Dancin' in Detroit... before it disappears

Pacers are now set to win the Superbowl in Detroit so the chance to dance to the mid time Stones music has it's allure. Let's hope we have no Justin and Miss Jackson 'wardrobe malfunctions'....

Anyway Mick and I go back a long way, on 26th Jan 1964 I stood nect to him in the Uirnals at the De Montfort Hall in Leicester UK ... I remember it weel, the day after a significant birthday... Mick has probably forgotten about it... anyway to appear with the band to dance I am told when I apply, I have to be under 45 yrs old, be avaiable for 7 rehearsals, one of them 7 hours long ... "to maintain the spontanaity of the dancin' " ..says the man on the end of the 'phone.

Chuck on the other side of town at the downbeat Detroit Motor Show announces discounts across 80% of the range of GM cars ...this after employee pricing all summer! They try to hook in the hundreds of overprices SUV hybrids which will sell in their ...er .. hundreds ?

Will the last person downsized in Flint please switch offfthe lights ?
