The Rolling Stones: Some Girls Live in Texas Coming to DVD!

It’s easy to take a band like The Rolling Stones for granted. They’ve been together, through various lineup changes (but surprisingly only one actual member death!), touring and recording new music since before most people reading this blog were even born. Is that some kind of record? I’m just going to say that it is.

Al Franken Emerges Victorious, Impersonates Mick Jagger

After an arduous recount procedure, it looks like Democrat Al Franken will finally be declared the winner of the tight U.S. Senate contest in Minnesota, thank god. Some of you youngsters out there might not know that Franken is also a well-known satirist who wrote for and starred on NBC’s Saturday Night Live back in the eighties (“The Al Franken Decade”). To celebrate Al’s exciting victory, here’s a hilarious clip from the TV show Solid Gold of Franken and his comedic partner, Tom Davis, performing The Rolling Stones’ “Under My Thumb” as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, respectively.
