When Geoff posted in the Political thread, today , the wonderful clip from the TV show,
Shindig , of
Mary Wells singing "
My Guy, " it took me back to my youth way way
Way back, somewhere right before the beginning of the Paleozoic era. Turns out that my friend’s parents got us all tickets to go sit in the audience of the
Shindig show when
The Rolling Stones showcased their brand new song,
Satisfaction , when they performed it for the first time on American television.
I wasn’t one of those screemie-meemie teeny-boppers (why are you
not surprised to hear that?) who was needing to be restrained from rushing onto the stage to tear off whatever piece of Mick Jagger’s clothing I might be able to grab before being subdued, but I at least had the good sense to be able to recognize and really appreciate absolutely first-rate fantastic sound when I was sitting right there inside it.
*** Don’t know how many of you might have caught Mick Jagger as dramatic actor in the movie,
Man From Elysian Fields , with Andy Garcia, but he was surprisingly good, and the movie was fun.
*** Now, those were the days when music really was music! EDIT : It's almost impossible that Mick Jagger and his band pals ever
ever looked as young and wholesome as they did in the first of the two videos here.
CUTE!
