Original Airdate: 11/10/02
When Homer is secretly videotaped complaining about his family during
an episode of Taxicab Conversations, they send him off to
a rock and roll fantasy camp so that he can regroup and try to live
his dream.
Once there, he lives the life of a rock star, as taught to him by the
likes of Mick Jagger, Elvis Costello, Keith Richards, Brian Setzer,
Tom Petty and Lenny Kravitz. When the camp ends after a week, Homer
doesnt want to leave. He just wants to rock.
Mick Jagger then invites Homer to come on stage for a benefit concert
theyre giving. Once on stage, Homer realizes that hes not
a star, but just the groups Roadie. Homer decides to then wail on a guitar
and introduce the band with a musical number of his own. Mick,
Elvis,
Keith, Tom, Lenny and Brian try to run Homer off stage and a riot breaks
out at the venue.
In the end, the rockers apologize to Homer for their behavior and ask
him to come on stage for another benefit concert. Homer declines however,
saying that hes already the rock star of the Simpson family, so
theres no need to go on stage any longer.
