[net.music] Live-Aid -- Mick and Tina

GMW@psuvm.BITNET (07/18/85)

    Is it just me, or did Tina Turner seem to be holding back when on stage
with Jagger?  Something seemed not-quite-right during the entire performance.
Maybe I missed something, but I don't understand why Tina, and then Mick left
the stage the first time.  Surely not just for a change of costume.  Jagger was
in rare form during his first 2 solo numbers, apparently caught up in the
magnitude of the crowd and the event itself, but then his attitude seemed to
switch to one of cynicism, and his 3rd song lacked the power and excitement o
the first two.  Could it be that Tina detected this, and couldn't get the Zen
to work with Mick?
     
     My opinion:  Jagger completely overstepped the bounds of taste when he
ripped off Tina's skirt.  She was obviously embarassed, and would have been
totally justified in giving Mick a knee to the groin before rushing offstage.

I think it was just you, George.  If you had been paying attention to your TV
you would of noticed that both Mick and Tina were trying very hard to hold
back their laughter.  Obviously they were enjoying what they were doing, and
I think most viewers (at least the ones I know) though it was great.

As for Mick overstepping the bounds of good taste, next time change the
channel.
