Season of the Witch : How the Occult Saved Rock And Roll (9780698143722) (2014)
“The Circus was recorded for BBC Television and would be the first of its kind, a true rock spectacle aimed directly at living rooms. By 1968, Mick Jagger had styled himself as something of a dandy-in-devil’s-clothing, a master seducer out to ruin civilization, or, short of that, at least your daughters. The Stones had just released Beggars Banquet, a return to their roots after the much-maligned Their Satanic Majesties Request. The Beggars opening track, “Sympathy for the Devil,” a strongly pol...itical song that at once celebrates and mourns the evil that had befallen the 1960s, is Jagger in full-on swagger. Although there was still hope, Jagger’s performance was a prophetic moment. Woodstock was still a year away and popular culture was decorated in paisley prints and primary colors. The Rolling Stones were not hippies, though. Their music was a conscious attempt to recover rock’s blues-based origins, and in doing so reconjured Legba-turned-Satan, reminding everyone who the real patron saint of rock really was.MoreLess
