#摇滚故梦# （16/22）【魔鬼】
15 The Devil/Mick Jagger
魔鬼/米克·贾格尔
“Please allow me to introduce myself, I’m a man of wealth and taste”
虽然自称“啊？我不是撒旦主义者啊”， 但米加通过”叫我路西法“的歌词和登上灾难性的阿尔塔蒙压轴表演终究是成为了摇滚史中撒旦的代名词。据说灵感是大师和玛格丽特，我个人觉得同情魔鬼很高傲很俏皮又毫无悔意，从少见的魔鬼视角讲述了人类历史，还是一段娓娓道来的有历史剧情感的自白，是石少数有深度的作品。话说回来米加领导贵石召集一堆有名乐队录制了马戏团，把一堆群演折腾了两天两夜，最后因为谁团表现太好把录像带雪藏二十年这种行为也是挺魔鬼的。
虫和石作为天使与魔鬼的对比不止体现在平均寿命和互联网meme上，也体现在歌词上。谁能想到“我想拉你小手”和“把她玩弄股掌之间”两首歌是时隔两年发布的，体现了温柔深情和坏笑霸总两种男爱豆人设的早期形态。魔鬼牌象征了诱惑，束缚和物欲层面的堕落。米加作为著名性感厚唇大明星（虽然以亚洲审美来看真的很丑），他拥有扭曲的舞姿（…），不惧挑战社会常规的性格，和无法否认的魅力。虽然与魔鬼相关的印象是贵石共有的，但米加无疑是全员里最符合魔鬼牌意的一位。
Also never claiming to be a Satanist himself, through lyrics like “just call me Lucifer” and a main stage performance during the catastrophic Altamont freeway festival, Mick Jagger has succeeded in earning the reputation as the in rock and roll’s most famous devil, an impression that he shared with the rest of the stones. Allegedly inspired by The Master and Margarita, “Sympathy of The Devil” was an account of human history from the angle of the devil himself. It’s arrogant, witty and regret-less, full of plot and historical narrative, and I believe it is one of the deepest songs ever created by The Rolling Stones. By the way, Mick also did a pretty devilish deed by gathering a bunch of famous musicians of the time, dragging them and a crowd of audiences through two days of filming, just to throw the tape of The Rock and Roll Circus away in the bin where it stayed for thirty years just because The Who’s splendid performance upstaged that of the stones.
The contrast between The Beatles as angelic figures and The Stones as devilish figure doesn’t only exist in internet memes and their average lifespans, but is also exhibited in the content of their lyrics. The Beatles’s “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” and The Stones’s “Under My Thumb” were both written in the early 60s, displaying a stark difference in their public images. The Devil signifies temptation, restriction and material degeneration. As a well-known charismatic figure with sexy full lips, Mick has snake-like movements, an unapologetic attitude, and undeniably intoxicating charm, making him a literal embodiment of the phrase “sex, drugs, rock and roll”. Although the devil-related impression is shared among the entire band, Mick is unquestionably the one member most suitable to represent the meaning of The Devil.
