The Rumours are True!
Mick Jagger Gets His Satisfaction at the MacKenzie!
Regina – During their Saturday off between back-to-back Regina concerts, Mick Jagger and his young son took time out to visit the MacKenzie Art Gallery.
At closing time on Saturday evening (6 p.m.) MacKenzie staff were surprised when a British man walked in and asked if the Gallery could be kept open for a special visit from Mick Jagger. Logistically, the visit was complicated because five wedding parties were in the foyer of the T.C. Douglas building having their photographs taken. Nevertheless, Mick, his small son and his security guard got out of their limo and entered the gallery, amidst the flashes of many cameras.
The three special guests spend the next half hour exploring the variety of exhibitions current at the Gallery including Situation Comedy: Humour in Recent Art, Wahwâ Neechi Funk: Aboriginal Humour Exhibition and Norman MacKenzie: Raiders of the Lost Vault. After touring through the exhibition spaces, Mick Jagger graciously gave all the staff still on the premises a Rolling Stones guitar pick as a souvenir of his visit. Because of all the action in the lobby, our security people helped Mick sneak out an alternative entrance to avoid causing another commotion.
The MacKenzie Art Gallery presents exhibitions and programming with something for everyone. We welcome all the Stones fans in Regina to join us for our ‘Funny Fall’ exhibition opening reception on Friday October 13th, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Come and have a laugh, or two on us. Mick certainly did.
Everyone is welcome and admission is free.

The best rock show that I have ever seen was Lacuna Coil. Granted, they're metal, so it was technically not a rock show, but you know what I mean.
The Stones are about the only group that older era that don't bother me at all. I can't even give the Beatles a chance because of Lennon. Ugh...
I don't consider myself a Stones fan, but am now regreting not checking them out when they were oh soooo close. Word is out though that they will be bringing more big names to Saskatchewan because of how impressed the tour organizers were with "us". I can only think of a few that could fill the stadium like the Stones did....possibly U2, the Eagles or AC/DC, any of which I would love to see.
btw....thanks for the nice message today Wonder Woman, you made me smile as usual. I'll be calling you soon.
hugs and stuff!
