So In my dream, I am stuck in the limelight on stage with the Rolling Stones. It's fun, but hellaciously hot in here. Help!

So, I had the strangest dream last night. I was on tour with the Rolling Stones. It was back in 1978 and I was attending a Stones concert at JFK Arena in Philadelphia that I actually saw in real life. But in my dream, there I was, not out in the audience but up on stage and literally in the limelight (quite literally, hover your mouse over the light and you will see what I mean – look for the tag)

So I have a  little Christmas/Hanukkah gift for you, my faithful Facebook friends and followers – a mysterious actual bootleg recording of my gig with the Stones in the JFK Arena in Philadelphia in June 1978. In real life I just recorded in the last few days Eddington Records in Oklahoma City. Don't ask me to explain the time travel and other physics oddities that it took to get this to happen, but trust me, it did somehow. 
So here it is coming right to you from the limelight on stage with Mick, Keith, and the boys, about to graduate high school and go from there on to smaller and better (?) things like Harvard College and med school, a career in radiology instead of rock 'n roll, raising two amazing kids and negotiating two marriages on the way, but meanwhile still a teenage rocker hiding in the middle of the limelight onstage with the Rolling Stones.. 

And, so typical for a dream, there was a mysterious risk of being out in public naked. Somehow, I seem to have busted a button in my trousers which made them

The mini set list many almost fall down. You wouldn't have wanted my trousers to fall down, would you? (Check out the end of Jumping Jack Flash to find out how it turned out)

1. Jumping Jack Flash (our opener) – never fails to get the crowd going

2. Satisfaction (who says you can't get no satisfaction? This one always satisfies)

man, that one was satisfying
3. Well, you can't always get what you want. Whether that might be living on a tropical island or touring with the Rolling Stones or anything else you might happen to dream of, you might just find, you might just find that living in Oklahoma City, being married to Jiji Pollack, after having raised two wonderful kids – you might have gotten just what you needed.

And then we finished the mini set with four songs about – what else? – Girls of course, starting with 
4. Angie.

5. moving on to Ruby Tuesday

6. Then, penultimately, to an unnamed girl  who once had me under her thumb

And finally, for
7. The Last Time

Then I woke up, and thus ended my mini dream tour with the Rolling Stones –
