	All the announcers were getting ready for the great 'finale' for
the most star-studded concert ever.  I was getting excited, expecting some
really great music!

	THEN

The three stooges stumbled onto stage, each one of them strumming one chord
for the duration of fifteen minutes (I'm not even sure if they were all
strumming the same chord!).  Dylan's singing was not unlike a screaming cat.
(Of course a very unmusical cat).  The three 'dorks' (I would have preferred
'airheads', myself) had obviously never played together before this 'debut',
as the two STONErS didn't know what was going on!  They both had obvious
spells of confusion, with their cigarettes hanging from their mouths.  
	I think it is lovely to share these wonderful moments of musical
history with 2 billion people around this great globe of ours.  For many
people, this is their first real glimpse of the civilized western world.
(Dylan isn't stupid, of course.  With such a complete lack of musical 
ability, one can't be stupid and become rich in the music industry)

	The rest of the show was great!
