----------------------- [excerpt from I, Tina - written by Tina Turner with Kurt Loder. Copyright 1986, Harper Collins] --------------------------
Tina: Mick wanted to learn the pony. He said, "How do you guys do that?"
So we all started dancing - and I finally saw what he had been doing onstage.
I said, "Look at the rhythm on this guy! God, Mick, come on!"
I mean, we laughed. Because Mick was serious - he wanted to get it.
He didn't care about us laughing at him.
And finally he got it, in his own kind of way.
-------------------------------------------------
That was in 1966.
Fifty-eight years later - there's a tape of Mick practicing in his home studio - it's on You Tube. You type in
Mick Jagger's Dance Moves at Age 80
It's quite the inspiration, for us all, to continue moving, as we age.
