For those of us who thought that rock ‘n’ roll died, we can rest easy that it has returned in the form of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. A Bigger Bang is the first studio album by The Rolling Stones since 1997’s Bridge to Babylon, and it could not have come at a better time.

I want to cut through the propaganda and hype. The city’s best cheesesteak is much closer to Eastern than the South Street heavyweights Geno’s and Jim’s.
