The Lick
Funny, the things we remember sometimes. This week marks the seventh anniversary of my father's death. One of my favorite memories of my dad was a night many, many moons ago when we were watching Saturday Night Live. The Rolling Stones would be performing some songs on SNL, so of course I was going to watch.
Dad was sitting in a rocking chair and I was standing as the Stones broke into a tune. And then ... the moment ...
My goodness, you'd have thought that someone dropped a bomb on our house! The sight of Mick Jagger's tongue going near a guy had my dad ranting and raving. I tried to settle him down by saying "Dad, Jagger is just trying to be provocative and make some headlines." But it didn't matter -- the dirty deed had been done.
So yeah -- 33 years later the memory still remains -- a young guy and his father watching one of the greatest rock and roll bands ever.

That's a great story, and it must be a great memory too - poignant without being sad. Thanks for sharing.
