Brevity by Dan Thompson for November 16, 2012

What is he holding, and why would he say that?

I don’t get it.

Little known fact. 20-odd years later, the same guy had a very similar encounter with Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth.

Crush 40?

Start you up, down the road you goHang on to your dreams, yeahCruising down to the paradiseTurn the car into the wind, yeah

Yup…. it’s MIck … And as posted by J. Potseed…this song

Cap’n, I never even noticed the Mick Jaguar pun…. GROAN….

Is he having those second thoughts cos the attendant is a guy?

nah… probably doesn’t matter….

Dalepederson…uh…. It’s a caricature of Mick “Jaguar” with a reference to Stones lyrics…

But now….can somebody ’splain me “BVTYBVTY” pretty please?

Oh…. and MadVirgo from yesterday…thank you.There was so much rambling off into other interpretations after my post I was starting to think no one got it OR had ever heard of the Technotronics song…(Not that I like it.)

LOL

One of the most perfectly pretty cars ever made. Dare I suggest that the first image you see at this link is awfully familiar? And it’s red as well.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_Dino

What does it mean at the end of that song when he sings “you make a dead man come”?Lazarus syndrome?

not a very good Mick Jagger

@j. ShortFunny thing, I cant’ get the image insert to work for me. It just shows up as text when I submit. I guess it’s like the old saying, “Them that can, do. Them that can’t, teach.”

Folks, this coincides with a documentary on the 50th anniversary of the Rolling Stones being together.

This cartoon gave me no satisfaction. (Never liked Jagger, but his recent SNL appearance showed him to be an excellent comic actor.)

But if it’s a Ferrari Dino, where are Desi and Billy?

Sort of a double pun since the song has car lyrics

Or does that make it a half pun? Clever either way

And, Susan, you are super smart but you really let me down on the license plate question… :-)

Start Me UP was written in 1975 as a reggae song, but the band didn’t like it much (they told their recording engineer to erase the tape). Then in 1982, they needed to release an album, but didn’t have time to go into the studio for a writing and recording session. They resurrected a bunch of old tracks from the vaults, reworked some of them (including Start Me Up) and released it as the album Tattoo You.Start Me Up became the last Stones single to hit the top ten in Britain. Not bad for a song they wanted to erase.

I have been thinking a lot as I will be back with my lover in about a month; funny that he still thinks someone else might start me up – I know NOT! and . . . I just can’t say what all I want to do.

Oh, that’s Mick Jagger? I had no idea that was him. Now it makes sense.

Did everyone miss that fact that she’s driving an electric car and he is asking her if she wants her batteries “topped off”

@devin.craneOkay then. I hope you feel better now.

Big problem – the guy in the window really doesn’t look like Mick, and the car is for sure a Ferrari Dino.
