(CBS Local) Music differences aside, the Rolling Stones share some similarities with one of today's biggest boy bands and fellow Brits, One Direction. Those are the words straight from Mick Jagger's mouth, at least when it comes to the beginning of the Stones' career.

"I watched a concert of One Direction on the TV the other night, you know just to check [it] out," Jagger told CNN.
