I would love to see Rush.
Yay for your daughter for going to a concert with you.
My mom wasn’t into music, but every summer she would take me to a Broadway matinee, and lunch in the city. We started it about 15 or 16, (the summer before my Junior year in HS, and we did it every summer until Was in my late thirties, and mom couldn’t get into the city as easily. I miss that.
(The last Broadway show I saw with my mom was “Amy’s view” with Judi Dench. I paid over 200 a ticket, but mom and I love her).
I’d never seen the whole thing.
The man was wonderfully self-possessed.
:)
He was definitely at ease in his own skin!
I read most of Bradbury whilst perched high up on the widest limb of a huge willow tree in the back yard.
I would not trade that for the world.
It’s how he should be read.
:)
Thanks for making this a fun thread. Really enjoyed it.
You too, sweety...:)
I need to let the dogs out.
[and know you know who did ~that~]
I’m zonked, too.
It’s 5am, here.
>.<
A manly man.
*sigh*
That’s for sure. There’s one chat show video I saw and he says straight up where he has his tattoo! lol.
(The last Broadway show I saw with my mom was Amys view with Judi Dench. I paid over 200 a ticket, but mom and I love her).
And I bet your mom loved you too. And chastising you for spending so much money! Of course the memories were worth $400 a ticket!
Why do I feel old all of a sudden?
I feel so very old. Like the first time someone called me “Ma’am”
Or my friends teenager, who can’t believe I remember the night John Lennon died like it was tonight.
Yes - although I think it was more the great concert. She did want some songs downloaded to her I-pod, but not sure how much she listens to it.
She likes the hard rock and “screamo” music. But of the Christian variety! (Weird combination to me - but both my daughter and my son like it. Although my son (who does like Rush) has progressed to Christian rap as well. Goofy!)
It was around Mother’s Day.
I ate a lot of peanut butter to pay for those tickets.
However, I bought my dad a DiMaggio baseball for a Father’s Day and paid much more than 400,
That is the one gift (for me anyway), of getting older. It made me love my parents more, and I saw that even though they were extremely over protective as a teenager, I was blessed they cared so much about me.
I’ve felt old for quite a while.
I’m now 2 days into being 53.
Not thrilled with that, at all.
Two years from now, I’ll get senior citizen discounts at the grocery store.
Where did my life go?
In my head, I’m 18.
[and I like it]
:D
There were 120 minutes people, and there were Headbanger's Ball people, and never the two could mingle.
I would have hated you!! LOL! :p
“99 Luftballons in both languages.
A guest comic (Tim Cavanaugh I think) on a radio show once did his parody song called “99 Dead Baboons”
Ugh. Now you have reminded me of that insipid movie "Valley Girl"
Must. Scrub. Brain.
“First concert I saw was in 1982. The Who in Boulder, Colorado at Folsom field.”
I think that was the first version of the Who’s farewell tour in 82. It was worth it to see Pete Townsend windmilling. Daltry still had a voice and the Ox was still on bass. My ears rang for 3 days after that
To this day, I get a kick out of seeing Martin Chambers and James Honeyman-Scott holding up their cards reading "SPECIAL" in the "Brass in Pocket" video. Don't really know why.
