Can you believe it's been eight whole years since we heard that wonderful, chiming theme music? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX09pdTZ3ww
Since Mick smirked at Josef while listening to the Master Financier doing his patented combination of ruthless telephonic negotiation and... well, just ruthlessness in general?
Since we watched Mick giving his fantasy interview to someone off-camera who sounded suspiciously like Beth? 
Since that amazing hug that melted 50 years of Mick's iron control, along with our hearts? 
It seems impossible, but it has been eight years since the show that brought us together made its debut.
I think it's entirely appropriate that, last night, many of us got to experience the "Super Blood Moon," which is a fancy way of describing a total lunar eclipse (which can tinge the moon a deep reddish hue) when the Moon is closest to the Earth in its orbit (so it looks bigger). It was beautiful, although for many of us it was obscured by clouds. But as I watched that beautiful moon rising over Los Angeles, I was swept into memories of the show. All those gorgeous shots of the full moon, flyovers of the LA skyline, beautiful scenery. Somehow, in Mick St. John's LA, the moon was always full. And it seems especially appropriate to have the eclipsed moon tinged red in honor of our favorite vampires on the night before this special anniversary.
So I wish you all a beautiful Moonlight anniversary.
May the Moonlight always light your way through the darkest night. And may a mysterious, handsome stranger in a long coat appear just in time to save you, should you need saving. I know he's out there, watching from a rooftop somewhere. And that makes me happy.
