I wanna introduce
some people who came along tonight. Keith Richards and Ron Wood. I don't know,
where they are?
(Richards
& Woods appear and Ballad Of Hollis Brown is performed) Thank you. I thought that was a fitting song
for this important occasion. You know while I'm here, I just hope that some of
the money that's raised for the people in Africa, maybe they could just take
just a little bit of it, 1 or 2 million maybe, and use it to, maybe use it to
pay the mortgages on some of the farms, that the farmers here owe to the banks.
Thank you. It sounds all right out
there ? How much time we got ? Right. (after When The Ship Comes In)
