December 12, 1975
If you have never seen George's performance on Rutland Television from 50 years ago, then you need to stop what you are doing and go to YouTube to see it. If you had seen it live, it must have been extremely hilarious. George is seen walking down a staircase while strumming the guitar. A group of men is behind him, and they seem to be playing the introduction to "My Sweet Lord." And you would think, "Nice. George is going to perform My Sweet Lord on this show." But to your shock and surprise -- George starts singing a song about being a pirate! Soon, Eric Idol is trying to get George to stop, but he keeps repeating the song. Next, show girls and others in costume descending the stairs and joining George in the singing. Before you can catch your breath, Idol and the showgirls are doing a kickline, and George is kicking his legs as well. What a great highlight of George's humor!
