Kathy Orloff, who was present at the only interview The Rolling Stones have given since their arrival In the VS. -CM.) it I The Rolling Stones are mythmakers.

And although there might be some argument as to their relative posi tion in the rock-pop hierarchy, there is no doubt they are up there toward the top. Writers like to call them "Sa: tanic Majesties," after the title of one of their LP's. Certainly Mick Jagger cuts a rather black and The Stones for many years played in The Yang. In the three years since The Stones have per- formed in the U.S., they have undergone a few been involved in a few hassles and lost a bass guitarist, who shortly thereafter was found dead in his pooL In order to take care of the painful press ritual inj one fell swoop. The Stones held a press conference short ly after their arrival in Los Angeles.

All five showed and seemed genuineil pleased to be here. Jagger was in a. particularly jocular mood, taking all questions head When one lady reporter asked: "How's Marianne Faith- 2 ful?" Mick answered: "She's fine. How are The Stones agreed that they might do a free conceit sometime during their U.S. tour, probably toward thej end.

But no mention was made of any date or location." Jagger didn't seem interested in talking about hisK movie career.

Pilgrim Company In an adaptation of By William Alford Contributing Critic Hie oiling Stones, with 13 albums and countless ingles behind them, have sold a total of 72 million records. The reason for their remarkable, and remarkably sustained popularity, is not only their musical strength but, the preception and quality of their literary statement.

Hailed and reciled as demons and saints, the Rolling Stones stand as poetic prophets of the strains and frustrations felt by the more aware and responsible members of their generation. Refusing to see themselves or anyone else in terms as inhumane and absolute as demonic or saintly, the Stones have deplored the crassness of their era while signalling the need for a mature reexamination of our society and ourselves. In early material such as "Satisfaction," the Stones cry out not only against the politics and commercialism of a society that is "trying to buy my imagination," but against all the dissatisfaction inherent in any dealings between two or more individuals. Song after song on albums such as "Out of Our Heads," "12x5" and ber's Children' speak to and of the difficulty of meshing one's desires and distinctiveness with those of another so as to achieve a relationship. And on "Aftermath," each of the album's 11 songs captures many of the different stances an individual might assume after the dissolution of a relationship, and in so doing, suggests the feeling the Stones have for awesome majesty and foulness of the human spirit.

The gently phrased plaintive pains of songs like "Lady Jane" and "I Am the haughty, biting, bitterness of "Don-cha Brother Me" and "Stupid Girl;" the joyouly insecure revenge of "Under My Thumb;" the driving, lusty honesty of "Going Home;" the apocalyptic vision of "Paint it Black," and the sad, worldy-wise way of "Think," all combine to form what many feel to be the "pinnacle of rock music." Though some said that there was no place for the Stones to. go following "Aftermath," they probed and groped outward and beyond in creating albums like "Between the Buttons," "Flowers," "Their Satanic Royal Majesty's Request," and "Let it Bleed." But it is "Begger'a Banquet" that the Stones toss their co-ordinate themes of personal identity and interpersonal relationship into the hopper of current-day politics, philosophy, and society and achieve the keen, complete pronouncement of their vision. "The time is right for violent revolution," cries Jagger. "Our society has become corruptly inhumane, distorting the values upon which it supposedly rests.
