I do see the moisture that you're talking about, but I don't think he's crying. I have never seen him look as lovely as he does in that video. And the head butt with Mick in the end is so sweet. Sigh.

In addition to the videos, the group did beautiful still photos to promote Tango as well, before he left.

As for interpretations, most of the time it is most helpful to give our own meanings to a piece and try to apply it to our own lives. But with this particular group, I think people like to ferret out interband meanings most. In this case, maybe I'd rather think a song is about John and Mick's love than my own fear of growing old, whereas when it comes to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards it's more useful to divine a more personal message.

Of course, when FM members know hundreds and thousands of individuals, it shows astounding tunnel vision to think that the songs they write are about only the 4 people that we know they know, rather than the many other people in their lives who are strangers to us. But it's a fun activity.
