The bar was dark, seedy, the type dive he loved. Jagger drawled on the overhead, I’m not lookin’ for a lady. Smoke swirled around the room, dissipated only slightly by the overhead fans.
“I’ll have a beer, barkeep.†Laying some bills on the bar, Mick tipped back his hat and glanced at the person to his right. “That’s me you’re listening to, you know.â€
Bess turned sideways, streams of smoke trailing from her nostrils. “Right, mate. And, I’m just waiting for my friend. Move on.â€
“No, really. Listen, I’ll sing it for you.â€
More smoke, then Bess pointedly turned away.

Lance’s 100 Word Song challenge features an OLD Stone’s tune. I couldn’t get past how young Jagger looked and how country he sounded on this video. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I like country. Diggin’ the hat, too. Wondered what would happen if he tried to own up to the song today.
