Related: About this forumMick Jagger Performs Presidential Election Song, References Romney’s Unfortunate Hair-Cutting Past
VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/mick-jagger-performs-presidential-election-song-references-romneys-unfortunate-hair-cutting-past/
Generally the last sketch of the evening is the weakest, but not so for the season finale, which featured Mick Jagger performing a blues number he had written about the upcoming presidential election, with Jeff Beck on guitar. The song briefly took on Mitt Romney (you better not let him cut your hair, Jagger advised), but he switched gears in the second verse to wonder whos going to win the election in November. He played coy and didnt give a prediction, but he did say shit on network television, so I supposed everybody wins? -snip-

He's been practicing, I can tell.
