VoodooChileInWOnderl Mick and Mr. Jimmy

It was in another of the city's landmark stores, the since-closed Bacon Drug, where longtime city residents insist that Jagger was inspired to write the Rolling Stones' anthem, "You Can't Always Get What You Want."

According to the story, Jagger arrived at the drugstore to get a prescription filled on the morning after playing at Danceland and met Jimmy Hutmaker, a longtime resident.

Hutmaker, who said he had met Jagger at the concert, said he complained to Jagger that he had just ordered a cherry coke at the drugstore but instead got a regular coke. "I told Mick, 'You can't always get what you want,' " Hutmaker said.

Though the story has never been verified, references to a drugstore, a cherry soda, a prescription and "Mr. Jimmy" -- Hutmaker's nickname -- all appear in the song.

And Hutmaker, now 71, still walks daily through Excelsior's downtown, where he dispenses business cards that include the song's lyrics and identify him as the city's "roving ambassador." Mick and Jimmy's, a downtown restaurant named after Jagger and Mr. Jimmy, has since closed.

scope And Voodoo, if he had met you last year in NY, I'm convinced you would be in the next new song.

Let's see, something like, "I met a man, Mr. Voodoo, he had no ticket for the show, then SS came through and his spirits grew, but where he ended up, no one would ever know"
