Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Me Mootha, Roger Waters

Last night Wendy and Julian watched the Hurricane Sandy Relief Benefit Concert which featured such musical luminaries as Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Roger Waters, Alicia Keys, The Who, Eric Clapton, Kanye West, Billy Joel, to name but a few. I joined the fray at 11 p.m. when I returned home from badminton in 'the Hamptons'.

During some of the benefit concert's slower moments, Julian played some classic videos of Me Mootha.

The benefit concert finished at 2:15 a.m., at which time I announced to Julian that the highlight of the evening was watching the Me Mootha videos. Apparently the Rolling Stones, Clapton and Roger Waters were also excellent. What is it about these British characters, including Mootha, that makes them so attractive?
