  not quite true. see "say a prayer for the common informer..." (541), a song 
  obviously refering to "salt of the earth", the final song on "beggar's 
  banquet" [1968]. & on page 742 we read, in context of sloth' last appearence  
  on the cover of "the fool"'s only record, about "the arrogant style of the    
  early stones". so mick jagger is implicitly mentioned twice in "gravity's   
  rainbow". if not more often. anyone?
