Eat at Mick and Jimmy's!

I love this story from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune (link courtesy poyner.og/romenesko). It starts off to be a story about how a small Minnesota town is advertising itself as the alternative to mass-mall culture with the slogan "Secede from Starbucks Nation." The story goes on to cite many of the charms of Excelsior, including its claim that Mick Jagger was inspired there to write the song "You Can't Always Get What You Want." According to the town wag, who really is named Jimmy, he met up with Jagger at the town's pharmacy after they played a gig in the burg in 1964 (they really did play there) and in complaining about receiving a regular coke instead of a cherry coke at the soda fountain, uttered the now-famous phrase.
