Speaking of Mick Jagger, some years ago there was a kid (a young man) working where I work, who looked like Mick Jagger.
It was kind of surprising.
The manager of his department came in my office one day and asked if the kid was in yet, I looked it up in the computer, and no, he was not in yet. Then I added, "You know what? That kid kind of looks like Mick Jagger."
The manager was not expecting that. (Well, neither was I.) He looked at me for a second, thought about it, and then shook his head, and kind of laughed.
A short bit later, the kid arrived at work - I saw him - and I called his boss on the two-way radio: "Rick Schulz, you got a copy on me? - 'Mick Jagger's' here. ..."
One day I mentioned to the kid, when he stopped in, that he looked like Mick Jagger. He hadn't been told that, before. He was kind of like - 'o-kay'... He was more interested in my sunglasses that I had at the time.
He asked me if he could try them on. He said, "I just want to see if they look as badass on me, as they do on you."
This unexpected outburst of hep-cat lingo was startling to me, in a not unpleasant way....
"Badass."
... badass...?!?
