(00:00:00):
So I'm sitting there,
(00:00:01):
stage left,
(00:00:01):
and I'm looking at my monitor,
(00:00:03):
and I'm just aware of like a presence to my left.
(00:00:08):
And I kind of just look over,
(00:00:11):
and it's this guy,
(00:00:12):
and I immediately see that it's Mick Jagger,
(00:00:18):
who I've never met.
(00:00:19):
And Mick Jagger looks at me, and he starts nudging me.
(00:00:25):
And in kind of a comic American voice, he's like, hey, hey, how's the crowd?
(00:00:29):
How's the crowd?
(00:00:30):
How's the crowd?
(00:00:30):
How's the crowd out there?
(00:00:31):
How's the crowd doing?
(00:00:31):
How's the crowd doing?
(00:00:32):
How are they?
(00:00:33):
How are they?
(00:00:34):
And I said, uh, crowd's really good, because they were, as I said.
(00:00:37):
It's a good crowd.
(00:00:38):
And I said, but you don't have to worry about that, because you're Mick Jagger.
(00:00:41):
And he went, oh, no, no, I'm not gonna try and do a Mick Jagger.
(00:00:45):
But he said, I always worry about the crowd.
(00:00:47):
And I said, wait a minute.
(00:00:49):
So you're with the Rolling Stones and you're in Buenos Aires and you're getting
(00:00:55):
ready to come out and start the show and you're gonna start off with satisfaction.
(00:01:00):
And you're anxious that the crowd isn't gonna be good.
(00:01:03):
And he said, oh no, definitely, I wear an earpiece.
(00:01:08):
and I listened to the crowd,
(00:01:10):
and sometimes I can tell the crowd isn't quite there yet,
(00:01:13):
and I have to give it a little extra up front.
(00:01:16):
And I was so relieved, because I realized, obviously, he's...
(00:01:22):
35 levels beyond me, but nothing ever goes away.
(00:01:27):
Meaning I've had many people give me a hard time because I'm in a small gathering
(00:01:31):
and I'm supposed to get up and give a toast and Liza can tell I'm anxious and I'm
(00:01:36):
getting worked up and I'm looking around the room to see,
(00:01:38):
is this a good room?
(00:01:39):
And she's like, it's a dinner party.
(00:01:41):
What are you doing?
(00:01:42):
And I'm like, it just never goes away.
(00:01:45):
You're always worried about that stuff.
(00:01:46):
And to hear that Mick Jagger, who's I believe 81,
(00:01:52):
The front man for the Rolling Stones is asking people, asking me, how's the crowd?
(00:01:59):
You think I'll be all right out there?
(00:02:02):
I don't know.
(00:02:02):
It's gonna be touch and go for you, Mick.
(00:02:04):
How's the lighting?
(00:02:05):
Yeah, exactly.
(00:02:07):
Yeah.
(00:02:09):
But he, I mean, I was kind of intimidated because I didn't know what he would be like.
(00:02:13):
He was incredibly nice.
(00:02:17):
He said to me at one point, oh, and by the way, we've never met.
(00:02:19):
And I'm like, he, how do you know you've never met me?
(00:02:23):
Isn't your life just a blur of occasionally an orange person comes by?
(00:02:27):
He was lovely.
(00:02:29):
He was great and funny and thoughtful.
(00:02:32):
And I had a great exchange with him.
(00:02:33):
And then I knew
(00:02:36):
I need to end this.
(00:02:38):
Like, don't hang on too long.
(00:02:40):
So I said, well, anyway, wonderful, lovely, it was very nice to meet you too.
(00:02:44):
And I walk away and I think Ruthie has me walking away from him.
(00:02:48):
And I saw that Ruthie was filming it and I just walk up and go like,
(00:02:51):
okay,
(00:02:51):
that just fucking blew my mind.
(00:02:52):
That was fucking cool.
