The original bad boys of rock
Daily Express, 12/07/2012, p.20, Robert Gore-Langton
'They weren't nice like The Beatles. They were shaggy, sulky and they pouted. Half a century ago The Rolling Stones played their first live concert. Mick was carrying a collection of blues records as he commuted to the London School of Economics, where he was studying. Keith was en route to Sidcup Art College, electric guitar over his shoulder. They had been to the same primary school and quickly hit it off on meeting again, enthusing about Chuck Berry's hot licks.'

The Independent (Web), 11/07/2012, Ben Chu
Tim Leunig of the CentreForum think tank and the London School of Economics has sent an email in which he takes issue with Capital Economics’ analysis on house prices, particularly the idea that present rental costs indicate that there is not a shortage of housing.
