Sure, everyone knows the new junior senator from Minnesota used to be on SNL (including the roughly 4.5 trillion people yesterday who Tweeted a "good enough, smart enough, and doggone it, people like him" joke after the news broke.)
But did you know that in the early '80s Al Franken also co-founded the Franken & Davis School of Rock Star Impersonators?
(I originally wanted to do a retrospective of some of my favorite Franken & Davis sketches from back in the day, but my searches for embeddable SNL videos came up short...this was a pretty fantastic consolation prize, though, one I couldn't believe I'd missed until now.)

I consider a good Stones impersonation perfectly reasonable qualification for the Senate. God knows we've elected worse =( .
That, quite possibly, will be Al Franken's greatest contribution to humanity over the course of his entire life. And he was off key ...
