Simple Do’s and Don’ts If Mick Jagger Shows Up at Your Bar
Can’t you hear him knocking?
Provide shelter, if requested.
Don’t assume he’s just waitin’ on a friend.
Show some sympathy, and some taste.
Make every song your favorite tune, even if it’s only rock ’n’ roll.
Inform him as to whether any honky tonk women are present.
Don’t be surprised when he goes all down the line, rehashing his life story about being born in a cross-fire hurricane and all.
If he’s a midnight rambler and last call was 11:30, refrain from pointing out that you can’t always get what you want.
Should he urge you to paint it black or rip this joint, or argue that everything needs to be shattered, don’t assume he’s offering a complete remodel of your establishment.
If he tries to spend the night together and it becomes necessary to drag him away, don’t attempt to use wild horses.
Keep in mind that “I can’t get no satisfaction” would make a devastating Yelp review.
