from Jagger's life? That he thought about becoming a journalist, that he dropped out of
LSE (and then dropped LSD), that he has 8 kids... How about that the Hells Angels tried to kill him?
Thanks
Usernameunique, a user transcluded this in good faith (which I thank them for) when, due to real life circumstances, I did not have time to finish the nomination, I have not added all of the hooks that I have intended to add.
TheSandDoctor GA, in time, long enough, sourced, no apparent copyvios. Striking some hooks which I find less interesting. Issues:
QPQ needed.
I can't approve my own hooks. I've struck two of them, but do like ALT8. Will need someone else to approve that one.
Are the Grammy mentions in the article? Not my favorite hooks regardless, but I don't see them mentioned.
Not a DYK issue, but two of the Hells Angels sources are the same—I think you accidentally used the same link twice. --
