Mick Jagger will close out this season of NBC's "Saturday Night Live" as both host and, along with Foo Fighters and Arcade Fire, musical guest. He does so at a moment when his professional reputation is not exactly at its high water mark.
[snip]
I will take the admixture of flops and gems that Late Jagger yields over what I'm getting from Late Richards — which is not much of anything.

I saw Keef about 30 years ago with the New Barbarians. We were right on the wall in the old Atlanta Omni, he wasn’t 10’ from me for most of the show.
He looked like death warmed over back then.
Too bad Gilda’s no longer around to perform this classic on SNL:
Gimme Mick, gimme Mick
Baby’s hair, bulgin’ eyes, lips so thick
Are you woman, are you man
I’m your biggest funked-up fan
Gimme Mick, gimme Mick
Baby’s hair, bulgin’ eyes, lips so thick
Are you woman, are you man
I’m your biggest funked-up fan
So rock me and roll me ‘til I’m sick.”
[Struts up and down the stage]
“Some girls want Travolta
All black and white and slick
But there’s screamin’ hunky mamas yellin’
Gimme Mick
Well my fine performance
Take my wife and all that shtick
Makes me die just ta meet ya
(Gimme Mick, gimme Mick
Baby’s hair, bulgin’ eyes, lips so thick)
Are you woman, are you man
I’m your biggest funked-up fan
So rock me and roll me ‘til I’m sick
You, Mick Jagger, actually continue to perform at a concert where someone got knifed and killed during the 60’s
You, Mick Jagger, are English and go out with a model and get an incredible amount of publicity
You, Mick Jagger, don’t keep regular hours
You, Mick Jagger, have the greatest rock ‘n roll band in the history of rock ‘n roll, and you don’t even play an instrument yourself
(Rock ‘n roll, rock ‘n roll
Gimme gimme gimme rock ‘n roll)
Gimme gimme rock ‘n roll
(Gimme gimme gimme gimme)
Gimme gimme
Gimme gimme gimme gimme
Gimme Mick, gimme Mick
Baby’s hair, bulgin’ eyes, lips so thick
Are you woman, are you man
I’m your biggest funked-up fan
So rock me and roll meeee...
‘Til I’m sick [burps]-Ugh!”
He got all his aging out of the way early to be better prepared for his golden years.
Best rock and roll band ever.
He was kinda right. All that prancing and posturing. Mick knows there are dudes in the audience, right?
They went downhill after "Exile"
The Rolling Stones brought slime and trash to the Rock and Roll world. Bad enough that the Beatles looked like girls, but these dirtbags brought all the sleeze and filth you could haul to Rock and Roll. That’s my opinion, so . . . there!
Whose got them moves like Jagger?
The Who, circa 1970 was the best, IMHO.
The old Mickster is 69.
“AIN’T TOO PROUD TO WEAR DEPENDS”
“START ME UP WITH MY PACEMAKER”
“I CAN’T GET NO BOWEL MOVEMENT”
“JUMPIN’ JACK FLASH MY PACEMAKER JUST SHORTED OUT”
“LET’S SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER SAYING THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER”
“RUBY TUESDAY SO IT’S PUDDING AT DINNER”
“TIME IS ON MY SIDE BUT NOT GRAVITY”
YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT AND WHAT I WANT IS THOSE DAMN NEIGHBOR KIDS OFF MY LAWN”
At least Mick is a Tory.
And he still blows people half his age off of the stage.

I'm not a fan of “bests”, but that would be very difficult to argue.
And in continuing my break with not picking favorites, this is the best song from the magnificent repertoire of the legendary band:
Quote possibly the most overhyped band in history. There is no reason, aside from longevity, that they should be mentioned among the rock and roll elite.
Hey! (Hey!)
You! (You!)
Get offa my lawn!
I’ll try to check it out. My first question to you was going to be did Mick get a haircut for the movie. Looks like he did. Thanks for the tip.
“At least Mick is a Tory”
Sir Michael’s a Tory? Blimey, I had no idea. Thanks for that.
