Jagger on Quake Tour Rolling Stones leader Mick Jagger made a surprise stop at earthquake-ravaged Wastonville to offer encouragement to its residents, including many impoverished farm workers, who are struggling to slowly rebuild their lives. “It’s a bit hard to take in,” said Jagger, who flew in by helicopter Saturday along with rock promoter Bill Graham two hours before the Stones concert at the Oakland Coliseum. During the performance, Jagger spoke to the audience about the Oct. 17 quake, saying: “Our hearts go out to you who suffered from that. I know that you Northern Californians have an incredible spirit . . . so I don’t have to tell you it’s a wonderful place to live.” Earlier, as he made an hour tour of the agricultural town of 30,000, the 46-year-old Jagger projected an image far from his “bad boy” pose when his band first came to prominence in the ‘60s. The Stones have pledged $500,000 for victims of the quake and Hurricane Hugo.
