After further review

So the Ol' Man got hisself the DVD of his "performance" Friday night.

It kind of vindicates and validates, and it kind of doesn't. It's a great learning tool, this DVD. The Ol' Man doesn't make a lot of eye contact in the beginning. Well, also in the middle and the end. He also tends to lumber while walking to the stage.

He also does his nervous talking, self-deprecating thing to a tee. He is easily jolted by the audience, who as you know sang along several times. And he tends to keep his eyes completely shut, like Ray Charles shut, while singing.

Twice, he screwed up chord changes. Twice, he smiled and laughed it off. Once, he actually sang the words, "f*cked in Folsom Prison" by mistake, though it kind of can be written off as lyrical and poetic license. Because really, when you're in prison, you're basically f*cked.

The only time OMS looked comfortable was midway through each song, when he pretty much forgot where he was. He also slouches way, way too much. But Kurt Cobain used to stand and face the wall when he started, and Morrison, well, you know about that.

Bottom line is the Ol' Man has some work to do. But it's good work. (And enough about this. Ya'll need you some more Scarlett, we know).
