From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2008-03-08:
"My first visual impression of Mick was that he was all ears and lips, and oh so skinny. Funnily, over the years his ears seem to have shrunk to normal proportions, and the lips, while still notoriously gigantic, have deflated from dirigible size to the more accessible thickness of a pair of meaty kielbasas." -- Long John Baldry, blues musician, in a 1989 essay, recalling his first meeting with Mick Jagger in 1962. Quoted in It Ain't Easy: Long John Baldry and the Birth of the British Blues by Paul Myers.
