Final statistics on the Stones’ Nicaragua benefit. Final gross was $516,810. 1,976 tickets went for $100, 7,439 for $25, 8,079 for $15 and a mere 1,205 for $10. That’s the highest grossing one night in history.

After being banned from appearing in Japan (“because of his marijuana conviction,” the government says, though Jagger denies it) Mick Jagger told Earth News that “governments are building so many barriers around him and other members of the Rolling Stones that ‘they may well beat us down.’ ” That’s what happens if you hang out with people who shoot water rats, we guess.
