“The Jagger hand was taken just before the tour, when they were in Montauk staying at Andy Warhol’s house, rehearsing. Jagger told me he had put his hand through a plate-glass window, thinking it was the door to a restaurant out there. He’s very superstitious—you know that song Hand of Fate’? When this happened he went out and asked for every book that had the word hand’ in its title. Anyway, I knew he was going to the doctor to have the wound redressed and I asked if I could go along and take pictures. He was reluctant, but he said the decision was up to the doctor, who said sure.’ Then when I started shooting, Mick asked, ‘Are you shooting this in color?’ I said, `No! It’s too gross. I’m doing it in black-and-white.’ And he insisted that I go get a roll of color.” -Annie Leibovitz
