So this is ChristmasAnd what have you done?

Merry Christmas.

We went to our friends' house last night for the second straight year. Bill and Susan. The little kids sang, while the adults had fancy cheese and cocktails.

My lady and I came home, hopped in bed and watched Burn After Reading, which was freaking hilarious.

I neglected to mention that we finally saw Shine A Light, the Scorcese/Stones movie, last week. It's definitely worth poppping in and giving your home system a little workout. Keith is pretty sloppy and behind the beat, but shit, he's earned that right. The guests (Jack White, Buddy Guy and Christina Aguilera) are incredible. Jack White does Loving Cup with them and you can see how tickled he is to be trading verses with Mick. Buddy Guy does Champagne and Reefer and owns it. Christina came out, and tore Live with Me in half. Mick was feeling her up onstage. Pretty entertaining.

Here's a completely unrelated video for you Christmas enjoyment:



^^They (The Faces) are touring next year. Ron Wood is broke & getting a divorce, so he needs the cash. Obviously Ronnie Lane is dead, and will be missed, but I'd definitely check that show out.

Here's Ronnie Lane:



I'd give a kidney to time travel and get up on stage with that band there. The Mitten does a killer version of the song.

Hey, love you guys. Thanks for reading and checking in here. I'm closing in on the 1000th post here at The Dude Abides.

Merry Christmas.
