Bring back Mimi! I remember that show of a couple years back and it was terrific. The two of you clicked and the music was great.

The Who's 1982 "Farewell" tour.
Both The Clash and Shea Stadium are now
gone, yet The Who are still around.
...funny how those things happen.

Sat. 12/27/08 5:58pm whiskered lady:

to say that the who are still around today, no less then is sketchy at best considering their drummer had already been dead for 4 years. but i would still have paid to see them at that point in time.
