This is amazing. The media is reporting this as an anti-romney performance. But listen to the lyrics. No mention of Obama. Mick Jagger refers to Mitt Romney as a mensch. Jagger knows something about socialist governments - he fled the UK in the early 70's to avoid a tax on 'millionairs and billionairs'.

mensch:
The term is used as a high compliment, expressing the rarity and value of that individual's qualities. I assume, therefore, that Jagger was complimenting Romney? Why am I confused about this posting.
Is the theme that Jagger was saying something nice about him or not?

When I heard I’d missed Jagger on SNL I didn’t think twice, but JEFF BECK was on too? Man, I hate to have missed that. Beck is to a guitar what DaVinci was to a canvass and oils.
To: laweeks
yes - my point is that he was actually complimenting romney. it is political satire in a blues song but it is hardly anti-romney as reported in the media outlets. A mensch is yiddish and the highest compliment you can give a man.

I watched the beginning of SNL but was so depressed to see Mick Jagger looking so old that I fell asleep. I think Mick is turning 70 next year but I’m old enough where I can’t stay awake after midnight anymore.

Beck is to a guitar what DaVinci was to a canvass and oils. Beck tears it up! I hope a better quality version gets posted to youtube soon.

Mick always looked worse than his age. And I find it hard to find any pity for him. He’s such a low-life. And I was a fan, back in the day.
To: bagadonutz
But he did show up at some WH event not that long ago.

Definitely — there are virtuoso guitarists (Steve Vai for example), but Jeff Beck is the top.

Apparently the SNL writers asked Skinny Mick to come up with something biting - one thing I’ll say to his credit he always kept his nose out of American politics. Unlike, say, Paul McCartney.

Jeff Beck was great. I haven’t heard him in years but he hasn’t lost a step.

She was off doing other things for a while, but her groove with Vinnie C on the drums is just SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!

I saw SNL and MJ and I heard him say “mench” but I am not quite sure what it means. He grinned when he said it. MJ has never been plump but he is so skinny I am worried about him.

This is amazing. The media is reporting this as an anti-romney performance.Of course they are. They are now the Soviet American Press Surrealists (S.A.P.S. is the acronym).
Should Obama lose in November, I expect them, in unison, to congratulate Obama on his victory, speculate on the Obama second term agenda, and call Mitt Romney a sore loser who just happened to get a few more votes than the winner, Obama.
They the THAT bad, these days.

To: bagadonutz
I don’t think “always says his prayers ...but don’t ever let him cut your hair” was exactly a compliment.
Could have been worse, of course.

Jeff Beck, in my top five still alive, along with:
Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson and Eric Clapnor (sic).
Definitely there are virtuoso guitarists (Steve Vai for example), but Jeff Beck is the top.
