Backed by the Solid Gold band and featuring his longtime comedy partner Tom Davis as Keith Richards, Franken bounces around onstage and exhibits a near-perfect display of the rock star's compellingly ugly sensuality. (The "Start Me Up"-era Jazzercize outfits were a nice touch.) It's the rock-'n'-roll impersonation of a lifetime; if he retains even a tenth of this energy level in the Senate, the economy will be fixed in no time...

And, aware that drunken tourists sometimes block traffic when they struggle to pedal, he plans to add an electrical mechanism to the undercarriage this year to "help push the bike forward." In a city known for its tolerance, these efforts may be enough to assuage angry residents - and keep the beer flowing, and the bike...
