Mick Jagger and someone on an airplane : the significance and effects of this piece of Mormon folklore, 2003.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/367545145

Isakson relates a commonly heard story in Mormon folklore, in which Mick Jagger (a member of the Rolling Stones) tells a prominent figure in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that he sings his music to entice kids to do drugs and have sex.

She concludes that the story is folkloric in the number of counter-tales and the amount of resistance and alteration it has inspired, but is not folkloric in that its main character (Mick Jagger) has remained the same in all stories.
