Hi, Glenn! :-) I recorded the Mick SNL show too, and plan to watch it again also. Mick as a nerd (albeit with a huge twinkle in his eye) in several sketches was indeed too hysterical. I especially enjoyed him as a shy, prissy, whiny-voiced wallflower out clubbing with friends, as he sat and watched several others get up and do comical send-ups of his real-life trademark stage moves to a Stones song. Tee hee. How'd he keep from cracking up? Just barely, I'm sure, but he has a natural actor's ability to cover and continue. Another stand-out was the soap opera sketch spoofing Valley Californians and their accents and supposed blase' affectations, in which Mick and several others, including black cast member Kenan Whoozit (Thompson?), all appeared as spacy blonds. Giggle. After years of thinking I didn't like him (outside of enjoying Stones songs), I really got a kick outta Mick's joie de vivre and obviously genuine big smile. I think he's gotta be clean and sober-- he looks too healthy for the alternative. He's still skinny as a stick and jumps around when he sings like he always did. Now THAT'S the way to push 70, if he's not there or beyond already!! Good show, Sir Mick!! :-)

Oh I didn't watch the pagentry.
But I did catch some clips of the event.
I especially liked the floating yellow school buses on The Thames River.

Hahaha!! :-) Whatever DID become of our tragical hystery tour, anyway?? Did I miss notice of an extended postponement?? Last I knew, the tour was coming up on a certain weekend, and a few of us were huddled in the bus stop shelter singing "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall"! ;-)
